Disinfecting by Immersion
1. Wear sterile gloves to prevent infection.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Wipe off the water on the transducer with sterile cloth or gauze after rinsing it. Do not dry the
transducer by heating.
