13.1.5 Probe Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilization
Before and after 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. Please follow
the instructions in the manual for cleaning.
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.
No cleaning and disinfecting may result in the probe becoming a
source of infection.
4. Please follow the disinfectant manufacturer's manual for
performing cleaning and disinfection, including preparing sterile
water and cleaning and disinfection time.
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.
