COVID-19 Related Disinfection Damage

                             

Three Technical Alert Bulletins were issued in the month of September by MXR Ultrasound Division. All three bulletins were written by MXR repair engineers and came about as a result of multiple cases of damage caused by disinfection processes administered at multiple customer sites.  The MXR Repair Department decided to issue these bulletins in an effort to minimize recurrence of the damage in order to save their customers unnecessary down-time of their ultrasound as well as the cost to repair it.

Below are the three bulletins issued in September:
