Transducer Sterilization
WARNING
Sterile transducer covers are disposable and must not be reused.
WARNING
If a premixed solution is used, be sure to observe the solution expiration date.
CAUTION
Transducers must be cleaned after each use. Cleaning the transducer is an essential step
before effective disinfection or sterilization. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions
when using disinfectants.
CAUTION
Use only liquid solutions to sterilize transducers. Using autoclave, gas (EtO), or other methods
not approved by Philips will damage your transducer and void your warranty.
CAUTION
Do not allow sharp objects, such as scalpels and cauterizing knives, to touch transducers or
cables.
CAUTION
When handling a transducer, do not bump the transducer on hard surfaces.
CAUTION
Ensure the solution strength and duration of contact are appropriate for sterilization. Be sure
to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
