Cleaning and Disinfecting the attachment

Attachment cleaning process
To avoid the cross contamination, follow all infection control policies
established by your office, department or hospital as they apply to personnel
and equipment.
1. After each use, disconnect the attachment from the probe and remove
all coupling gel from the attachment by wiping with a soft cloth and
rinsing with flowing water.
2. Wash the attachment with mild soap in lukewarm water (Below 80°F
[26°C]). Scrub the attachment as needed using a soft sponge, gauze, or
cloth to remove all visible residue from the surface. Prolonged soaking
or scrubbing with a soft bristle brush (such as a toothbrush) may be
necessary if material has dried onto the surface.
3. Rinse the attachment with enough clean potable water to remove all
visible soap residue.
4. Air dry or dry with a soft cloth.
