Disinfecting TEE Transducers with an AER
Before performing this procedure, read the cautions and warnings in
“Transducer Care Safety” on page 255
Transducer Disinfection” on page 269
“Minimizing the Effects of Residual Disinfectant” on
The automated endoscopy reprocessor (AER) disinfector can be used only with those
transducers listed that are listed as compatible in the
“Disinfectants and Cleaning Solutions
Compatibility Table” on page 278
or in the results of a compatible-solution search on the
Transducer Care website:

Methods for disinfecting transesophageal (TEE) and non-TEE transducers differ. For non-TEE
transducers, see
“Disinfecting Non-TEE Transducers by Immersion” on page 268
1. Disconnect the transducer from the system.
2. Follow the manufacturers' instructions for disinfection.
Transducer Sterilization
Sterilization is required if the transducer enters otherwise sterile tissue without a sterile cover.
If you use a sterile cover, you should sterilize but you can disinfect (high-level disinfection). For
information about disinfecting a transducer, see
“Transducer Disinfection” on page 263
WARNING
Always use protective eyewear and gloves when cleaning, disinfecting, or sterilizing any
equipment.
WARNING
In intraoperative applications, sterilized transducers should be used with sterile gel and a
sterile transducer cover.
