2. In order for liquid chemical germicides to be effective, all visible residue must be removed
during the cleaning process. Thoroughly clean the probe, as described earlier before attempting
disinfection.
3. You MUST disconnect the probe from the system prior to cleaning/disinfecting the probe.
Failure to do so could damage the system.
4. DO NOT soak probes in liquid chemical germicide for longer than is stated by the germicide
instructions for use. Extended soaking may cause probe damage and early failure of the enclosure,
resulting in possible electric shock hazard.
Disinfecting procedure:
1. Obey the cleaning procedure to clean the probe totally.
2. Prepare and retreat the disinfection solution according to the instruction of manufacturer.
3. Put the insertion region of probe into disinfection solution, the inserting depth can’t exceed
insertion region.
4. Don’t let the probe connector touch any liquid.
5. Soak the probe for 3 h.
6. Pull out the probe, immediately rinse totally with sterile water and saline. Make sure no any
solution remaining. Please obey the rule to do right rinsing procedure including enough rinsing
water and times.
7. When probe is used in sterile area, make sure to use disposable sterile probe hood.
CAUTION:
Ultrasound transducers can easily be damaged by improper handling and by contacting with
certain chemicals. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury and equipment
damage.
Do not immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level specified for that probe. Never
immerse the transducer connector or probe adapters into any liquid.
Avoid mechanical shock or impact to the transducer and do not apply excessive bending or
pulling force to the cable.
Transducer damage can result from contacting with inappropriate coupling or cleaning agents:
Do not soak or saturate transducers with solutions containing alcohol, bleach, ammonium
chloride compounds or hydrogen peroxide.
