Probe Cleaning and Disinfection Instructions

Probe Safety

WARNING

Hazard

CAUTION

Ultrasound probes are highly sensitive medical instruments that can easily be damaged by improper handling. Use care when handling and protect from damage when not in use. DO NOT use a damaged or defective probe. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury and equipment damage.

Ultrasound transducers can easily be damaged by improper handling and by contact with certain chemicals. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury and equipment damage.

• Do not immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level specified for that probe. Never immerse the transducer connector or probe adapters into any liquid.

• Avoid mechanical shock or impact to the transducer and do not apply excessive bending or pulling force to the cable.

• Transducer damage can result from contact with inappropriate coupling or cleaning agents:

• Do not soak or saturate transducers with solutions containing alcohol, bleach, ammonium chloride compounds or hydrogen peroxide

• Avoid contact with solutions or coupling gels containing mineral oil or lanolin

• Avoid temperatures above 60°C.

• Inspect the probe prior to use for damage or degeneration to the housing, strain relief, lens and seal. Do not use a damaged or defective probe.

Adequate cleaning and disinfection are necessary to prevent disease transmission. It is the responsibility of the equipment user to verify and maintain the effectiveness of the infection control procedures in use. Always use sterile, legally marketed probe sheaths for intra-cavitary and intra-operative procedures.

For neurological intra-operative procedures, use of a legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheath is REQUIRED. Probes for neuro surgical use must not be sterilized with liquid chemical sterilants because of the possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the probe.

A defective probe or excessive force can cause patient injury or probe damage:

• Observe depth markings and do not apply excessive force when inserting or manipulating intercavity probes.

• Inspect probes for sharp edges or rough surfaces that could injure sensitive tissue.

In order for liquid chemical germicides to be effective, all visible residue must be removed during the cleaning process. Thoroughly clean the probe, as described on the following page before attempting disinfection.

Electrical

Hazard

Using Probes

CREUTZFIELD-JACOB DISEASE Neurological use on patients with this disease must be avoided. If a probe becomes contaminated, there is no adequate disinfecting means.

The probe is driven with electrical energy that can injure the patient or user if live internal parts are contacted by conductive solution:

• DO NOT immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level indicated by the immersion level diagram. Never immerse the probe connector or probe adaptors into any liquid.

• DO NOT drop the probes or subject them to other types of mechanical shock or impact. Degraded performance or damage such as cracks or chips in the housing may result.

• Inspect the probe before and after each use for damage or degradation to the housing, strain relief, lens, and seal. A thorough inspection should be conducted during the cleaning process.

• DO NOT kink, tightly coil, or apply excessive force on the probe cable. Insulation failure may result.

• Electrical leakage checks should be performed on a routine basis by GE Service or qualified hospital personnel. Refer to the service manual for leakage check procedures.

LOGIQ 7 Quick Guide Direction 2291859-100 Rev. 1 16

Probe Cleaning, After Each Use

1. Disconnect probe from ultrasound console and remove all coupling gel from probe by wiping with a soft cloth and rinsing with flowing water.

2. Wash the probe with mild soap in lukewarm water. Scrub the probe as needed using a soft sponge, gauze, or cloth to remove all visible residue from the probe surface. Prolonged soaking or scrubbing with a soft bristle brush (such as a toothbrush) may be necessary if material has dried onto the probe surface.

3. Rinse the probe with enough clean potable water to remove all visible soap residue.

4. Air dry or dry with a soft cloth.

Probe Disinfection, After Each Use

1. Prepare the germicide solution according to the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to follow all precautions for storage, use and disposal.

2. Place the cleaned and dried probe in contact with the germicide for the time specified by the germicide manufacturer. High-level disinfection is recommended for surface probes and is required for endocavitary and intraoperative probes (follow the germicide manufacturer's recommended time).

Probes for neuro surgical intra-operative use must NOT be sterilized with liquid chemical sterilants because of the possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the probe. Neurological procedures must be done with the use of legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheaths.

3. After removing from the germicide, rinse the probe following the germicide manufacturer's rinsing instructions. Flush all visible germicide residue from the probe and allow to air dry.

Important Safety Considerations

The following topic headings (Patient Safety, and Equipment and Personnel Safety) are intended to make the equipment user aware of particular hazards associated with the use of this equipment and the extent to which injury can occur if precautions are not observed. Additional precautions may be provided throughout the manual.

CAUTION

Improper use can result in serious injury. The user must be thoroughly familiar with the instructions and potential hazards involving ultrasound examination before attempting to use the device. Training assistance is available from GE Medical Systems if needed.

The equipment user is obligated to be familiar with these concerns and avoid conditions that could result in injury.

Patient identification

Always include proper identification with all patient data and verify the accuracy of the patient's name or ID numbers when entering such data. Make sure correct patient ID is provided on all recorded data and hard copy prints. Identification errors could result in an incorrect diagnosis.

Diagnostic information

Equipment malfunction or incorrect settings can result in measurement errors or failure to detect details within the image. The equipment user must become thoroughly familiar with the equipment operation in order to optimize its performance and recognize possible malfunctions. Applications training is available through the local GE representative. Added confidence in the equipment operation can be gained by establishing a quality assurance program.

The concerns listed can seriously affect the safety of patients undergoing a diagnostic ultrasound examination.

CAUTION

Safety

The system’s acoustic output remains transmitting when the user controls are being used. Allowing the system to transmit acoustic output with the probe not in use (or in its holder) can cause the probe to build up heat. Always turn off acoustic output or freeze the image when not in use.

LOGIQ 7 Quick Guide Direction 2291859-100 Rev. 1 34

Related Hazards (continued)

Mechanical hazards

The use of damaged probes or improper use and manipulation of intracavity probes can result in injury or increased risk of infection. Inspect probes often for sharp, pointed, or rough surface damage that could cause injury or tear protective barriers. Never use excessive force when manipulating intracavity probes. Become familiar with all instructions and precautions provided with special purpose probes.

Electrical

Hazard

CAUTION

Training

It is recommended that all users receive proper training in applications before performing them in a clinical setting. Please contact the local GE representative for training assistance.

ALARA training is provided by GE Application Specialists. The ALARA education program for the clinical end-user covers basic ultrasound principles, possible biological effects, the derivation and meaning of the indices, ALARA principles, and examples of specific applications of the ALARA principle.

A damaged probe can also increase the risk of electric shock if conductive solutions come in contact with internal live parts. Inspect probes often for cracks or openings in the housing and holes in and around the acoustic lens or other damage that could allow liquid entry. Become familiar with the probe's use and care precautions outlined in Probes and Biopsy.

Ultrasound transducers are sensitive instruments which can easily be damaged by rough handling. Take extra care not to drop transducers and avoid contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces. A damaged housing, lens or cable can result in patient injury or serious impairment or operation.

Ultrasound can produce harmful effects in tissue and potentially result in patient injury. Always minimize exposure time and keep ultrasound levels low when there is no medical benefit. Use the principle of ALARA (A only when needed to obtain diagnostic image quality. Observe the acoustic output display and be familiar with all controls affecting the output level. See the Bioeffects section of the Acoustic Output chapter in the Advanced Reference Manual for more information.

Acoustic Output

Located on the upper right section of the system display monitor, the acoustic output display provides the operator with real-time indication of acoustic levels being generated by the system. See the Acoustic Output chapter in the Advanced Reference Manual for more information. This display is based on NEMA/AIUM Standards for Real-time Display of Thermal and Mechanic Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment.

Acoustic Output Display Specifications

The display consists of three parts: Thermal Index (TI), Mechanical Index (MI), and a relative Acoustic Output (AO) value. Although not part of the NEMA/AIUM standard, the AO value informs the user of where the system is operating within the range of available output. Depending on the examination and type of tissue involved, the TI parameter will be one of three types:

• Soft Tissue Thermal Index (TIS). Used when imaging soft tissue only, it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in soft tissue.

• Bone Thermal Index (TIB). Used when bone is near the focus of the image as in the third trimester OB examination, it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in the bone or adjacent soft tissue.

• Cranial Bone Thermal Index (TIC). Used when bone is near the skin surface as in transcranial examination, it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in the bone or adjacent soft tissue.

The TI and MI is displayed at all times. The MI and TI displays start at a value of 0.0 and increments in steps of 0.1. Display precision is ± 0.1, and accuracy is ± 50%.

Controls Affecting Output

The potential for producing mechanical bioeffects (MI) or thermal bioeffects (TI) can be influenced by certain controls.

The Acoustic Output control has the most significant effect on Acoustic Output.

Indirect effects may occur when adjusting other controls. Controls that can influence MI and TI are detailed under the Bioeffects portion of each control in the Modes chapter of the Basic User Manual.

Always observe the acoustic output display for possible effects.

Safety

LOGIQ 7 Quick Guide Direction 2291859-100 Rev. 1 50

HINTS

Best practices while scanning

Raise the Acoustic Output only after attempting image optimization with controls that have no effect on Acoustic Output, such as Gain and TGC.

NOTE: Refer to the Optimization sections of the Modes chapter for a complete discussion of each control.

WARNIN

coustic Output Hazard

Be sure to have read and understood control explanations for each Mode used before attempting to adjust the Acoustic Output control or any control that can effect Acoustic Output.

Use the minimum necessary acoustic output to get the best diagnostic image or measurement during an examination. Begin the exam with the probe that provides an optimum focal depth and penetration.

Acoustic Output Default Levels

In order to assure that an exam may not start at a high output level, the LOGIQ 7 may initiate scanning at a reduced default output level. This reduced level is preset programmable and depends upon the exam category and probe selected. It takes effect when the system is powered on or New Patient is selected.
