Probes and Biopsy 12-11
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.
Rinse the transducer 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 disinfectant manufacturer to rinse the transducer.
Wipe off the water on the transducer with sterile cloth or gauze after rinsing it.Do not
dry the transducer by heating.
NOTE:
1. Observe the graph here carefully to immerse the transducer. Only soak
parts of the transducer below the strain relief.
2. Repeated disinfection will eventually damage the probe, please check the
probe performance periodically.
