Disinfecting TEE Transducers by Immersion
Disinfection by immersion is the accepted method of infection control for TEE
transducers. Philips recommends that a protective transducer cover be used dur-
ing examinations.
Upon receiving your new transducer, disinfect it before performing the first exam.
Clean and disinfect the transducer immediately after each use to protect patients
and personnel from a variety of pathogens. Establish and clearly post a cleaning
procedure that includes the following steps.
Immerse this section only, up to
5.08 cm (2 in) from strain relief
