WARNING
Disinfectants are recommended because of their chemical compatibility with product
materials, not their biological effectiveness. For the biological effectiveness of a disinfectant,
see the guidelines and recommendations of the disinfectant manufacturer, the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
WARNING
If a pre-mixed solution is used, be sure to observe the solution expiration date.
WARNING
The level of disinfection required for a device is dictated by the type of tissue it will contact
during use. Ensure the disinfectant type is appropriate for the type of transducer and the
transducer application. For information on the levels of disinfection requirements, see
“Transducer Care Methods” on page 131. Also, see the disinfectant label instructions and
the recommendations of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control, the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
WARNING
Transducers must be cleaned after each use. Cleaning the transducer is an essential step
before effective disinfection or sterilization. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when using disinfectants.
WARNING
When sterilizing a transducer, ensure that the sterilant solution's strength and duration of
contact are appropriate for sterilization. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
