Care should be taken to avoid applying disinfectant agents to the cable-
housing junction.
Do not allow any fluids to enter the cable-housing junction.
Do not use any alcohol or alcohol-based products on the transducer cable.
If the transducer shows signs of damage such as cracks, splitting,
delamination of the face or cable damage, discontinue use of the
transducer and contact your authorized SuperSonic Imagine Service
representative for assistance.
Transducer Cleaning and Disinfection
Guidance
Cleaning and disinfection is a two step process: a cleaning step followed
by a disinfection step.
CLEANING
Cleaning is intended to remove all foreign matter (blood, tissue, protein,
scanning gel, etc.) from the device.
DISINFECTION
The level of disinfection required for a device is dictated by the type
of tissue it will contact during use. There are three classifications: non-
critical, semi-critical, and critical. These are based on the degree of risk
of infection involved in the use of the device.
Non-critical applications are those where the device contacts only intact
skin; semi-critical applications are those where the device contacts mucus
membranes or minor skin breach; critical applications are those where the
device enters a normally sterile environment, sterile tissue or vasculature.
Ultrasound transducers used for non-critical applications generally need
only to be cleaned and low-level disinfected between patient uses.
