High-level disinfection of a semi-critical probe
1. Wear a pair of gloves to prevent infection.
2. Clean the probe thoroughly in accordance with the cleaning procedure before disinfection.
3. Disinfect the probe by using an appropriate high-level disinfectant. For how to use a high-level
disinfectant, see the operator's manual provided by the manufacturer. Prepare a disinfectant
by using distilled or softened water when necessary.
4. Immerse the probe head partially in the disinfectant and shake the probe appropriately to
remove any bubbles on the probe surface. For details about the probe immersion duration,
see the operator's manual provided by the manufacturer.
5. Rinse the probe thoroughly by using a large amount of distilled or softened water (about 2
gallons) at room temperature for about 30s to remove the residual disinfectant. Repeat the
operation twice.
6. Dry the probe by wiping with a piece of disposable lint-free soft cloth. Do not dry the probe by
heating.
7. Check whether the probe has defects such as peeling, rifts, bumps, cracks, or liquid spill. If
such defects exist, the probe has reached the end of its service life. In this case, stop using it
and contact the Mindray service department.
8. Store the probe in a cool, clean and dry environment. And repeat the cleaning and disinfection
process before the next use.
