A1.2 Instructions
Read these instructions before using the trophon EPR:
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) enclosed with the trophon.
Occupational or Workplace Health and Safety Guidelines (OH&SG, OSHA, WHS) for your
institution for lifting, spills etc.
Chemical Indicator Instructions For Use (IFU)
trophon disinfectant cartridge IFU
Instructions for trophon EPR accessories.
Probe manufacturer’s instructions.
If you do not follow instructions:
Burns, bleaching, electric shock or other injury may occur.
High level disinfection may not be achieved.
Residual disinfectant may remain on the probe, which may cause injury when removing the
probe.
Equipment damage may occur.
A1.3 Warnings
Hot Temperatures
Do NOT touch surfaces in the internal chamber. These are hot and can cause burns.
To avoid probe damage, ensure the probe is correctly positioned in the chamber. (See section
C2.3 for correct positioning of probe.)
Malfunctions
Do NOT attempt to open the chamber door during a cycle, power failure or system malfunction.
All repairs must be carried out by trained personnel.
Transporting the trophon
The trophon weighs approximately 17kg (38lb).
The packaged trophon weighs approximately 21kg (46lb)
If your trophon has been used, purge the trophon before moving, to remove hydrogen peroxide.
(See section C3).
Electrical Device
Use the power cable supplied with the trophon. Connect to an earthed power outlet with the
correct voltage and frequency as on the product and specified in Appendix 1. Incorrect voltage
can cause damage.
Spilled fluid can result in electrical shock. Avoid spilling fluids onto or around the trophon. Do
not immerse any parts in liquid.
Do not attempt to access the internal mechanics. This may result in electrical shock.
Protective Wear and Spills
Wear clean disposable gloves when running the trophon EPR and handling:
odisinfectant cartridges, as temporary bleaching and/or irritation of the skin may occur if no
gloves are worn
oprobes before and after a disinfection cycle
oemptying the waste container.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when managing spills.
Never return spills to original cartridges for re-use.

SECTION A2: INTRODUCTION TO THE TROPHON EPR
A2.1 Intended Use
The trophon EPR together with the disinfectant cartridge is a high level instrument-grade disinfectant
system designed to high level disinfect validated ultrasound probes according to the specified
processes outlined in this manual. Do NOT use this device for any application other than its
expressed purpose.
The trophon EPR is NOT intended to reprocess single-use devices or pre-clean ultrasound probes.
Chemical Indicator use is required with every disinfection cycle.
A2.2 Disinfection Process
At the start of the high level disinfection cycle, the trophon EPR creates an aerosol of concentrated
hydrogen peroxide. This is distributed over the exposed surface of the probe providing thorough, high
level disinfection of the shaft and the handle of the probe. The trophon then breaks down the
hydrogen peroxide into small amounts of oxygen and water which is evaporated into the atmosphere.
During a purge, oxygen is vented into the atmosphere and water is collected in the waste container
inside the trophon (maximum capacity 150ml).
The contact conditions are fixed cycle parameters that the end user cannot modify.
A2.3 Disinfection History Log
A disinfection history log can be downloaded from your trophon EPR and printed onto to a PC or
laptop via trophon Connect software (optional accessory - available for certain trophon variants only)
or provided by your service centre during scheduled preventative maintenance services.
A2.4 Validated Probes and Disinfectants
For details of probes that can be used in the trophon EPR refer to:
trophon EPR Validated Probes List at the Nanosonics website.
Use only trophon disinfectant cartridges when high level disinfecting with the trophon EPR.
A2.5 Training
Before setting up or using your trophon EPR, ensure that all users:
Are trained in safety procedures and potential hazards, as outlined in this manual.
Visit Trophon-EPR/Login on the Nanosonics website to complete the online training module
and receive trophon EPR certification.
A2.6 Environment and User Profile
The trophon EPR is designed for use in healthcare facilities to high level disinfect ultrasound
transducers under the control of trained healthcare professionals.
A2.7 Accessories
Accessories* designed for use with the trophon EPR include:
trophon Connect
trophon Printer
trophon Wall Mount
trophon Cart
trophon Logbook
trophon Curved Probe Positioner (CPP)
trophon Clean Cover
Only use trophon approved accessories or the trophon may be ineffective.
*Some accessories are available for certain trophon variants only. Contact your trophon representative
for more information.

SECTION B2: INSTALLATION GUIDE
B2.1 Positioning your trophon
1. Ensure the surface can support the weight and allows adequate airflow (see Appendix 1).
2. Ensure the area around your trophon is free from other equipment and clutter. Position as
shown in Figure 6 to ensure access to all features.
Figure 6
Distance on each side of
trophon:
A = 250mm (10 in)
B = 250mm (10 in)
(not to scale)
3. Turn the back feet either clockwise or anti-clockwise to level (see Figure 2). Check feet are not
loose or missing.
B2.2 Cable Management System Installation
The Cable Management System (CMS) holds the ultrasound cable away from the chamber door, and
is storage for the cable during high level disinfection.
To install the CMS:
1. Open the chamber door.
2. Peel back the protective strip from the double sided tape on the bottom of the CMS (see Figure
7).
3. Align and slide the two hooks on the front of the CMS into the slots in the trophon chamber (see
Figure 8-1) until it cannot slide any further.
4. Push the CMS down on top of the trophon to secure it in place (see Figure 8-2).
