10.4.5.4 Disinfection by means of the RIC-Holder
Especially for Real-time 4D endocavity probes (RIC), it is necessary to take extreme care when transporting
the system with the probe attached, or during the disinfection process. Inadequate handling may lead to
dead elements, shocked head mechanics, etc.
The RIC-Holder (especially developed for RIC Real-time 4D endocavity probes) guarantees that the
sensitive probe head does not hit the bottom of the container during the disinfection procedure.
Instructions are supplied with each RIC-Holder (KTZ225469).
