Disinfecting probes
Perform After
Each Use
Ultrasound probes can be disinfected using liquid chemical
germicides. The level of disinfection is directly related to the
duration of contact with the germicide. Increased contact time
produces a higher level of disinfection. Refer to the Probe Care
Card that was shipped with each LOGIQ V2/LOGIQ V1 probe.
Ensure that you follow the probe disinfection procedure
provided by GE.

Usage
• Cleaning and care instructions
• Sheath and glove guidelines
Ultrasound probes are highly sensitive medical instruments that can easily be
damaged by improper handling. Use care when handling and protect from
damage when not in use.
Do not immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level specified for that
probe. Refer to the user manual of the ultrasound system.
Since there is a possibility of having negative effects on the probe, observe the
specified immersing time by the germicide manufacturer strictly. Do not
immerse the probe in liquid chemical germicides more than the time prescribed
in the care card.
