Transducer Care Disinfectants Compatibility
142 Lumify Ultrasound System
Philips Healthcare 4535 618 58571_A/795 * MAY 2016
CAUTION
Using a non-recommended disinfection solution, using an incorrect solution strength, or
immersing a transducer deeper or longer than recommended can damage the device and
voids the warranty.
CAUTION
The only parts of the transducer that may be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol are the
transducer housing and lens or acoustic window. Ensure that the solution is only 70%
alcohol or less. Do not wipe any other part of a transducer with isopropyl alcohol (including
cables, USB connectors, or strain reliefs), as it can damage those parts of the transducer.
This damage is not covered by the warranty or your service contract.
Disinfectants and Cleaning Solutions for Transducers
The following table lists the disinfectants and cleaning solutions compatible with the
transducers available for your Philips ultrasound system.
Based on material compatibility testing, product use profile, and active ingredients, Philips has
approved for use the following types of low-level disinfectants used as a spray or wipe for
surface (skin contact) and transvaginal or transrectal probes, according to the compatibility
restrictions in the table:
• Sodium hypochlorite based (for example 10% household bleach solution with active sodium
hypochlorite at approximately 0.6%)
• Quaternary ammonium (QUAT) based (for example, products that contain n-alkyl (x)benzyl
ammonium chloride solution where (x) can be any organic functional group such as ethyl
and methyl, and so on; concentration at use should be less than 0.8% total for all QUATs
listed)
• Accelerated hydrogen peroxide based (0.5% hydrogen peroxide maximum)
• Alcohol or alcohol plus QUAT based (product alcohol content cannot exceed 70%)
