The use of damaged probes can result in injury or increased risk
of infection. Inspect probes often for sharp, pointed, or rough
surface damage that could cause injury or tear protective
barriers. Become familiar with all instructions and precautions
provided with special purpose probes.
A damaged probe can also increase the risk of electric shock if
conductive solutions come in contact with internal live parts.
Inspect probes often for cracks or openings in the housing and
holes in and around the acoustic lens or other damage that
could allow liquid entry. Become familiar with the probe's use
and care precautions outlined in Probes and Biopsy.
Ultrasound transducers are sensitive instruments which can
easily be damaged by rough handling. Take extra care not to
drop transducers and avoid contact with sharp or abrasive
surfaces. A damaged housing, lens or cable can result in
patient injury or serious impairment or operation.
