Disinfecting by Immersion
1. Wear sterile gloves to prevent infection.
2. Clean the transducer before disinfecting it. MINDRAY recommends the following
solutions to disinfect the transducer.
Refer to the instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer concerning
concentration of the disinfectant solution, method of disinfection and dilution and
cautions during use. Do not soak the transducer connector or the cable near it
into water or any solution.
Soak the transducer into the disinfectant solution for the shortest time the
manufacturer recommends (for example, the shortest time recommended by the
manufacturer for soaking Cidex OPA is 12 minutes).
Follow local regulations when selecting and using the disinfectant.
