Probes
560 Vivid S5/Vivid S6 User Manual
R2424458-100 Rev. 2
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.
Table 11-1: Description of Pictogram on Care card
Pictogram Description
CAUTION
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 Vivid S5/Vivid S6 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.
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).
