You are off radar

In aerodromes where radar is used what is the standard phraseology to be used when a target goes off radar or a blip disappears?

And when the pilot squawks ident and reappears on the screen what is the standard phraseology to let him know that he is back on radar? Can the word 'identified' be used?

Where I work (Male International Airport, Maldives) I often hear the phrase, 'recycle the transponder', when a target gets lost on screen. Is this a correct phraseology?

Note: This is specifically for aerodrome radars.

Thank you all.
