Disinfecting probes (cont’d)
2.
Place the cleaned and dried probe in contact with the
germicide for the time specified by the germicide
manufacturer. High-level disinfection is recommended
for surface probes and is required for endocavitary and
intraoperative probes (follow the germicide
manufacturer’s recommended time).
Probes for neuro surgical intra-operative use must NOT
be sterilized with liquid chemical sterilants because of
the possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the
probe. Neurological procedures must be done with the
use of legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe
sheaths.
3.
After removing from the germicide, rinse the probe
following the germicide manufacturer’s rinsing
instructions. Flush all visible germicide residue from
the probe and allow to air dry.
Special Disinfecting Instructions for the E721(MTZ) and ERB7:
To properly disinfect the E721(MTZ) or ERB7 probe, the probe
handle can be reassembled loosely so that the entire probe with
handle can be immersed in the germicide solution. The
adjustment screw must be kept loose so that germicide can
penetrate to all surfaces. After immersing, rotate and shake the
probe while it is below the surface of the germicide to eliminate
air pockets. Allow the germicide to remain in contact with the
fully immersed probe, for high level disinfection, according to
the germicide manufacturer’s recommended time. To remove
all germicide residue, final rinsing should be done following the
germicide manufacturer’s instructions. Remove excess water
by shaking and allow to air dry.
