Probe Cleaning and Disinfection Instructions

Probe Safety

WARNING

CAUTION

Electrical

Hazard

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.

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 P5/A5/A5Pro Quick Guide Direction 5137113-100 Rev. 3 19

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.

Probe Immersion Levels

1. Fluid Level

2. Aperture

3. Contact face within patient environment

Probe Disinfection Agents

Ultrasound probes can be disinfected using liquid
chemical germicides. The level of disinfection is
directly related to the duration of contact with the
germicide. Increased contact time produces a
higher level of disinfection.

Refer to the Probe Care Card.

Then, imagine that you can view the volume of
interest one slice at a time through the anatomy
(red hand).

Also imagine that you are able to pull back tissue to
view specific portions of anatomy (yellow and green
hands).

The 3D volume of interest is a tangible anatomical
object that you can see and manipulate easily using
the Trackball and Set control panel keys.

Practice positioning the pointer at different places

TIP: Orientation adjustment may be needed,
depending on the anatomy being scanned. For
example, if the fetus is in the breech position, the top
of the baby’s head is facing up. However, if the fetus
is vertex, the top of the head faces down and the
orientation needs to be flipped 180 degrees.

Use the 3D Orient button to change the orientation.

High Quality–best resolution but slower acquisition

rates.
Lower Quality–fastest acquisition speeds but less
resolution of 3D/4D image.

Lower Threshold

The higher numbers effectively make the image
brighter by taking away the low level echoes.
Typical range for OB: 10-45.

Render Modes

Rend Mode 1 & 2

• Surface Texture–better for older fetuses, more

detail.

• Surface Smooth–better for younger fetuses,

smoother rendered image.

• Transp MAX–highlights High Intensity echoes,

for fetal skeleton or echogenic structures.

• Transp MIN–highlights Low Intensity echoes, for

vascular structures or cystic areas.

• Transp X-RAY–used with colo r/power Doppler

to show vessels within the volume.

• Gradient Light–more shad ows, bette r de pth

perception.

• Light--brighter near field structures, darker far

field structures.

Mix

Combination of two Render Modes (=100%).

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 ca n influence MI a nd TI are det a iled under the Bioef fect s portion of each contro l in the Modes

chapter of the Basic User Manual.
Always observe the acoustic output display for possible effects.

Acoustic Output Default Levels

In order to assure that an exam may not start at a high output level, the LOGIQ P5/A5/A5Pro 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.
