Introduction

This user guide supplements the following ultrasound system user guides:

• NanoMaxx Ultrasound System User Guide

• M-Turbo Ultrasound System User Guide

• S Series Ultrasound System User Guide

• MicroMaxx Ultrasound System User Guide

• TITAN Ultrasound System User Guide

• SonoSite Ultrasound System User Guide

It describes the following transducers, which are for veterinary use only:

• L52n/10-5 MHz (L52n) transducer on the NanoMaxx® ultrasound system

• L52x/10-5 MHz (L52x) transducer on the M-Turbo® ultrasound system, S Series™ ultrasound
system, or MicroMaxx® ultrasound system

• L52e/10-5 MHz (L52e) transducer on the MicroMaxx® ultrasound system

• L52/10-5 MHz (L52) transducer on the TITAN® high-resolution ultrasound system or
SonoSite®180PLUS™ ultrasound system

See the ultrasound system user guide for additional safety information; for instructions on
preparation, use, and maintenance of the ultrasound system; and for intended uses for each exam
type and imaging mode.

Guidelines for reducing MI and TI

The following are general guidelines for reducing MI or TI. If multiple parameters are given, the best
results may be achieved by minimizing these parameters simultaneously. In some modes, changing
these parameters does not affect MI or TI. Changes to other parameters may also result in MI and TI
reductions. Please note the MI and TI values on the right side of the screen.

Transducer surface temperature rise

Tab le 3 lists the measured surface temperature rise (in °C) from ambient (23°C ± 3°C) of transducers

used on the ultrasound system. The temperatures were measured in accordance with EN 60601-2-37
section 42 where controls and settings were positioned to give maximum temperatures.s

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Cleaning and disinfecting transducers

To disinfect the transducer, use the immersion method or the wipe method. You can use the
immersion method only if your disinfectant is compatible with it. Check the product labeling.

For more information about cleaning and disinfecting the L52 transducer, refer to the ultrasound
system user guide.

The following table lists disinfectants that have been tested by SonoSite. See the SonoSite Web site
for updated cleaning and disinfectant information: www.sonosite.com.

Tab le 18 does not have the following regulatory information for disinfectants:

•EPA Registration

• FDA 510(k) clearance (liquid sterilant, high level disinfectant)

• CE approval
Prior to use, confirm that the regulatory status of the disinfectant is appropriate for

your jurisdiction and use.
