WARNING
If a pre-mixed disinfectant is used, be sure to observe the expiration date.
CAUTION
When cleaning and disinfecting transducers, do not allow any fluid to enter electrical
connections or metal portions of the USB connector. Damage due to fluids in these areas is
not covered by the warranty or your service contract.
CAUTION
To keep fluids from entering the transducer, do not disconnect the USB cable from the
transducer during cleaning and disinfection.
NOTE
Transducers can be disinfected using the wipe method only if the product labeling of the
compatible disinfectant you are using indicates it can be used with a wipe method.
1. Clean the transducer and cable according to the procedures in “Transducer and Cable
Cleaning” on page 132. Observe all warnings and cautions.
2. After cleaning, choose the low- or intermediate-level disinfection solutions compatible with
your transducer, cable, and USB connector. For a list of disinfectants compatible with your
transducer, see “Disinfectants Compatibility” on page 140. Follow the label instructions for
preparation, temperature, solution strength and duration of contact. Ensure that the
solution strength and duration of contact are appropriate for the intended clinical use of
the device. If a pre-mixed solution is used, be sure to observe the solution expiration date.
