10-6-4-2 General Probe Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Do not clean or immerse probes using any of the following products:
• Acetone
• Ammonium chloride
• Alcohol, ethanol, isopropanol, or methanol
• Bleach
• Detergent
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Iodine
• Para-hydroxybenzoic acid
• Aloe vera, perfume, lanolin, or mineral oil
Do not soak or wipe the probe lens with any product listed above (see Warning). Doing so could result
in irreparable damage to the probe. Follow the care instructions supplied with each probe. In order to
disinfect or sterilize probes without damaging them:
• Use gas sterilization and legally marked, sterile, pyrogen-free probe sheaths on probes used for
surgery.
• Use cold chemical sterilization suitable for plastic medical scanning devices.
• Do not immerse a probe beyond the ridge on its case.
• Avoid cleaning and storage temperatures over 60
°
C (140
°
F).
Warning: Neurological procedures must NOT be performed on a patient with Creutzfield-Jacob disease
because probes that have been used for such examinations cannot be adequately sterilized.
Warning: Neurological and intraoperative procedures must be performed with the use of legally
marketed, sterile, pyrogen-free probe sheaths. Probes used during neurological surgery must NOT be
sterilized with liquid chemical sterilants because of the possibility of neurotoxic residue remaining on the
probe.
