Cleaning Using a Solution

  1. Prepare a basin with enzymatic cleaner per the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Immerse probe in the cleaning solution and ensure no air bubbles are trapped.
  3. Use a soft nylon bristle brush to clean the probe. Do Not use the brush on the probe lenses as this can damage the soft acoustic lens.
  4. Ensure the probe remains in the cleaning solution for the minimum contact time listed on the enzymatic cleaner label. Make sure to follow manufacturers’ recommendations.
  5. Visually inspect the probe and probe components for soil. Repeat steps 4 - 6 until all visible soil has been removed from the surface of the probe.
  6. Thoroughly rinse the probe to remove traces of the cleaner solution. Follow the cleaner manufacturers’ instructions.
  7. Visually inspect the device in a well-lit area to ensure all surfaces are free from residual cleaning solution. Repeat Step 6 if visible cleaning solution is observed.
  8. Thoroughly pat dry the probe using a clean low-lint soft, dry disposable cloth or wipe. Do not use abrasive paper products
