4) Visually check the outer surface of the Attachment for leavings
of the disinfectant. If necessary, repeat the rinsing.
5.4 Drying
1) Wipe the probe with a single-use, fluff-free wipe or towel to
remove moisture from the surface of the probe.
2) Dry the probe naturally in an ambient temperature between
15-30°C for a minimum of 4 hours. Alternatively the equipment
can be dried using a drying heater at a temperature of less than
55 °C.
5.5 Inspection
Inspect the equipment for any damage such as crack, scratch or
deformation. Do not use it if any damage is found.
5.6 Packaging
Pack the probe in a sterile barrier such as Polypropylene fleece
or transparent package made from Polyethylene film and Tyvek®,
and then place it into a tray. The tray should be also covered
with a sterile barrier.
Additionally the probe can be placed on plastic mesh wires supplied
for plasma sterilization and then packed as mentioned above.
The probe can be packed in a simple or double packing.
Please note that the size of a sterile barrier should be large
enough to be able to pack the equipment leaving sufficient space
to seal it completely.
A sterile barrier should be sealed by an appropriate sealing
machine and it is important to confirm that the package is sealed
completely. If the sealing is not complete, pack and reseal again.
5.7 Sterilization
The probe and accessory can be sterilized using either ethylen
oxide gas (EtO) sterilization or plasma sterilization (see table
in the next page).
