Cleaning and Disinfecting Transducers
This section contains instructions on how to clean the transducer. This includes the transducer scanhead,
cable, and connector.
Note: For information about compatible cleaners, compatible disinfectants, and
recommended soak times, refer to List of Compatible Cleaners and Disinfectants
on page 446.
Before You Begin

If they are connected, remove the Vevo Fiber Jacket and Vevo Optical Fiber from the transducer.
l
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) recommended by the cleaning product
l
manufacturer, such as eyewear and gloves.
Precautions
Only use approved cleaners and disinfectants at their recommended solution strengths. Using other
l
products or incorrect solution strengths may damage the system and void the warranty. For more
information, refer to List of Compatible Cleaners and Disinfectants on page 446.
Wipe from clean areas to soiled areas to avoid cross-contamination.
l
If using a solution instead of a wipe, apply the solution to a cloth and wipe with the cloth instead of
l
spraying the solution directly on the system.
Do not wipe the transducer connector.

To Clean and Disinfect the Transducer
1. Using an approved cleaner, wipe the transducer cable and transducer body to remove any visible
gel, debris or fluids.
Use a downward wiping motion that starts from the transducer connector and towards the scanhead.
2. Verify that the transducer is clean. If necessary, repeat the previous step with a new wipe.
3. Submerge the scanhead (not the connector) into a pool of approved disinfectant solution.
