Probes and Biopsy 13-15

Do not soak the probe connector or the cable near it into water or any solution.
 Follow local regulations when selecting and using the sterilization solution.
3. Rinse the probe with plenty of sterile water (about 2 gallons) for at least 1 minute to remove all
chemical residues on it. Or, follow the rinsing method recommended by the sterilization
solution manufacturer to rinse the probe.
4. Wipe off the water on the probe with sterile cloth or gauze after rinsing it. Do not dry the probe
by heating.
Immerse the probe in the solution (take 7LT4s as an illustration)
NOTE: Repeated disinfection may degrade the performance and safety of the probe.
13.1.6 Storage and Transportation
When all examinations for the session have been completed, confirm that the probe is in good
condition. After disinfecting the probe, confirm that the probe is still in good condition and stored in
a suitable place.
