System 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 system between patients to the level appropriate for the type of
examination and use FDA-cleared system 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.
System Cleaning process:
DO disconnect the system from the displayer prior to cleaning/disinfecting the system. Failure to do so could
damage the system.
Perform Cleaning system after each use

Disconnect the system and remove all coupling gel from the system by wiping with a soft cloth and
rinsing with flowing water.

Wash the system with mild soap in lukewarm water. Scrub the system as needed using a soft sponge,
gauze, or cloth to remove all visible residue from the system surface. Prolonged soaking or scrubbing
with a soft bristle brush (such as a toothbrush) may be necessary if material has dried onto the system
surface.
