Cleaning: Probes must be cleaned to remove contaminating substances and dried prior to sterilization. After each use, perform initial cleaning within the sterile field by wiping the probe free of blood and body fluids. Then, pass the probe out of the field. Disconnect the probe from the Doppler unit & any probe adaptor, clean the probe tip and housing thoroughly with water. DO NOT SOAK. Complete preparation for sterilization in accordance to hospital procedure using an approved probe cleaning agent.

Sterilization: In accordance to TSO₃ 125L Ozone Sterilization procedure

Warning: Do not sterilize the Doppler probes listed above by steam autoclaving. Steam sterilization is likely to damage the plastic probe tip and the piezoelectric crystals. Utilize Koven/Hadeco probe number ACP-8 for steam autoclaving.

Outgassing: No outgassing time is prescribed for Ozone sterilization.

Contraindications:Hospital policy and procedure(s) takes precedence over this protocol.

Failure to use approved cleaning & sterilization procedures may void the warranty
