Chapter 5: Site~Rite* IV Probes
The germicide level of activity selected should be consistent with the degree of risk of infection involved
in the use of the device.
*Refer to the solution manufacturer’s instruction on the soak time necessary to achieve these germicide
levels of activity.
Warning:
Do not attempt to sterilize the Site~Rite IV Scanner or Probes with ethylene oxide or heat
sterilization methods. Damage to the devices will result.
5.5 Periodic Probe Testing
The 7.5 MHz (red cable bend relief) and 9.0 MHz (blue cable bend relief) standoff probes should be
tested for proper alignment on a monthly basis, or when the probe has been dropped or mistreated.
Warning: Never use probes that are out of alignment for needle guidance.
Warning: If a probe is damaged in any way, discontinue use immediately.
In addition to the scanner and probe, the following items are required:
• Site~Rite Disposable Needle Guide.
• Needle that fits the needle guide.
• Container of clear water at least 8 cm deep.
To check the probe for proper alignment,
1. Connect the probe to the Site~Rite IV Scanner.
2. Press the Power button.
3. Press the Dot Marker button to display the center dot markers on the screen.
4. Clip 1.5 cm Site~Rite Disposable Needle Guide on to the probe, and insert the appropriate
needle into the guide, bevel facing away from the probe.
Note: For periodic Probe testing, you may use a deeper intersect guide than 1.5 cm, with the
7.5 MHz probe, or a shallower intersect guide, 0.5 cm or 1.0 cm, with the 9.0 MHz probe.
5. Immerse the tip of the probe in a container of clear water.
6. Advance the needle until the tip displays as a bright dot on the Site~Rite IV Screen.
