This device is not indicated for neurological use. Neurological
contact on patients with this disease must be avoided. If a
device/probe becomes contaminated, there is no adequate
means to disinfect it. In this case, the contaminated device/

Ultrasound transducers can easily be damaged by improper
handling and by contact with certain chemicals. Failure to
follow these precautions can result in serious injury and
equipment damage.
• Do not immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level
specified for that probe. Never immerse the transducer
connector or probe adapters into any liquid.
• Avoid mechanical shock or impact to the transducer and do
not apply excessive bending or pulling force to the cable.
• Transducer damage can result from contact with
inappropriate coupling or cleaning agents:
• Do not soak or saturate transducers with solutions
containing alcohol, bleach, ammonium chloride
compounds or hydrogen peroxide
• Avoid contact with solutions or coupling gels containing
mineral oil or lanolin
• Avoid temperatures above 50°C.
• Inspect the probe prior to use and after use for damage or
degeneration to the housing, strain relief, lens and seal.
