Probe Cleaning and Disinfection Instructions
Probe Safety
WARNING Ultrasound probes are highly sensitive medical instruments that can easily be damaged by improper handling. Use care when handling and protect from damage when not
in use. DO NOT use a damaged or defective probe. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury and equipment damage.
Ultrasound transducers can easily be damaged by improper handling and by contact with certain chemicals. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury
and equipment damage.
• Do not immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level specified for that probe. Never immerse the transducer connector or probe adapters into any liquid.
• Avoid mechanical shock or impact to the transducer and do not apply excessive bending or pulling force to the cable.
• Transducer damage can result from contact with inappropriate coupling or cleaning agents:
• Do not soak or saturate transducers with solutions containing alcohol, bleach, ammonium chloride compounds or hydrogen peroxide
• Avoid contact with solutions or coupling gels containing mineral oil or lanolin
• Avoid temperatures above 60°C.
• Inspect the probe prior to use for damage or degeneration to the housing, strain relief, lens and seal. Do not use a damaged or defective probe.
CAUTION Adequate cleaning and disinfection are necessary to prevent disease transmission. It is the responsibility of the equipment user to verify and maintain the effectiveness of the
infection control procedures in use. Always use sterile, legally marketed probe sheaths for intra-cavitary and intra-operative procedures.
For neurological intra-operative procedures, use of a legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheath is REQUIRED. Probes for neuro surgical use must not be sterilized
with liquid chemical sterilants because of the possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the probe.

Hazard A defective probe or excessive force can cause patient injury or probe damage:
• Observe depth markings and do not apply excessive force when inserting or manipulating intercavity probes.
• Inspect probes for sharp edges or rough surfaces that could injure sensitive tissue.
•DO NOT apply excessive force to the probe connector when inserting into the probe port. The pin of a probe connector may bend.
In order for liquid chemical germicides to be effective, all visible residue must be removed during the cleaning process. Thoroughly clean the probe, as described on the
following page before attempting disinfection.
CREUTZFIELD-JACOB DISEASE
Neurological use on patients with this disease must be avoided. If a probe becomes contaminated, there is no adequate disinfecting means.
Electrical
Hazard
The probe is driven with electrical energy that can injure the patient or user if live internal parts are contacted by conductive solution:
•DO NOT immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level indicated by the immersion level diagram. Never immerse the probe connector or probe adaptors into any liquid.
•DO NOT drop the probes or subject them to other types of mechanical shock or impact. Degraded performance or damage such as cracks or chips in the housing may
result.
• Inspect the probe before and after each use for damage or degradation to the housing, strain relief, lens, and seal. A thorough inspection should be conducted during the
cleaning process.
•DO NOT kink, tightly coil, or apply excessive force on the probe cable. Insulation failure may result.
• Electrical leakage checks should be performed on a routine basis by GE Service or qualified hospital personnel. Refer to the service manual for leakage check procedures.

material has dried onto the probe surface.
3. Rinse the probe with enough clean potable
water to remove all visible soap residue.
4. Air dry or dry with a soft cloth.
Probe Disinfection, After Each Use
1. Prepare the germicide solution according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to follow all
precautions for storage, use and disposal.
2. Place the cleaned and dried probe in contact
with the germicide for the time specified by the
germicide manufacturer. High-level disinfection
is recommended for surface probes and is
required for endocavitary and intraoperative
probes (follow the germicide manufacturer's
recommended time).
Probes for neuro surgical intra-operative use
must NOT be sterilized with liquid chemical
sterilants because of the possibility of neuro
toxic residues remaining on the probe.
Neurological procedures must be done with the
use of legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free
probe sheaths.
3. After removing from the germicide, rinse the
probe following the germicide manufacturer's
rinsing instructions. Flush all visible germicide
residue from the probe and allow to air dry.
Probe Immersion Levels
1. Fluid Level
2. Aperture
3. Contact face within patient environment
In order for liquid chemical germicides to be effec-
tive, all visible residue must be removed during the
cleaning process. Thoroughly clean the probe, as
described earlier before attempting disinfection.
You MUST disconnect the probe from the LOGIQ e
prior to cleaning/ disinfecting the probe. Failure to
do so could damage the system.
Probe Disinfection Agents
Ultrasound probes can be disinfected using liquid
chemical germicides. The level of disinfection is
directly related to the duration of contact with the
germicide. Increased contact time produces a
higher level of disinfection.
Review the probe care card that is packed with
each probe. The following website contains the
most current and up-to-date recommendations:

Dataflow Concept
A dataflow is a set of pre-configured services. For
example, DICOM services may be for storage,
worklist, verify, etc. In addition, there are other
service types like video print, standard color print,
storage to local hard drive, select patient from local
database, etc.
