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.
