10-5-4-2-2 Cleaning and Sterilizing Probes Used Internally
WARNING 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 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.
