Warnings and cautions of ultrasonic probe
★The ultrasonic probe is a valuable device. It must be careful in
the process of use. Avoid dropping, impact, or abrasion to
transducers.
★When installing or removing the probe, first switch off the power
and then operate it carefully.
★Avoid rapid and extreme temperature changes, as well as lengthy
exposure to direct sunlight or a strong ultraviolet light source.
★Do not use sharp objects to penetrate the acoustic lens.Once the
acoustic lens is damaged, the coupling gel is easy to enter the
interior of the probe and damage the piezoelectric element.
★Do not soak transducer in any liquid above the recommended level as
stated in the user manual for your system, please operate according
to the manufacturer's instructions, otherwise it will lead to
circuit failure or even burn out.
★Do not disinfect at high temperature, because the probe is equipped
with piezoelectric ceramics, high temperature will weaken the
effect.
★Before use, carefully check whether the housing and cable are
damaged, so as to prevent the probe from high voltage injury.
★After the probe is used, the residual coupling gel on the probe
must be wiped clean to prevent rats or other animals from gnawing
the lens.
Daily and Long-Term Storage of ultrasound transducer
Implement pre or post-exam inspection
A good way to extend your ultrasound machine lifetime, and avoid
expensive repair or maintenance costs, is to take a few seconds to
inspect it prior to your exam. The most fragile part is certainly
the transducer. Look for cracks or swellings on or near the lens.
This membrane is made of piezoelectric crystals that emit
ultrasonic waves. The waves are then received back by the
transducer and processed by the CPU, forming images. If the
crystals get damaged, it results in poor image quality. Depending
on the severity and the location of the damage, you can potentially
end up with dark strips or degraded images. This is an issue for
you and your team as diagnostics may be biased by bad images.
The next part you want to check is the cable and connector portion.
They carry the signal from the crystals to the CPU. If they get
altered your image will suffer too. After countless disinfection
cycles or hours in contact with gel, some plastic parts will turn
yellow and get more rigid. This may cause cracks and tears. Also,
the connector is composed of dozens of small pins that can easily
break if mishandled. Be sure to check them too.
