12-12 Probes and Biopsy
Before safety and performance is affected, probe 75LT38EA can be sterilized by Cidex
Activated Glutaraldehyde Solution for at least 217 times (10 hours for one time).
Refer to the instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer concerning
concentration of the sterilization solution, method of sterilization and dilution and
cautions during use.
Do not soak the probe connector or the cable near it into water or any solution.
Follow local regulations when selecting and using the sterilization solution.
3. Rinse the probe with plenty of sterile water (about 2 gallons) for at least 1 minute to
remove all chemical residues on it. Or, follow the rinsing method recommended by the
sterilization solution manufacturer to rinse the probe.
4. Wipe off the water on the probe with sterile cloth or gauze after rinsing it. Do not dry the
probe by heating.
Immerse the probe 75LT38EA in the solution
Repeated disinfection may degrade the performance and safety of the probe.
12.1.6 Storage and Transportation
When all examinations for the day have been completed, confirm that the transducer is in
good condition. After disinfecting the transducer, confirm that the transducer is in good
condition and store it in a suitable place so that the next examination can be conducted
smoothly.
1. To prevent the transducer from being damaged, do not store it in locations where it may
be exposed to:
Direct sunlight or X-rays
Sudden changes in temperature
Dust
Excessive vibration
Heat generators
2. Store and transport the transducer under following ambient conditions:
Ambient temperature: -20°C ~ 55°C
Relative humidity: 30% to 95% (no condensation)
Atmospheric pressure: 700 hPa ~ 1060 hPa
3. Store and transport the transducer D6-2EA under following ambient conditions:
Ambient temperature: -10°C ~ 50°C
Relative humidity: 20% to 95% (no condensation)
Atmospheric pressure: 700 hPa ~ 1060 hPa
4. When the transducer is sent to MINDRAY Customer Service Department or sales
representative for repair, be sure to disinfect it and keep it in the carrying case to prevent
infection.
5. Sterilize the carrying case as necessary.
