6.
Visually inspect the probe for soil. Repeat Steps 3 through 5 until all visible soil has been
removed from the surface of the probe.
7.
Rinse the probe under running warm potable water (30 - 40°C) for not less than 2
minutes. Scrub the surface of the probe with a clean, soft, nylon bristle brush from the
base of the cable strain relief to the distal tip.
Caution
Do not use the brush on the probe lens.
8.
Visually inspect the device in a well-lit area to ensure all surfaces are free from residual
cleaning solution. Repeat Step 7 if visible cleaning solution is observed.
9.
Thoroughly dry the probe using a clean, low-lint, soft cloth or wipe. Pat dry lens.
Caution
DO NOT use a twisting motion or abrasive paper products when wiping the probe as this may
damage the soft lens. To extend the life of the probe lens, pat dry only.
Cable and Connector Manual Cleaning
Caution
Use caution when cleaning the connector. This cable connector should only be cleaned with a
slightly dampened cloth or wipe. Exposure to excessive moisture will result in damage to the
probe and possibly the ultrasound console. DO NOT wet the connector/console interface
surface or labels.
1.
The cable and connector surfaces can be cleaned with the cleaners or wipes listed in the
Probe Care Card.
Note
Use of wipes listed in the Probe Care Card may result in discoloration of the cable.
2.
Wipe the cable with a lint-free cloth dampened with potable water to remove chemical
residue.

Probe Intermediate-Level Disinfection
For Intermediate-Level Disinfection of intact skin contacting probes, choose either the spray or
wipe method.
Note
Probes that contact only intact skin may be disinfected in this manner. All probes that contact
non-intact skin or mucous membranes (e.g., endocavitary, Transesophageal) require High-
Level Disinfection.
