13�1�6 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.
■ Daily Disinfection
Perform the following steps to clean the probe cable.
1. Use a lint-free soft dry cloth dampened with mild soapy water to wipe the probe cable.
