CREUTZFIELD-JACOB DISEASE
Neurological use on patients with this disease must be
avoided. If a probe becomes contaminated, there is no
adequate disinfecting means.
Ultrasound transducers can easily be damaged by improper
handling and by contact with certain chemicals. Failure to
follow these precautions can result in serious injury and
equipment damage.
• Do not immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level
specified for that probe. Never immerse the transducer
connector or probe adapters into any liquid.
• 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.
