4. Use a soft cloth lightly dampened in a mild soap or detergent solution to clean
the cable and the connector. A soft-bristled brush can be used to clean only
the metal surfaces of the connector. Do not allow any type of fluid to enter
the device. Be careful that fluid does not enter through the strain relief,
through the connector, through the electrical contacts, or through the areas
surrounding the locking lever shaft and the strain relief.
WARNING
If a premixed solution is used, be sure to observe the solution expiration
date.
CAUTIONS
• You can use an alcohol solution for disinfection on the connector only.
Ensure the solution is only 70% alcohol or less. Solutions of more than
70% alcohol can cause product damage.
• Do not use any alcohol or alcohol-based products on the cable.
• Avoid disinfectant contact with the connector label.
5. Mix the disinfection solution compatible with your cable (see "Disinfectants
Compatibility Table" on page 304) according to label instructions for solution
strength.
6. Wipe or spray the cable and connector with the disinfectant, following
disinfectant label instructions for wipe durations, solution strengths, and
duration of disinfectant contact with the cable. Ensure that the solution
strength and duration of contact are appropriate for the intended clinical use
of the device. Ensure that the disinfectant solution does not enter the device
or the connector or come into contact with the connector label.
7. Air dry or towel dry with a sterile cloth according to the instructions on the
disinfectant label.
8. Examine the device and cable for damage such as cracks, splitting, sharp edges,
or projections. If damage is evident, discontinue use of the device and contact
your Philips Ultrasound representative.
