CAUTION
Do not immerse transducers longer than the minimum time needed for your level of
disinfection. For information on the levels of disinfection requirements, see
Correct Transducer-Care Method” on page 257
.
Minimizing the Effects of Residual Disinfectant
If you use an OPA-based disinfectant, residual solution may remain on your transducers if you
do not carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING
Residual OPA on TEE transducers may cause temporary staining of the mouth and lip area
and irritation or chemical burns of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach.
To minimize the effects from residual OPA, or any other disinfectant, Philips recommends the
following:
WARNING
Follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions very carefully. For example, the
manufacturer of Cidex OPA recommends soaking transducers three times in fresh water.
WARNING
Use a protective transducer cover during endocavity and TEE studies.
WARNING
Use a sterile protective transducer cover with sterile ultrasound transmission gel during
intraoperative and biopsy studies.
