Disinfecting the probe
After cleaning, the probe and cable may be wiped with a tissue
sprayed with a recommended germicide.
In order to provide users with options in choosing a germicide,
GE routinely reviews new medical germicides for compatibility
with the materials used in the transducer housing, cable and
lens. Although a necessary step in protecting patients and
employees from disease transmission, liquid chemical
germicides must also be selected to minimize potential damage
to the probe.
