11. Care of the USB Probe

USB probe(s) and their cables are completely sealed units. The probe may be submersed in
water up to the cable during normal use.
DO NOT OPEN ANY PROBE
Be careful when handling the USB probe. If the USB probe dropped on a hard surface it can be
damaged.
DO NOT DISCONNECT or REMOVE USB CABLE
Be sure to keep the USB probe plug dry at all times.
The probe should be cleaned after every use. Regularly check the transducer housing and front
face for cracks, as this may cause a loss of fluid which would impair the performance of the
probe. Regularly check the cable for cuts, cracks, and kinks. This could also impair the
performance of the probe.
Cleaning
Ensure the USB probe is at room temperature, rinse off any visible contamination (such as
scanning gel or biological substances) with a detergent and tap water at a maximum of 40°C
(104°F). Do not use water at temperatures below 10°C (50°F). Dry with a sterile cloth.
Maintenance
Periodic testing and maintenance of the Interson USB ultrasound probe is NOT required.
