Figure 13-11. Disinfecting the Probe
4. Dry all surfaces of the probe using a sterile lint-free wipe or
cloth.
5. Saturate a sterile lint-free wipe with de-ionized or sterile
water (remove excess water, wipe should be damp but not
dripping) and thoroughly wipe all surfaces of the probe to
remove chemical residue. Discard the wipe.
6. A total of three (3) rinses are required. Repeat Step 5 two
additional times using new wipes and water.
7. Thoroughly dry all surfaces of the probe using a sterile
lint-free wipe or cloth, changing wipes/cloths when
necessary to ensure the probe is completely dry. Visually
inspect the probe to ensure all surfaces are dry. Repeat
drying steps if any moisture is visible.
8. After each use, inspect the lens, cable, and housing of the
probe. Look for any damage that would allow liquid to enter
the probe. If the probe is damaged, do not place it into any
liquid (e.g. for disinfection) and do not use it until it has been
inspected and repaired/replaced by a GE Service
Representative.
Failure to properly rinse probes with water following
disinfection may cause skin irritation.
