13.1.5 Probes Cleaning and Disinfection
After completing each examination, clean and disinfect (or sterilize) the probes as required. When biopsy
procedures have been performed, be sure to sterilize the needle-guided bracket. Fail to do so may result
in the probe and the needle-guided bracket to becoming sources of infection. Please follow the
instructions in the manual for cleaning.
WARNING:
Never immerse the probe connector into liquid such as water or
disinfectant. Immersion may cause electrical shock or malfunction.
CAUTION:
1.
When performing cleaning and
disinfection of the probe to prevent
infection, wear sterile gloves.
2.
After disinfection, rinse the probe thoroughly with sterile water to
remove all chemical residues. Chemical residues on the probe may
be harmful to the human body.
3
No cleaning and disinfecting may result in the probe becoming a
source of infection.
NOTE:
1. After the examination, wipe off the ultrasound gel thoroughly. Otherwise, the ultrasound
gel may solidify and degrade the image quality of the transducer.
2. DO NOT make the probe to become overheated (more than 55°C) during cleaning and
disinfections. High temperature may cause the probe to become deformed or damaged.
