Do not reuse the water. Always use fresh volumes of water for each rinse.Repeat Step 3
two additional times, for a total of 3 (three) rinses.
Warning
Failure to properly rinse probes with water following disinfection may cause skin irritation.
4. Thoroughly dry all surfaces of the probe using a soft, low-lint wipe or cloth, changing
wipes’ cloths when necessary to ensure the probe is completely dry. Pat dry lens.
Visually inspect the probe to ensure all surfaces are clean and dry. Repeat drying steps
if any moisture is visible.
5. If the probe is not immediately reused, store the probe in a manner that will protect and
keep the probe from being recontaminated. This may be accomplished by placing the
probe in a storage cabinet with filtered air flow and/or by using a disposable storage
cover placed over the probe.
The instructions provided above have been validated to properly prepare GE Ultrasound
probes for re-use. It remains the responsibility of the processor to ensure that the processing,
as actually performed using equipment, materials and personnel in the processing facility,
achieves the desired result. This requires verification and/or validation and routine monitoring
of the process.
Probe High-Level Disinfection - trophon EPR and trophon2
When performing High-Level Disinfection of GE ultrasound probes with the trophon EPR and
trophon2, it is not necessary to disconnect the probe from the ultrasound system. The probe
must be inactive (not selected) during the disinfection cycle.
1.
Upon completion of probe cleaning, ensure the probe has been thoroughly dried with a
clean, low-lint soft cloth or wipe. Carefully dry the probe by wiping from the distal tip to
the strain relief. Pat dry lens.
Caution
DO NOT use abrasive paper products when cleaning or wiping a GE Ultrasound Probe. The
use of abrasive wipes can damage the soft lens (acoustic window). To extend the life of the
probe lens, pat dry only.
2. Visually inspect the probe to ensure the probe is visibly clean.
3. Follow the trophon instructions for probe placement and operation of the trophon system.
Incorrect positioning of the probe may lead to High-Level Disinfection not being
achieved.
Caution
Damage to the probe may occur if the probe is placed in contact with the trophon chamber
wall. Curved probes must be correctly positioned in the chamber using the Curved Probe
Positioner (CPP) supplied with the trophon system.
4. Once the trophon High-Level Disinfection cycle is complete, don a new set of gloves and
promptly remove the probe from the trophon machine. DO NOT allow the probe to
remain in the machine for extended periods of time.
5. Hold the probe at the proximal end near the strain relief cable. DO NOT suspend or hold
the probe by the cable, as this may damage the probe.
6. Wipe the probe from the distal end to the proximal end with a clean, low-lint, soft cloth or
wipe to remove any residual hydrogen peroxide from the probe surface.
Caution
DO NOT use a twisting motion or abrasive paper products when wiping the probe lens. To
extend the life of the probe lens, pat dry only.
7. If the probe is not immediately reused, store the probe in a manner that will protect and
keep the probe from being recontaminated. This may be accomplished by placing the
