**Ultrasound Probe Maintenance Tips**

**Daily Cleaning:**
Performing regular cleaning using an appropriate disinfectant for the ultrasound machine, probe, and peripheral devices is a crucial practice. Ensure that the fan cooling system of the ultrasound machine is functioning optimally to prevent overheating, which could lead to technical issues. Maintaining a cool environment around the machine is advisable.

**Proper Use of the Machine:**
To ensure the safety and longevity of the ultrasound machine, it is recommended that individuals with limited experience handling the probe refrain from operating the equipment. Entrust the machine to experienced professionals who can handle it with care. Gentle handling of cords, buttons, and peripherals is essential to prevent damage.

**Probe Handling:**
Given that the probe is the component that comes in direct contact with patients, it requires special attention. Regularly check the connector pins to ensure they are not damaged or bent. Perform a daily inspection of the probe membrane for any signs of wear or damage. Consider scheduling regular servicing and prompt repairs, even for minor defects, to maintain the probe's functionality and extend its lifespan. This proactive approach ensures the accuracy and reliability of ultrasound imaging while prioritizing patient safety.
