This section describes the methods for cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization. Cleaning and disinfection between patients must be performed to prevent transmission of disease. All transducers must be thoroughly cleaned prior to disinfection. The level of disinfection required is based on patient contact.

2.1

Cleaning <<Items to be used: Protective gloves, cleaning solution or cleaning wipes, purified water, clean soft cloth or gauze, single-use sponge*>> * The single-use sponge must not include any abrasive parts or contain any abrasive cleanser. (1) Wear protective gloves to prevent infection. Wear new protective gloves each time cleaning is performed. (2) If an accessory that can be disassembled (e.g., biopsy adaptor) is provided, disassemble it. For details concerning such parts, refer to the operation manual for the transducer. (3) Wash off all organic materials (such as blood or other bodily fluids) from the transducer under purified water. A single-use sponge can be used for washing. Do not use a brush, because it may damage the transducer. (4) In accordance with the tables and figures in section 3, immerse the transducer in a cleaning solution or wipe the transducer using wipes to dissolve or remove all remaining organic materials. Use a single-use sponge if necessary. If dried organic materials are present on the transducer, immerse it in the cleaning solution for a prolonged period. (5) Remove all residual organic materials and cleaning solution from the transducer by rinsing it under purified water. Repeat steps (3) and (4) to visually confirm that all residual organic materials and cleaning solution have been completely removed from the transducer. Do not reuse the purified water. (6) Dry the surface of the transducer using clean soft cloth or gauze. Do not use heat to dry the transducer. Handle the cleaning solution or wipes as described in the documentation provided by the relevant manufacturer. To maintain the effectiveness of the cleaning solution or wipes, ensure that the concentration, temperature, and other conditions specified in the documentation provided by the manufacturer are met. To confirm the effectiveness of the cleaning solution or wipes, use the criteria (such as effective period, number of times of use, discoloration, and results of using the effectiveness test kit) described in the documentation provided by the manufacturer. (7) Confirm that the transducer shows no signs of damage, deformation, or peeling.
