Cleaning
Cleaning is an important procedure that is carried out before disinfecting the probe. The probe must be
cleaned after each use.
CAUTION:
X
Do not use a surgical brush when cleaning probes. The use of even soft brushes can damage the
probe.
X
During cleaning and disinfection, keep the parts of the probe that must remain dry higher than
the other parts during wetting until all parts are dry. This will help prevent liquid from entering
non-liquid-tight areas of the probe.
1. Disconnect the probe from the system.
2. Remove any biopsy adapters or biopsy needle guides. (Biopsy adapters are re-usable and can be
disinfected).
3. Discard sheaths. (Sheaths are single-use items).
4. Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild soap or compatible cleaning solution to remove any
particulate matter and body uid that remain on the probe or cable.
5. To remove remaining particulates, rinse with water up to the immersion point.
6. Wipe with a dry cloth.
7. If necessary, wipe rst with a water-dampened clothe to remove soap residue.
