10-5-6-2 Basic probe care
The VIVID E9 user manuals and various probe handling cards provide a complete description of probe
care, maintenance, cleaning and disinfection. Ensure that you are completely familiar with the proper
care of GE probes.
Ultrasound probes can be easily damaged by improper handling. See the User Manual and probe care
cards for more details. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury and equipment
damage. Failure to properly handle or maintain a probe may also void its warranty.
Any evidence of wear indicates the probe cannot be used.
Do a visual check of the probe pins and VIVID E9 sockets before plugging in a probe.
TEE and Interoperative probes often have special considerations and individual probe user manuals.
For TEE and Interoperative probes also refer to their separate user manuals.
