WARNINGS
Cautions
Cleaning and disinfecting the system and transducer (non-critical)
To clean and disinfect the system and transducer
1 Turn off the system by pressing the Power button.
2 Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
3 Remove the transducer sheath, if applicable.
4 Disconnect the transducer from the system. Temporarily place it where it will not cross-contaminate clean
equipment or surfaces while you clean the ultrasound console.
5 Clean the exterior surfaces of the ULTRASOUND SYSTEM to remove any debris or bodily fluids. Use the
following procedure:
a Use either a premoistened wipe or a soft cloth dampened with cleaner and disinfectant. Choose a
cleaner from
Table 5-2, "Cleaners and disinfectants compatible with SonoSite Edge II system and
transducers"on page 74.
b Remove all gel, debris, and bodily fluids from the system.
c With a new wipe, clean the system, including the display, by wiping from clean areas to the soiled areas.
This method helps to avoid cross-contamination.
d Observe the minimum wet contact time recommended by the manufacturer. Monitor the system for
wet appearance. Re-apply with a new wipe if no longer wet.

To avoid electrical shock, before cleaning, disconnect the system from the power
supply.
Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) recommended by the
chemical manufacturer, such as eyewear and gloves.
Do not spray cleaners or disinfectants directly on the system surfaces or on system
and transducer connectors. Doing so may cause solution to leak into the system,
damaging it and voiding the warranty.
Use only FUJIFILM SonoSite-recommended cleaners and disinfectants. Using a
non- recommended disinfecting solution or incorrect solution strength can
damage the System and transducer and void the warranty. Follow the disinfectant
manufacturer's recommendations for solutions strengths.
Do not attempt to disinfect a transducer or transducer cable using a method or
chemical that is not included here. Doing so can damager the transducer and void
the warranty.
