reduction in pathogens should be reached by following the disinfection procedures in this

Manual and using the following Samsung Medison recommended solutions. The disinfection method

applies to the vaginal and rectal probes only.

WARNING:

X

If a pre-mixed solution is used, be sure to observe the solution expiration date.

X

The type of tissue it will contact during use dictates the level of disinfection required for

a device. Ensure that the solution strength and duration of contact are appropriate for

disinfection.

CAUTION:

X

Using a non-recommended disinfectant or not following the recommended disinfection

method can damage and/or discolor the probe. This could also void the probe warranty.

X

Do not immerse probes for longer than one hour, unless they are sterilizable.

X

Only use liquid solutions to sterilize probes. Avoid using autoclave, gas (EtO), or other non-

Samsung Medison-approved methods.

1. Follow the instructions on the disinfectant label for storage, use and disposal of the disinfectant.

2. Mix the disinfectant compatible with your probe according to the instructions for solution strength

provided on its label.

3. Immerse the probe into the disinfectant as shown in the illustration below.

4. Using the instructions on the disinfectant, rinse the probe after the immersion process is complete.

5. Air dry the probe or towel it dry with a clean cloth.
