• 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 60°C.
• Inspect the probe prior to use for damage or degeneration to the housing, strain relief, lens and seal. Do not use a damaged or defective probe.
CAUTION
Adequate cleaning and disinfection are necessary to prevent disease transmission. It is the responsibility of the equipment user to verify and maintain the effectiveness of the
infection control procedures in use. Always use sterile, legally marketed probe sheaths for intra-cavitary and intra-operative procedures.
For neurological intra-operative procedures, use of a legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheath is REQUIRED. Probes for neuro surgical use must not be sterilized
with liquid chemical sterilants because of the possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the probe.
Biological
Hazard
A defective probe or excessive force can cause patient injury or probe damage:
• Observe depth markings and do not apply excessive force when inserting or manipulating intercavity probes.
• Inspect probes for sharp edges or rough surfaces that could injure sensitive tissue.
• DO NOT apply excessive force to the probe connector when inserting into the probe port. The pin of a probe connector may bend.
In order for liquid chemical germicides to be effective, all visible residue must be removed during the cleaning process. Thoroughly clean the probe, as described on the
following page before attempting disinfection.
CREUTZFIELD-JACOB DISEASE
Neurological use on patients with this disease must be avoided. If a probe becomes contaminated, there is no adequate disinfecting means.
Electrical
Hazard
The probe is driven with electrical energy that can injure the patient or user if live internal parts are contacted by conductive solution:
• DO NOT immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level indicated by the immersion level diagram. Never immerse the probe connector or probe adaptors into any liquid.
• DO NOT drop the probes or subject them to other types of mechanical shock or impact. Degraded performance or damage such as cracks or chips in the housing may
result.
• Inspect the probe before and after each use for damage or degradation to the housing, strain relief, lens, and seal. A thorough inspection should be conducted during the
cleaning process.
• DO NOT kink, tightly coil, or apply excessive force on the probe cable. Insulation failure may result.
• Electrical leakage checks should be performed on a routine basis by GE Service or qualified hospital personnel. Refer to the service manual for leakage check procedures.
