▌ Cleaning
Cleaning is an important procedure that is carried out before disinfecting the probe. The
probe must be cleaned after each use.
CAUTION
■ Do not use a surgical brush when cleaning probes. Even the use of soft
brushes can damage the probe.
■ During cleaning and disinfection, keep the parts of the probe that must
remain dry higher than the other parts, until all parts are dry.
1. Disconnect the probe from the system.
2. Remove any biopsy adapters or biopsy needle guides. (Biopsy adapters are re-usable
and can be disinfected).
3. Remove the sheath. (Sheaths are disposable.)
4. Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild soap or compatible cleaning solution to
remove any particulate matter and bodily fluids that remain on the probe or cable.
5. To remove remaining particulates, rinse with water up to the immersion point.
6. Wipe with a dry cloth.
7. If necessary, wipe first with a water-dampened cloth to remove soap residue, followed by
a soft, dry cloth.
