General Cleaning
After use that involves only contact with intact skin, cleaning and low-level disinfection
are generally sufficient. If high-level disinfection is required (as in semi-critical or critical
uses), the transducer must be first be cleaned and then processed using one of the high-
level disinfectants listed in
Between patient exams, perform the following steps to clean the transducer:
1.
Wipe all ultrasound transmission
gel
off the transducer.
2.
Wipe the
transducers and cable
with a dry, water-moistened or precleaner-moistened
soft cloth.
3.
To clean the transducer, wipe it with a cloth moistened with a (typically)
low-level
disinfectant
from the list on page 284.
4.
To prevent the solution from air-drying on the transducer and cable, immediately wipe
them with a soft cloth moistened with
sterile water
.
Warning:
Never place the electronics casing on the floor when cleaning the
transducer. The cable connection to the electronics must always
be higher than the lowest point of the cable, to prevent fluid from
flowing down the cable to the electronics.
Warning:
Some cleaning techniques can damage transducers. Do not
sterilize a transducer with autoclave, ultraviolet, gamma
radiation, gas, or dry-heat sterilization techniques.
Transducers can be submerged up to, but not including, the
strain relief of the transducer array. Do not immerse or soak any
other part of a transducer in any cleaning material.
Warning:
The cable and connector are not waterproof. Do not immerse the
cable or allow liquid to contact the connector.
Warning:
The Terason Ultrasound System (electronics), the laptop, and the
AC/DC adapter are not protected from spills or splashes. Protect
them with a drape as needed when cleaning the transducers.
