6 Transesophageal T ransducer
Instructions for Use
6 - 31
Cleaning and Disinfecting the Transducer
WARNING:
To avoid electrical shock and damage to the system, disconnect the transducer
prior to cleaning or disinfecting.
WARNING:
Never use hot steam or Ethylene Oxide (EO) for disinfecting the transesophageal
transducer. These disinfection methods may damage the jacketing material, the transducer
array, or the articulation controls, making the device unsafe to use on a patient.
WARNING:
Never use iodine or solutions containing iodine for cleaning or disinfecting the
transesophageal transducer. Iodine will cause degradation of the shaft material and of the distal
tip resulting in a dangerous electrical hazard.
Caution:
Never clean the transducer with bleach. Cleaning with bleach will damage the flexible
shaft jacketing material, which will invalidate the manufacturer's warranty and could increase
leakage current.
Caution:
The distal tip is very sensitive to pressure. Care must be taken not to damage the tip
while cleaning it.
Caution:
Do not bend the flexible shaft into a curve of less than 30.5 cm in diameter.
Caution:
The transducers have been designed and tested to be able to withstand high-level
disinfection as recommended by the manufacturer of the disinfectant product. Carefully follow
the disinfectant manufacturer's instructions.
Caution:
Never immerse the entire transesophageal transducer in any solution. Immersion of
the transducer handle could introduce fluid into the housing and cause damage to the controls or
steering cables.
Caution:
Do not clean the transducer with ethanol or methanol. Ethanol and methanol can
damage the transducer.
Caution:
(V5Ms only) Do not immerse the transducer above 100 cm from the distal tip; doing so
may damage the controls.
Caution:
(V7M only) Do not immerse the transducer above 70 cm from distal tip; doing so may
damage the controls.
