5 Disinfecting and Sterilizing the Probe Cable
!
To avoid potential disease transmission, you should wear sterile medical gloves and
protective goggles during disinfection or serialization.
Do not immerse the probe cable in alcohol or isopropyl alcohol at any concentration for a
long period of time. Avoid any contact with iodine or phenols. Otherwise, it will accelerate
the aging of the cable and decrease the service time of the probe, or even result in cable
damages.
Disinfection
Perform the following steps to disinfect the probe cable.
1. Use a lint-free soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water to wipe the probe cable.
2. Rinse the cable with fresh running water to completely remove the residual cleaner.
3. Perform the medium-level disinfection to the probe cable as shown in Table14-4.
4. Rinse the surfaces of the probe cable with fresh running water to completely remove
the residual disinfectant.
5. Dry the probe cable with a lint-free soft dry cloth.
