4) Allow cleaning solutions or transducers to exceed a temperature of 45°C (113°F).
5) Autoclave the transducers and cables or heat them above 70°C (158 °F).
Caution：
Do not immerse the transducers during any stage of the cleaning/disinfection process.
The following cleaning and low level disinfection procedure is recommended.
Do not mix disinfecting solutions as hazardous gases may result.
The cleaning procedure will be more effective in reducing contamination if cleaning is done prior to
drying of adherent visible soil (for example, organic matter or other debris) on the transducer.
Do not reuse alcohol for disinfection.
10.2.1 Cleaning and Disinfecting
Cleaning
1) Wipe the transducer using a damp towel and then a towel with a recommended detergent
such as an enzymatic detergent. Prepare the detergent as recommended by its manufacturer.
2) Wipe the device with a damp towel for at least 3 times to remove detergent.
3) Visually inspect the transducer. If adherent soil is still present, repeat steps 1 and 2.
4) Dry the transducer thoroughly with a clean, soft towel.
Disinfecting
The transducers should be cleaned prior to disinfecting.
Using 70% Isopropanol
1) Wipe the transducer with clean towel soaking in 70% Isopropanol completely for a
minimum of five (5) minutes, but not more than ten (10) minutes recommendations.
2) Wipe the transducer with a damp towel carefully for at least 3 times to remove residual
Isopropanol.
3) Dry the transducer thoroughly with a clean soft towel.
4) Follow your facility's post-processing handling procedures to eliminate or minimize
recontamination of the device before reuse. Contact your facility's Infection Control Office
or Epidemiologist for information regarding such procedures.
