8 Clean and disinfect system and transducer to a high level (semi-critical uses)
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using cleaners and disinfectants. The cleaners and disinfectants
listed in the procedure are both chemically compatible and have been tested for efficacy with the system
and transducers. Confirm that the cleaners and disinfectants are appropriate for your facility’s use.
To clean and disinfect the system and transducer
1 Turn off the system by pressing the Power button.
2 Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
3 Remove the disposable transducer sheath, if applicable.
4 Disconnect the transducer from the system. Temporarily place it where it will not cross-contaminate
clean equipment or surfaces while you clean the ultrasound console.
5 Clean the exterior surfaces of the ULTRASOUND SYSTEM to remove any debris or bodily fluids. Use the
following procedure:
WARNINGS

To avoid electrical shock, before cleaning, disconnect the system from the power
supply.

Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) recommended by the
chemical manufacturer, such as eyewear and gloves.
Caution

Do not skip any steps or abbreviate the cleaning and disinfecting process in any
way.

Do not spray cleaners or disinfectants directly on the system surfaces or on
system and transducer connectors. Doing so may cause solution to leak into the
system, damaging it and voiding the warranty.

Do not attempt to disinfect a transducer or transducer cable using a method or
chemical that is not included here. This can damage the transducer and void the
warranty.

Use only FUJIFILM SonoSite recommended cleaners and disinfectants. Using a
non- recommended disinfecting solution or incorrect solution strength can
damage the System and transducer and void the warranty. Follow the
disinfectant manufacturer’s recommendations for solutions strengths.
Note You must clean and disinfect both the ultrasound system and the transducer after
each use, but only the transducer can be disinfected to a high level.
