Step 2: Filling the Containers
1. Plug in the unit and switch it on using the ON/OFF switch located on left side of unit. The
red
indicator will
light when the unit is operating.
2. The G10VPL has two 17” containers:
one for disinfectant and one for rinse water
.
3. Some disinfectants require activation before use; follow the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use. Pour the
disinfectant into the soaking container.
DO NOT
fill above the lower shoulder of the container.
See Figure
below
.
4. To prevent evaporation of disinfectant,
always
replace the screw caps on the containers after removing the
probes.
NOTE:
Always replace the screw caps on the containers before turning the station OFF.
NOTE:
Your GUS system
should be
left running as long as there are chemicals inside the containers.
5. Fill the remaining container with clean rinse water for the preliminary rinse. You MUST have one container
for rinse water. This ensures that when the probe is removed from the unit for the final rinse, no high-level
disinfectant will drip or off-gas.
Step 3: Ready for Use
Disconnect the cable from the ultrasound machine. The electrical connector may be placed in the top padded
compartment of the unit.
CAUTION: It is very important to follow the probe manufacturers’ instructions for cleaning, disinfecting
and rinsing your specific probes. The following is a guide only.
Cleaning:
1. Remove any sheath or condom and wipe off gel. Wash probe with enzymatic cleaner or nonabrasive
detergent prior to disinfection to remove any foreign material that remains on the probe or cable. Follow
the enzymatic manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
