Disinfectants and Cleaning Solutions Compatibility Table
The table that follows lists the disinfectants and cleaning solutions compatible
with the transducers available for your system.
Other low- and intermediate-level disinfectants marketed 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.
NOTE
A 10% bleach solution typically provides a solution that is less than 0.6% NaOCl.
Additionally, products that contain 70% or less isopropyl alcohol (IPA) are
acceptable for use on the transducer portion of the device only. Those
disinfectant types must be used only in a spray or wipe application. This does
not not apply to transesophageal (TEE) transducers. TEE transducers require
unique methods for disinfection by immersion. For details, see "Disinfecting TEE
Transducers by Immersion" on page 311 or "Disinfecting TEE Transducers in an
Automated Disinfector" on page 315.
CAUTION
Do not use alcohol-based products on transducer cables and strain reliefs.
