with clean water. Wipe three times. Or rinse the probe thoroughly by using a large amount of
clean water (about 7.5 L/2 gallons) at room temperature.
5. Dry the probe by wiping with a piece of disposable lint-free soft cloth. Do not dry the probe by
heating.
6. Check whether the probe has defects such as peeling, rifts, bumps, cracks, or liquid spill. If
such defects exist, the probe has reached the end of its service life. In this case, stop using it
and contact the Mindray service department.
7. Store the probe in a cool, clean and dry environment. And repeat the cleaning and disinfection
process before the next use.
High-level disinfection of a semi-critical probe
Perform the following procedure:
1. Wear a pair of gloves to prevent infection.
2. Clean the probe thoroughly in accordance with the cleaning procedure before disinfection.
3. Disinfect the probe by using an appropriate high-level disinfectant or system. For how to use a
high-level disinfectant or system, see the operator’s manual provided by the manufacturer.
Prepare a disinfectant by using sterile distilled or softened water when necessary.
Immerse the probe head in the disinfectant and shake the probe appropriately to remove any
bubbles on the probe surface. For details about the probe immersion duration, see the
operator’s manual provided by the manufacturer.
Observe the graph here carefully to immerse the probe. Only soak parts of the probe below the
