manual.
Sterilant Exposure from Probe connector to Patient (e.g. Cidex):
DO NOT allow the sterilant to contact the
patient. Only immerse the probe to its specified level. Ensure that no solution has entered the probe’s
connector before scanning the patient. If sterilant comes into contact with the patient, refer to the sterilant’s
instruction manual.
Endocavitary Probe Point of Contact:
Refer to the sterilant’s instruction manual.
Probe handling and infection control:
This information is intended to increase user awareness of the risks of disease transmission associated with
using this equipment and provide guidance in making decisions directly affecting the safety of the patient as
well as the equipment user.
Diagnostic ultrasound systems utilize ultrasound energy that must be coupled to the patient by direct physical
contact.
Depending on the type of examination, this contact occurs with a variety of tissues ranging from intact skin in
a routine exam to recirculating blood in a surgical procedure. The level of risk of infection varies greatly with
the type of contact.
One of the most effective ways to prevent transmission between patients is with single use or disposable
devices. However, ultrasound transducers are complex and expensive devices that must be reused between
patients. It is very important, therefore, to minimize the risk of disease transmission by using barriers and
through proper processing between patients.
Risk of Infection
ALWAYS clean and disinfect the probe between patients to the level appropriate for the type of examination
and use FDA-cleared probe sheaths where appropriate.
Adequate cleaning and disinfection are necessary to prevent disease transmission. It is the responsibility of the
equipment user to verify and maintain the effectiveness of the infection control procedures in use. Always use
sterile, legally marketed probe sheaths for intra-cavitary procedures.
Probe Cleaning process:
DO disconnect the probe from the system prior to cleaning/disinfecting the probe. Failure to do so could
damage the system.
Perform Cleaning probe after each use
Disconnect the probe from the ultrasound console and remove all coupling gel from the probe by wiping
with a soft cloth and rinsing with flowing water.
Wash the probe with mild soap in lukewarm water. Scrub the probe as needed using a soft sponge, gauze, or
cloth to remove all visible residue from the probe surface. Prolonged soaking or scrubbing with a soft bristle
brush (such as a toothbrush) may be necessary if material has dried onto the probe surface.
