Disinfecting probes (continued)
1. Prepare the germicide solution according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to follow all precautions
for storage, use and disposal.
2. Place the cleaned and dried probe in contact with the
germicide for the time specified by the germicide
manufacturer. High-level disinfection is recommended for
surface probes and is required for endocavitary and
intraoperative probes (follow the germicide manufacturer's
recommended time).
3. After removing from the germicide, rinse the probe following
the germicide manufacturer's rinsing instructions. Flush all
visible germicide residue from the probe and allow to air dry.
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.
You MUST disconnect the probe from the LOGIQ E9 prior to
cleaning/disinfecting the probe. Failure to do so could damage
the system.
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.
Probes for neuro surgical intra-operative use must NOT be
sterilized with liquid chemical sterilants because of the
possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the probe.
Neurological procedures must be done with the use of
legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheaths.
