The validated cleaning agents for cleaning the transducer are:
Ethanol (75%)
Isopropanol (70%)
Cleaning agents should be applied and removed using a clean, soft, sterile, non-abrasive cloth or
paper towel.
To clean the transducers:
1. Disconnect the transducer from the system.
2. Wear sterile protective gloves to prevent infection.
3. Remove all residual foreign matters from the transducer using sterile cloth or paper towel
immediately after examination. For the situation where a protective sheath is used, the
protective sheath should be removed first and discarded.
4. Wipe the surface of the transducer and cable with a sterile cloth dampened with the cleaning
solution until no visible contaminants remain.
5. After cleaning, wipe off the cleaning solution with a new sterile cloth or towel dampened
with tap water until no visible cleaning agent remains.
6. Wipe off with a dry sterile cloth to remove residual moisture.
7. Leave the transducer to air dry.
8. If the transducer is not visually clean at the end of the cleaning steps, please repeat the
cleaning steps through step 4 to step 7.
9. Inspect the transducer to ensure that there is no damage. The transducer should be disposed
of properly when any damage is found.
WARNING
1. Unplug the transducer from the system prior to cleaning or disinfecting.
2. To avoid infection, always use protective gloves when performing cleaning and
disinfecting procedures.
