1) When the probe is used for surgical or minimal‐invasive procedures, keep
electrocautery away from the probe. When defibrillator is used, take the probe out of
the body.
2) Keep the acoustic power low and minimize the ultrasound exposure time for the
examination of early pregnancy.
3) Do not expose the connector to water or other liquids. The connector is not
waterproof.
