Disinfecting probes (
cont’d
)
Special Disinfecting Instructions for the E72: To properly
disinfect the E72 probe, the probe handle can be
reassembled loosely so that the entire probe with handle
can be immersed in the germicide solution. The
adjustment screw must be kept loose so that germicide
can penetrate to all surfaces. After immersing, rotate
and shake the probe while it is below the surface of the
germicide to eliminate air pockets. Allow the germicide
to remain in contact with the fully immersed probe, for
high level disinfection, according to the germicide
manufacturer’s recommended time. To remove all
germicide residue, final rinsing should be done following
the germicide manufacturer’s instructions. Remove
excess water by shaking and allow to air dry.
Ultrasound transducers can easily be damaged by
improper handling and by contact with certain chemicals.
Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious
injury and equipment damage.
S
Do not immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the
level specified for that probe. Never immerse the
transducer connector or probe adapters into any
liquid.
S
Avoid mechanical shock or impact to the transducer
and do not apply excessive bending or pulling force
to the cable.
S
Transducer damage can result from contact with
inappropriate coupling or cleaning agents:
S
Do not soak or saturate transducers with solutions
containing alcohol, bleach, ammonium chloride
compounds or hydrogen peroxide
S
Avoid contact with solutions or coupling gels
containing mineral oil or lanolin
S
Avoid temperatures above 60

Inspect the probe prior to use for damage or
degeneration to the housing, strain relief, lens and
seal. Do not use a damaged or defective probe.
