Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System

13.4.2 Cleaning Instructions

Disconnect the probe from the ultrasound system. Remove the biopsy guide if it is attached to the

probe.

2. Remove all the coupling gel and clean the probe with soft cloth and ﬂowing potable water.

If the probe surface carries too much residue, remove all visible residue with wet cloth soaked in mild

soap water. Use wet soft cloth to scrub the surface if dried residue exists. Remove all soap water

residue with damp cloth soaked in potable water.

4. Air dry or dry with a soft cloth.

13.4.3 Disinfection Instructions

The level of disinfection is directly related to the duration of contact with the germicide. High level of

disinfection

is recommended for surface probes and required for intracavitary probes. Legally marketed

liquid chemical germicides (e.g. Cidex) are highly recommended. Prepare and use the germicides following

the manufacturer’s instructions.

Warning!

• DO NOT use high pressure steam to disinfect the probe.

• DO NOT use thermal disinfection! Temperatures higher than 66

◦

C or 150

◦

F will damage the

probe.

1. Ensure that all visible residues have been removed.

Prepare the germicide solutions according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Please also follow the

manufacturer’s instructions for storage and disposal of the germicide.

Immerse the probe head into t he germicide for a time interval speciﬁed by the germicide manufacturer.

The immersion level should be kept below the binding line. High level disinfection is recommended

for surface probes and required for intracavitary probes. Note that you may need to rotate and shake

the transducer in order to remove the air bubbles between the transducer surface and the germicide

solution.

After removing the probe from the germicide solution, rinse it thoroughly with clean, potable water to

remove all visible germicide. Dry the probe with a soft cloth.

Refer to the germicide manufacturer’s instruction to perform high level disinfection.
