17.3.2 Cleaning – Disinfecting Procedures
There are two methods of cleaning and disinfection available for the
Z.ONE
Ultra
transducers.
•
For external-use transducers (CLA and LA), ZONARE recommends performing the “wipe
method” (described next) after each exam. In addition, ZONARE recommends performing the
immersion method disinfection weekly.
•
For internal probe (EV), ZONARE recommends performing the “immersion method”
disinfection after each exam.
The
Z.ONE
Ultra
transducers cannot be sterilized. When sterility is required, use a sterile transducer
cover/sheath and sterile ultrasound/coupling transducer gel. Follow all prescribed sterility techniques
.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, prior to cleaning any transducer, fully disconnect it from the Scan
Engine. If cleaning of the transducer is being performed near the
Z.ONE
Ultra
,
ZONARE also
recommends disconnecting the AC power from the SmartCart or miniCart..
CAUTIONS
Always use protective eyewear and clothing when cleaning or disinfecting the transducers. Do
not allow the disinfectant to come in contact with metal surfaces (transducer connector). Use a
soft cloth and warm soapy water to remove any disinfectant that remains on metal surfaces. If
using a brush, only use a very soft brush when cleaning transducers, because even a soft brush
may cause transducer damage. Use only a soft cloth
