Cleaning and disinfecting probes
Probe Care Cards
The Probe Care Card contains a list of chemicals that have been
tested for compatibility with GE Ultrasound probes. The
reprocessing instructions provided in this document have been
validated with the chemicals specified in Table 13-4
on
page 13-30
. The Probe Care Card is supplied with every probe.
For more information, see:
NOTE: With the exception of the chemicals listed in Table 13-4, the
chemicals listed in Table 13-2, Table 13-5, Table 13-6,
Table 13-7, and on the GE website have been tested for
compatibility only. Therefore, only those agents listed in
Table 13-4 should be used for reprocessing, and any
reprocessing performed using chemicals not listed in Table 13-4
must be validated by the user.
Adequate cleaning and disinfection between patient cases are
necessary to prevent disease transmission. All probes must be
thoroughly cleaned prior to disinfection. The level of disinfection
required is based on patient contact.
• Probes that contact mucosal or non-intact skin require
cleaning followed by high-level disinfection by either soaking
or use of a Trophon EPR.
• Probes that contact intact skin require cleaning followed by
intermediate-level disinfection (wipe or spray).
• Verify probe compatibility using Table 13-2, Table 13-4,
Table 13-5, Table 13-6, and Table 13-7, as well as the
Ultrasound Probe Website listed above.
CAUTION
Transesophageal, endocavity and intraoperative probes
require special handling. Refer to the user documentation
enclosed with these probes.
