10-6-4-2 General Probe Cleaning Instructions
NOTE: For detailed probe cleaning instructions, refer to http://www.gemedicalsystems.com/rad/us/
probe_care.html
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.
