Manual disinfection:
A)
EUP-C514 probe
1)
Prepare the disinfectant solution in a tank
with cold water (please follow the
instructions of the disinfectant
manufacturer regarding application,
concentration, microbiological efficiency,
service life and contact time).
2)
Confirm the concentration of the disinfectant
before immersing the probe. Although Cidex®
OPA does not need to be diluted, it is
recommended to use test strips to verify the
concentration. The test strips can indicate
whether or not the concentration is above the
Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC).
Please also note the expiration date of the
test stripes. Temperature of disinfectant
solution should be minimum 20 °C. The minimum
contact time is 5 minutes. If a different
disinfectant is used, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Please also consider the material
compatibility for the medical device.
3)
Immerse the immersible part of the probe into the disinfectant (see
Fig. 13). Set a clock to insure the recommended contact time which
is 5 minutes.
4)
Rinse the immersible part of the probe with deionized water for
1 minute. (alternatively: immerse the immersible part of the probe
in a tray filled with deionized water (see Fig.18) for 5 min.)
5)
Visually check the outer surface of the probe for leavings of the
disinfectant. If necessary, repeat the rinsing.
B)
Magnetic Sensor Attachment
1)
Prepare the disinfectant solution as stated in the procedure for
the probe.
2)
Immerse the Attachment into the disinfectant (see Fig. 13). Set
a clock to insure the recommended contact time which is 5 minutes.
3)
Rinse the Attachment with deionized water for 1 minute.
(alternatively: immerse it in a tray filled with deionized water
(see Fig.18) for 5 min.)
4)
Visually check the outer surface of the Attachment for leavings
of the disinfectant. If necessary, repeat the rinsing.
