20.3.2 Disinfecting the system
This subsection describes the procedures and precautions for disinfecting the system.
For disinfection of transducers, refer to the operation manuals provided with the
transducers.
DANGER:
After disinfecting the system, ventilate the room fully before
turning the system ON.
If a flammable or explosive gas remains near or in the system,
it may cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING:
1. Before disinfecting the system, be sure to disconnect the
system power cable plug from the outlet of the facility.
If the system is defective, an electric shock may occur.
2. Do not spill or spray liquids such as water onto the
system or peripheral units. If a liquid such as water
enters the system or peripheral units, an electric shock
may occur.
CAUTION:
1. Observe the following precautions to prevent infection.
Wear sterile protective gloves.
Wear new sterile protective gloves each time disinfection
is performed.
2. Do not disinfect the system using a method or chemical
other than those specified in this manual. Doing so may
result in the system not being disinfected properly or in the
surface of the system deteriorating or becoming discolored.
3. After chemical disinfection, dry the surface of the system
fully.
4. The efficacy of disinfectants is not guaranteed by Canon
Medical Systems. Contact the manufacturer of the relevant
chemical for information on its efficacy.
5. Determine the effectiveness of the chemical based on the
criteria (effective period, number of times of use,
discoloration of the chemical, results of testing using
effectiveness test kits, etc.) described in the documentation
provided by the manufacturer of the chemical.
NOTICE:
1. When chemical disinfection is repeated over time, the surface of the
system changes gradually.
2. If any abnormality related to functions of the product is observed after
disinfection, stop using the product and contact your Canon Medical
Systems service representative for repair.
