Even when careful attention is given to the rest of your ultrasound probe cleaning and disinfection process (bedside clean, pre-clean, high-level disinfection, storage), a non-compliant daily transport process leaves the possibility of recontamination and the integrity of your entire workflow is at stake. It is required for ultrasound probes to

The use of non-approved cleaning and disinfectant agents and/or methods may cause damage to the system surfaces, components, and diagnostic performance. Refer to the Cleaning and Disinfecting the Ultrasound System Quick Reference Guide; a consolidated view of Siemens Healthineers ultrasound systems and their approved disinfection methods. ^{Keep disinfected probes away from dirty probes to avoid cross-contamination. Do not use the transducer shipping case for storage. Per Philips' guidelines, do not bend the flexible shaft of a TEE probe into a circle with a diameter of less than 0.30 m (1 ft). Avoid storing transducers in direct sunlight or in areas of extreme temperatures.} ^{Mar 6, 2019 · An important element of ultrasound probe care is cleaning and disinfecting. Depending on the probe and how it’s being used, you will use low-level and high-level disinfecting. Generally, standard surface transducers are cleaned or low-level disinfected after each study. Any transducer inserted into a patient in any manner should be high-level}

Comment: The Philips X7-2t transesophogeal probe is a marvel of engineering, with about 2500 elements in a matrix array that can produce real-time 3D (also known as 4D) images of a beating heart on the iE33 ultrasound system. The X7-2t TEE probes cost $70,000 new in the United States. It is always important with TEE probes to follow the

transducers. The cost of a new TEE probe generally ranges from $36,000 to $50,000, depending on the type of TEE probe; with the higher amount being the newer 2D Matrix Arrays such as the Philips X7-2t or the GE 6Tv-D. When a TEE probe fails the cost of an exchange from the

(or managers) being unfamiliar with best practices for transducer reprocessing – that is, the proper use, handling, cleaning, sterilization or disinfection, transport, and storage of transducers (hereinafter referred to as “reprocessing”) used in diagnostic medical sonography. Additionally, there may be a Live 3D imaging with xMATRIX transesophageal transducers. Philips xMATRIX performance becomes even more powerful with the X8-2t Live 3D transesophageal transducer. Its acoustic design provides higher frequencies and bandwidth providing increased resolution and tissue filling in 2D and Live 3D. See cardiac structure and function in real-time for non‐TEE transducers, the only parts that may be cleaned with alcohol are the connector housing and the transducer housing and lens. On TEE transducers, the only parts that may be cleaned with alcohol are the connector housing and the control housing. Ensure that the solution is only 91% or less isopropyl alcohol or 85% or less denatured ethyl Transducer and System Care and Cleaning 4535 617 39631 5 Philips Healthcare Transducer Care Overview Transducers require proper care, cleaning, and handling.
