Probe preparation and use
Inspection
After each use, or before the first use or after long-term storage
of the probe, the probe must be inspected for any damage listed in
the table below. If you find any damage, stop using the probe.
Contact your representative as soon as possible for repairs.
Possible damage types Cracks on the probe handle (user section).
1. Cracks on the probe head (applied section).
2. Scratches on the probe head (acoustic window surface).
3. Swell of the acoustic window material.
4. Cracks or wear on the probe cable.
5. Cracks on the probe connector or any other kinds of visible
damage.
- Deformed pins or broken pins exist inside the probe connectors.
Preparation for Scanning
Attention!
• Effective acoustic coupling does not require excessive pressure,
but requires the coupling gel to contact the patient.
• Check the expiration date of the probe sheath and coupling gel.
Do not use expired probe sheaths and coupling gels.
• Latex or natural rubber contained in medical equipment or
accessories can cause severe allergic reactions in some people. The
FDA recommends that users identify latex-sensitive patients and be
prepared to treat allergic reactions in a timely manner.
• Only apply water-soluble coupling gel on the surface of the
probe. Avoid contact with mineral oil
Probe maintenance: cleaning and disinfection
Clean the transducer and probe handle after each use.
For surface probes, disinfect the transducer regularly. For
intracavity probes, the transducer must be sterilized after each
use.
Keep records of maintenance (inspection, cleaning, disinfection)
and malfunctions.
Probe immersion level
Warning!
• Do not use solutions containing alcohol or mineral oil to clean
or disinfect the probe.
• Wear sterile medical gloves to prevent the spread of potential
disease. Wear glasses
If necessary.
• Do not apply a solution containing ethyl ether to the probe.
Cleaning procedure
1. Remove the transducer from the system. If the biopsy guide is
attached to the probe, remove the biopsy guide.
2. Remove all coupling gel and rinse with a soft cloth and drinking
water to clean the probe.
3. If there is too much residue on the probe surface, remove any
visible residue with a damp cloth moistened with water and a mild
detergent. If there is a dry residue, wipe the surface with a soft,
damp cloth. Remove all the soapy water
Remove the residues with a damp cloth moistened with drinking
water.
4. Air dry or dry with a soft cloth.
Disinfection instructions
The degree of disinfection is directly related to the length of
time of contact with the biocide. It is recommended to perform
high-level disinfection of surface probes and intracavity probes1.
It is strongly recommended to use legally sold liquid chemical
fungicides (such as Cidex). Prepare and use the following
fungicides
Manufacturer's instructions.
1. Make sure that all visible residues have been removed.
2. Prepare the disinfectant solution according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Please also store and dispose of the
biocide in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Immerse the probe in the biocide at the interval specified by
the biocide manufacturer.
The immersion level should be kept below the binding line. It is
recommended to carry out high-level disinfection of surface probes,
and high-level disinfection of intracavity probes. Note that you
may need to rotate and shake
Transducer to remove air bubbles between the surface of the
transducer and the biocide solution.
4. After removing the probe from the disinfectant solution, rinse
it thoroughly with clean drinking water to remove all visible
disinfectant. Wipe the probe dry with a soft cloth.
