Disinfectants Compatibility Table
The table that follows lists the disinfectants compatible with the transducers
available for your system.
Other low- and intermediate-level disinfectants marketed for use on medical
instruments and based on quaternary ammonium compounds (QUATS) or
sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), equal to or less than 0.6%, are approved for use.
NOTE
A 10% bleach solution typically provides a solution that is less than 0.6% NaOCl.
Additionally, products that contain 70% or less isopropyl alcohol (IPA) are
acceptable for use on the transducer portion of the device only. (Do not use
alcohol-based products on transducer cables and strain reliefs.)
Those disinfectant types must be used only in a spray or wipe application.
CAUTION
The preceding recommendations do not apply to TEE transducers.
