Probe Manual Cleaning Instructions - Cleaning with Wipes

5-8
Use of wipes listed in the Probe Care Card may result in discoloration of the cable.
Warning
Use caution when cleaning the connector. This cable connector should only be cleaned with a
slightly dampened cloth or wipe. Exposure to excessive moisture will result in damage to the
probe and possibly the ultrasound console. DO NOT wet the connector/console interface
surface or labels.
3. After each use, inspect the lens, cable, and housing of the probe. Look for any damage
that would allow liquid to enter the probe.
Danger
If the probe is damaged, do not place it into any liquid (e.g. for disinfection) and do not use it
until it has been inspected and repaired/replaced by a GE Service Representative.

Table 5-2 Cleaning or Disinfection Portions
Manual cleaning is required to ensure the probes are cleaned to the extent necessary for
further processing. Choose the most appropriate method, either the wipe or enzymatic soak.
1. Hold the probe at the proximal end near the strain relief cable. DO NOT suspend or hold
the probe by the cable as this may damage the probe.
2. Dispense a cleaning wipe from the wipe canister.
3. Gently wipe the probe with a cleaning wipe from the cable strain relief to the distal end.
Gently wipe the probe's lens.
