Note: The gears and electronics on the underside of the Holster should not be wiped with the
cleaner.
Note: Additional wipes may be used to maintain the 2.5 minute contact time.
4. Allow the holster to air dry.
5. Perform a visual check to ensure all visible contamination is removed from the surface. If

Disinfecting the ST or U/S Holster: Option 1
An intermediate-level disinfection process must follow the cleaning procedure. The following chemical
disinfectants are approved for use with the holster:
• 50% Bleach (Sodium Hypoclorite) Solution (1 part bleach to 1 part purified or deionized water)
Disinfectants should be prepared and used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations for use,
concentration, and contact time. The use of other disinfectants, other than those specified in these
instructions, should be assessed for equivalency before using. Technical data sheets are typically available
through the disinfectant manufacturers’ web pages to assist in this assessment. Any disinfection process,
including tools and solutions, may influence the wear of a device or equipment.
1. Soak a clean cloth and a soft bristle toothbrush in the disinfectant solution. Squeeze the cloth
thoroughly to remove all excess solution. Tap toothbrush to remove excess solution.
2. Thoroughly wipe down all surfaces of the holster that are visible when a probe is attached, ensuring
that a slightly wet surface is maintained for five minutes. The gears of the holster should not be wiped
with the disinfectant.
3. Thoroughly scrub crevice areas with the soft bristle, standard toothbrush, ensuring that a slightly wet
surface is maintained for five minutes.
4. Sterile gauze or a clean, soft cloth moistened with purified water should be used to remove the
disinfectant from the device. Repeat four additional times to thoroughly remove residue.
5. A clean, soft bristle standard toothbrush moistened with purified water should be used to remove the
disinfectant from the crevices of the device. Repeat six additional times to thoroughly remove residue.
6. Wipe the holster with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) applied to gauze. Ensure the gauze is inserted into
the crevices of the device.
7. Allow the holster to air dry. Do not expose the device to heat greater than 54°C.
