Care and Maintenance Inspecting probes Perform After Each UseInspect the probes lens, cable, and casing. Look for any damage that would allow liquid to enter the probe. If any damage is found, do not use the probe until it has been inspected and repaired/replaced by a GE Service Representative. NOTE: Keep a log of all probe maintenance, along with a picture of any probe malfunction. Environmental Requirements Probes should be operated, stored, or transported within the parameters outlined below. CAUTIONEnsure that the probe face temperature does not exceed the normal operation temperature range.

Probes and Biopsy 17-12 LOGIQ 5 Basic User Manual Direction 2300002-100 Rev. 2 Probe Safety Handling precautions Electrical shock hazard Mechanical hazards WARNINGUltrasound probes are highly sensitive medical instruments that can easily be damaged by improper handling. Use care when handling and protect from damage when not in use. DO NOT use a damaged or defective probe. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury and equipment damage. Electical HazardThe probe is driven with electrical energy that can injure the patient or user if live internal parts are contacted by conductive solution: • DO NOT immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level indicated by the immersion level diagram. Refer to Figure 17-6. Never immerse the probe connector or probe adaptors into any liquid. • DO NOT drop the probes or subject them to other types of mechanical shock or impact. Degraded performance or damage such as cracks or chips in the housing may result. • Inspect the probe before and after each use for damage or degradation to the housing, strain relief, lens, and seal. A thorough inspection should be conducted during the cleaning process. • DO NOT kink, tightly coil, or apply excessive force on the probe cable. Insulation failure may result. • Electrical leakage checks should be performed on a routine basis by GE Service or qualified hospital personnel. Refer to the service manual for leakage check procedures. CAUTIONA defective probe or excessive force can cause patient injury or probe damage: • Observe depth markings and do not apply excessive force when inserting or manipulating intercavitary probes. • Inspect probes for sharp edges or rough surfaces that could injure sensitive tissue.
Probe Overview LOGIQ 5 Basic User Manual 17-13 Direction 2300002-100 Rev. 2 Special handling instructions Using protective sheaths Instructions. Custom made sheaths are available for each probe. Each probe sheath kit consists of a flexible sheath used to cover the probe and cable and elastic bands used to secure the sheath. Sterile probe sheaths are supplied as part of biopsy kits for those probes intended for use in biopsy procedures. In addition to the sheath and elastic bands, there are associated accessories for performing a biopsy procedure which are included in the kit. Refer to the biopsy instructions for the specific probes in the Discussion section of this chapter for further information. Reordering. To reorder sheaths, See ‘Ultrasound Probe and Cord Sheath Sets’ for more information. CAUTIONProtective barriers may be required to minimize disease transmission. Probe sheaths are available for use with all clinical situations where infection is a concern. Use of legally marketed, sterile probe sheaths is strongly recommended for intra-cavitary and intra-operative procedures. Use of legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheaths is REQUIRED for neurological intra-operative procedures. CAUTIONDevices containing latex may cause severe allergic reaction in latex sensitive individuals. Refer to FDAs March 29, 1991 Medical Alert on latex products. CAUTIONDo not use pre-lubricated condoms as a sheath. In some cases, they may damage the probe. Lubricants in these condoms may not be compatible with probe construction. CAUTIONDO NOT use an expired probe sheath. Before using probe sheaths, verify whether the term of validity has expired.
Probes and Biopsy 17-14 LOGIQ 5 Basic User Manual Direction 2300002-100 Rev. 2 E8C Probe Handling Precautions If the sterilization solution comes out of the E8C probe, please follow the cautions below. CAUTIONSterilant Exposure to Patient (e.g., Cidex)—Contact with a sterilant to the patient’s skin or mucous membrane may cause an inflammation. If this happens, refer to the sterilant’s instruction manual. Sterilant Exposure from Probe Handle to Patient (e.g., Cidex)—DO NOT allow the sterilant to contact the patient. Only immerse the probe to its specified level. Ensure that no solution has entered the probe’s handle before scanning the patient. If sterilant comes into contact with the patient, refer the the sterilant’s instruction manual. Sterilant Exposure from Probe Connector to Patient (e.g., Cidex)—DO NOT allow the sterilant to contact the patient. Only immerse the probe to its specified level. Ensure that no solution has entered the probe’s connector before scanning the paitent. If sterilant comes into contact with the patient, refer the the sterilant’s instruction manual. E8C Point of Contact—Refer the the sterilant’s instruction manual.
Probe Overview LOGIQ 5 Basic User Manual 17-15 Direction 2300002-100 Rev. 2 Probe handling and infection control This information is intended to increase user awareness of the risks of disease transmission associated with using this equipment and provide guidance in making decisions directly affecting the safety of the patient as well as the equipment user. Diagnostic ultrasound systems utilize ultrasound energy that must be coupled to the patient by direct physical contact. Depending on the type of examination, this contact occurs with a variety of tissues ranging from intact skin in a routine exam to recirculating blood in a surgical procedure. The level of risk of infection varies greatly with the type of contact. One of the most effective ways to prevent transmission between patients is with single use or disposable devices. However, ultrasound transducers are complex and expensive devices that must be reused between patients. It is very important, therefore, to minimize the risk of disease transmission by using barriers and through proper processing between patients. CAUTIONAdequate cleaning and disinfection are necessary to prevent disease transmission. It is the responsibility of the equipment user to verify and maintain the effectiveness of the infection control procedures in use. Always use sterile, legally marketed probe sheaths for intra-cavitary and intra-operative procedures. For neurological intra-operative procedures, use of a legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheath is REQUIRED. Probes for neuro surgical use must not be sterilized with liquid chemical sterilants because of the possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the probe.
Probes and Biopsy 17-16 LOGIQ 5 Basic User Manual Direction 2300002-100 Rev. 2 Probe Cleaning Process Cleaning probes Perform After Each UseTo clean the probe: 1. Disconnect the probe from the ultrasound console and remove all coupling gel from the probe by wiping with a soft cloth and rinsing with flowing water. 2. Wash the probe with mild soap in lukewarm water. Scrub the probe as needed using a soft sponge, gauze, or cloth to remove all visible residue from the probe surface. Prolonged soaking or scrubbing with a soft bristle brush (such as a toothbrush) may be necessary if material has dried onto the probe surface. 3. Rinse the probe with enough clean potable water to remove all visible soap residue. 4. Air dry or dry with a soft cloth.

Probes and Biopsy 17-18 LOGIQ 5 Basic User Manual Direction 2300002-100 Rev. 2 Disinfecting probes Perform After Each UseUltrasound probes can be disinfected using liquid chemical germicides. The level of disinfection is directly related to the duration of contact with the germicide. Increased contact time produces a higher level of disinfection. The following high level disinfectant agents have been approved for use with all probes: • Cidex OPA • Cidex Cidex Plus has been approved for the 8C probe. Sporox II high level disinfectant has been approved for the 7L, 10L, 12L, 4S, 8C, and E8C probes. Pera Safe high level disinfectant has been approved for the 7L, 10L, 12L, M7C, M12L, and E8C probes. The following low level disinfect agents have been approved for use with all probes: • Ster Bac Blu • Sani-Cloth HB (Wipes) T-Spray and T-Spray II low level disinfectant has been approved for the 7L, 10L, 12L, M7C, M12L, 4S, and E8C probes. Virex II 256 low level disinfectant has been approved for the 7L, 10L, 12L, M7C, M12L, and E8C probes. CAUTIONIn order for liquid chemical germicides to be effective, all visible residue must be removed during the cleaning process. Thoroughly clean the probe, as described earlier before attempting disinfection.
