Cleaning and Disinfecting
the Ultrasound System
Quick Reference Guide v3
siemens-healthineers.com/ultrasound

This quick reference guide represents a consolidated
view of Siemens Healthineers ultrasound systems
and approved cleaning and disinfection methods for
the systems. The agents and methods listed in each
product table have been cross-referenced with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) List N; products
that meet EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2. Our
dedicated taskforce is monitoring the EPA website and
other external resources focused on the effectiveness
of cleaning agents and methods. This document will be
updated as new information becomes available.
Always refer to the instructions from the disinfectant
manufacturer for guidance on disinfection efficacy,
application process, and appropriate clinical uses.
Complete instructions, including warnings and cautions,
for cleaning and disinfecting your ultrasound system are
available in the Instructions for Use for your system.
• ACUSON Sequoia
• ACUSON Redwood
• ACUSON Juniper
• ACUSON P500
• ACUSON S Family
• ACUSON SC2000
• ACUSON NX2 and ACUSON NX2 Elite
• ACUSON NX3 and ACUSON NX3 Elite
• ACUSON Freestyle
• ACUSON X600 and ACUSON X700
Warnings
• To avoid electric shock and damage to the system,
always power off and disconnect the equipment from
the AC power source before cleaning and disinfecting.
• The use of any disinfectants other than those specified
in the Instructions for Use may damage the ultrasound
system and accessory surfaces and, as a result, may
create electrical hazards for the patients and/or users.
Cautions
• Do not clean the system with chlorinated or aromatic
solvents, acidic or basic solutions, isopropyl alcohol
or strong cleaners such as ammoniated products, as
these can damage the surface of the system. Use the
recommended cleaning procedure. Isopropyl alcohol
exception: It is acceptable to use isopropyl alcohol
only when recommended for cleaning the trackball
assembly; refer to the Instructions for Use for your
ultrasound system.
• Do not use spray cleaners on the ultrasound system
as this may force cleaning fluid into the system and
damage electronic components. It is also possible for
the solvent fumes to build up and form flammable
gases or damage internal components.
• Do not pour any fluid onto the ultrasound system
surfaces, as fluid seepage into the electrical circuitry
may cause excessive leakage current or system failure.
Cleaning and Disinfecting
the Ultrasound System
2siemens-healthineers.com/ultrasound

• To avoid the possibility of static shock and damage
to the ultrasound system, avoid the use of aerosol
spray cleaners on the monitor screens.
• Prior to cleaning or disinfecting the system, you
must disconnect and remove transducers from
the ultrasound system. Unintended contact with
disinfectants approved only for use with the system
can result in damage to the transducers.
Cleaning the System
To clean the ultrasound system, use a clean gauze pad or
lint-free cloth, lightly moistened with a mild detergent,
to wipe the surface of the ultrasound system to ensure
areas are free of gel and any other visible residue.
• Gently wipe the glass surfaces, for example, the touch
screen and monitor.
• Take particular care to clean the areas near the
trackball, touchpad, soft keys, rotary knobs, and the
slide controls.
• Ensure that fluids do not seep into any openings on
the ultrasound system, for example, the seams on the
control panel, the keyboard, or a DVD slot.
Disinfecting the System
To disinfect the ultrasound system, use an approved
disinfectant wipe to disinfect the ultrasound system and
accessories. Follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s
instructions.
See also: For a list of additional disinfectant wipes and
detailed instructions for cleaning the trackball assembly,
transducer holders, gel warmer, and transducer ports,
refer to the Instructions for Use for your ultrasound
system.
