Disinfectants Compatibility Table
Table 8-2 lists the disinfectants compatible with the transducer available for your
system.
For all non-critical transducers, low-level and intermediate-level disinfectants
marked for use on medical instruments and based on quaternary ammonium
compounds (QUATS) or sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), equal to or less than
0.6%, are approved for use. In addition, 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and house-
hold bleach at a concentration of 10% or less are also acceptable for use for all
non-critical transducers. All products must be used with a spray or wipe method.
Do not use these products on TEE transducers except as specified in Table 8-2.
If you require more information:
• In North America, call Philips Ultrasound Customer Service at 800-722-9377.
• Outside North America, contact your local Philips Ultrasound representative.
NOTE
Disinfectants that are not approved for use on a specific transducer appear in
Table 8-2 as shaded entries so that you can easily determine when a disinfectant
should not be used on a transducer.
