sheath and discard it.
3. Wipe away the ultrasound gel or other dirt on the surface of the probe by using a piece of
disposable lint-free soft cloth or tissue.
4. Prepare a cleaning solvent (enzymatic or neutral pH detergent, e.g., liquinox, MetriZyme) by
using distilled or softened water in accordance with the operator's manual provided by the
manufacturer.
5. Immerse the ultrasound probe fully in the cleaning solvent for at least 1 minute or a period
specified by the manufacturer.
6. Wipe and wash the probe surface gently by using a piece of lint-free soft cloth or soft sponge
until no dirt is visible. When necessary, wash the locating groove of the needle-guided bracket
and other items by using disposable cotton swabs. Avoid using a brush to wash the lens
