GUS Disinfection Soak Station™
Principle of Operation
The GUS System allows Ultrasound Probes and/or Scopes to be immersed in a high-level disinfectant
solution. The Probe and/or Scope is suspended in the soaking container, preventing damage to the
sensitive tip.
The system is designed to remove fumes from:
• Glutaraldehyde,
• Ortho-phthaldehyde (OPA),
• Hydrogen Peroxide,
• Peracetic Acid.
For the use of alternative high level disinfectants, please contact your local representative.
One of the containers is used for clean rinse water. This ensures that when the Probe or Scope is
removed from the unit for the final rinse, no high-level disinfectant will drip or off-gas.
The unit’s blower and carbon-filtration system removes fumes from high-level disinfectant solutions.
Blowers draw the fumes through the carbon filter where they are effectively neutralized and clean air
is returned to the room. No ductwork or external venting is required. The G10 series has two
blowers; the G14 series has three blowers.

straight before inserting. Use a fluid motion when inserting the probe to prevent it
from sticking in the tube.
