- Page 10 Cleaning and Disinfecting Transducers Transducer Cleaning Safety WARNING Use care when handling and cleaning ultrasound transducers. Do not use a damaged or defective transducer. Do not immerse or allow liquid to penetrate a transducer which has had its face or cable sheath compromised. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury and equipment damage.
- Page 11 The level of disinfection required for a device is dictated by the type of tissue it will contact during use. Ensure the solution strength and duration of contact are appropriate for the intended clinical use of the transducer. Always use protective eyewear and gloves when cleaning, disinfecting or sterilizing any equipment.
- Page 12 Care should be taken to avoid applying disinfectant agents to the cable- housing junction. Do not allow any fluids to enter the cable-housing junction. Do not use any alcohol or alcohol-based products on the transducer cable. If the transducer shows signs of damage such as cracks, splitting, delamination of the face or cable damage, discontinue use of the transducer and contact your authorized SuperSonic Imagine Service representative for assistance.
