Explosion Hazard

Handling the Delicate Transducers

©Ultrasound Technologies Ltd
Do not use the System if the power cord has any cuts or openings.
Do not use the transducer if the cable has any cuts or openings.
Do not use the transducer if the transducer face is cracked or chipped.
Do not immerse the transducer cable connectors in any liquids. Electrical shock
could result.
Should the electrical safety fuses have to be replaced, use only fuses of the same type
and rating.
Do not operate or use this system in the presence of flammable anaesthetics or gases
as it could lead to explosion.
The transducers are delicate parts of the ultrasound system and should be treated with
care. The delicate crystals in the transducer may crack and render the transducer
unusable if the transducer is subject to shock. Room temperature liquids should be
used for cleaning. Never use alcohol or mineral oil as an acoustic coupling agent as
transducer or cable damage could occur.
