Inspection before and after use must be performed as described below to ensure safe operation of the transducer. If any abnormality is found, immediately stop using the transducer and contact MINDRAY Customer Service Department or sales representative. 3.1 Check the External Appearance of the...
Operating Procedures This section describes general procedures for operating the transducer. The operator should have adequate clinical experience and received related training. 1. Clean and disinfect the transducer before and after each CAUTION: examination. 2. When using the transducer, wear sterile gloves to prevent infection.
Operating Procedures Utilizing the Transducer Sheath A legally marketed transducer sheath must be installed over the transducer before performing intra-cavitary examination. Protective barriers may be required to minimize disease transmission. Transducer sheaths are available for use with all clinical situations where infection is a concern.
Water immersion is required when performing an ultrasound exam using transducers, including 6LE7(s), 6LE7P, 6LB7(s), 6LB7E, 65EL60EA, and 65EL66HA. The Mindray recommends using syringe: CIVCO 610-224. Transducer 6LB7 is used as an example to describe the immersion method. Perform the following operations before using the syringe.
Page 52
Operating Procedures 2. Fill syringe with sterile water and connect extension tube to syringe, discharge all air in the tube. Attach the syringe to transducer fill port. 3. Orient transducer downward and inject sterile water up to the level a few cm above the end of the transducer surface.
Page 53
Operating Procedures 4. Orient transducer upward to discharge air in transducer cover.
Page 54
Operating Procedures 5. Turn the valve of the syringe to the position shown in the right figure, and then push the plunger of the syringe to discharge the air. 6. Return the valve of the syringe to the original position; orient the transducer downward to discharge sterile water.
Operating Procedures 4.4 Examinations The operator should adopt proper ultrasonic scanning procedures and methods according to different target organs. NOTE: It is required to practice ALARA when operating ultrasonic diagnostic system. 4.5 After Examinations After the examination is completed, turn OFF the ultrasonic diagnostic system and refer to Chapter 5 “Cleaning and Disinfection”...
Cleaning and Disinfection After completing each examination, clean and disinfect (or sterilize) the probes as required. When biopsy procedures have been performed, be sure to sterilize the needle- guided bracket. Fail to do so may result in the probe and the needle-guided bracket to becoming sources of infection.
Disinfecting by Immersion 1. Wear sterile gloves to prevent infection. 2. Clean the transducer before disinfecting it. MINDRAY recommends the following solutions to disinfect the transducer. Refer to the instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer concerning concentration of the disinfectant solution, method of disinfection and dilution and cautions during use.
For intra-operative transducers, they have to be sterilized after completing each examination. 1. Wear sterile gloves to prevent infection. 2. Clean the transducer before sterilizing it. MINDRAY recommends the following solutions to sterilize the transducer. Hydrogen Peroxide and Peroxyacetic Acid -based sterilization solution...

Needle-guided Bracket and Biopsy For details about the needle-guided bracket and biopsy operations, please refer to the needle-guided bracket operator’s manual.
Storage and Transportation Note: For details of storage time and condition for disinfected probes or sterilized probes, please refer to Technical standard for Disinfection of Medical and Health Structures. When all examinations for the day have been completed, confirm that the transducer is in good condition and store it in a suitable place so that the next examination can be conducted smoothly.
