To avoid equipment damage that could lead to image quality degradation, do not
disconnect a transducer while it is in use. Either freeze the image or switch to
another transducer before disconnecting.
To prevent misdiagnosis or harm to the patient, use the correct transducer for
the application. The diagnostic capability differs for each transducer, exam type,
and imaging mode. Transducers are developed to specific criteria depending on
their physical application. These criteria include biocompatibility requirements.
Understand the system's capabilities prior to use.
