Probe Reprocessing
Vscan Air CL Pre-Treatment at the Point of Use (Required for all Vscan Air
CL probes)
The pre-treatment step is for removal of gel and to minimize risk
for cross contamination.
1. After each use,
- remove the protective sheath from the Vscan Air CL if
used.
- gently remove all coupling gel from the Vscan Air CL by
wiping with a soft, low lint cloth.
2. Wipe the Vscan Air CL with one of the wipes (listed in the
website: https://gehealthcare.com/probecare or https://
www.gehealthcare.com/products/ultrasound/
ultrasound-transducers) from the lens of one transducer to
the other. Dispose the cloth, wipe and gloves in the clinical
trash.
3. After each use, inspect the lenses and housing of the Vscan
Air CL. Look for any damage that would allow liquid to enter
the Vscan Air CL.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive paper products when cleaning or
wiping a GEHC ultrasound probe. The use of abrasive
wipes can damage the soft lens (acoustic window).
To extend the life of the Vscan Air CL lenses, pat dry only.
DANGER
If the Vscan Air CL is damaged, do not place it into any
liquid (e.g. for disinfection) and do not use it until it has
been inspected and repaired/replaced by a GEHC Service
Representative.
WARNING
Avoid processing procedures and chemicals that may
damage the probe, such as: Do not steam autoclave or
subject or the probe to Ethylene Oxide (ETO).
