Probes and Biopsy 13-9
13.1.5 Probes Cleaning and Disinfection
After completing each examination, clean and disinfect (or sterilize) the probes as required. When
biopsy procedures have been performed, be sure to sterilize the needle-guided bracket. Fail to do
so may result in the probe and the needle-guided bracket to becoming sources of infection.
WARNING:
Never immerse the probe connector into liquid such as water or
disinfectant. Immersion may cause electrical shock or malfunction.
CAUTION:
1.
When performing cleaning and
disinfection of the probe to prevent
infection, wear sterile gloves.
2.
After disinfection, rinse the probe thoroughly with sterile water
to remove all chemical residues. Chemical residues on the
probe may be harmful to the human body.
3
No cleaning and disinfecting may result in the probe becoming
a source of infection.
NOTE:
1.
After the examination, wipe off the ultrasound gel thoroughly. Otherwise, the
ultrasound gel may solidify and degrade the image quality of the transducer.
2.
DO NOT make the probe to become overheated (more than 55°C) during cleaning
and disinfections. High temperature may cause the probe to become deformed or
damaged.
Cleaning
Please refer to the instructions in the manual and follow your hospital policy and procedures for
cleaning.
1. Disconnect the probe from the system.
2. Wear sterile gloves to prevent infection.
3. Wash the transducer with clean water or soapy water to remove all the foreign matters, or, wipe
the transducer with a soft ethyl carbamate sponge. Avoid using a brush, because it may damage
the transducer.
4. Dry the transducer using a sterile cloth or gauze after rinsing. Do not dry the transducer by
heating it.
Disinfecting with Sprays or Wipes
CAUTION:
Use protective eyewear when disinfecting using sprays.
1. Wear sterile gloves to prevent infection.
2. After you have finished cleaning, spray or wipe the transducer with a disinfectant. Follow the
disinfectant manufacturer’s recommended contact time and mode.
3. Remove any residue with a water-moistened soft cloth on the transducer.
4. Wipe off water on the transducer using sterile cloth or gauze after washing.
