Catheter Cleaning and High Level Disinfection Instructions
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the use of a probe cover or condom to reduce the level of microbial contamination
when a probe cover is available[1]. It is also recommended that all catheters and probes require cleaning and high level disinfection to be
performed after each use or as otherwise permissible by region/country/institution guidelines and/or standards where the product is being
used.

Instructions
• Ensure the entire sensing portion of the
probe is submerged in detergent.
• Soak probe as per the detergent instructions.
Less than 113° F /

• Thoroughly rinse external surfaces using a
continuous flow of water.
Adhere to HLD
Instructions
• Ensure the entire sensing portion of the
probe is submerged in HLD solution.
• Soak probe as per the HLD instructions.
Less than 113° F /
45° C
• Thoroughly rinse external surfaces using a
continuous flow of water.
• Visually inspect catheter to ensure moisture
is not present before storing.
• The probe may be lightly padded dry avoiding
direct pressure to the sensors.
• Do not dry using excessive gripping,
bending, or pulling in the sensor area.
• Store dry catheter in protective case.

CATHETER CARE PRECAUTIONS:
1. Given Imaging DOES NOT perform disinfection of gastrointestinal probes prior to shipment. Proper disinfection of a probe is the
responsibility of the clinician prior to conducting the procedure. The following recommendations are intended to aid in the cleaning or
disinfection of a Given Imaging catheter without causing damage.
2. DO NOT ultrasonically clean or other agitation, autoclave, use ionizing radiation, or use products containing glycerin while washing,
cleaning, or disinfecting. This can permanently damage probes.
3. DO NOT clean the probes with strongly-alkaline cleaning agents such as Parson’s soap or strongly-oxidizing agents such as peracetic
acid or hydrogen peroxide. Disinfectants such as Endo-Spor, Sporox and the Steris Washer use hydrogen peroxide as a primary agent in
their formulation and will damage the probe.
4. DO NOT use synthetic detergents or petroleum-based soaps as these may be absorbed by the silicone and subsequently leach out
during prolonged use.
5. DO NOT use silicone fluid or grease to lubricate the passage of the probe through the nares (nostril) or anus as these materials may
swell and weaken the tubing and consequently compromise the integrity of the outer section of the probe. Water-based lubricants are
acceptable for use.
6. DO NOT immerse the probe beyond the “Do Not Immerse” demarcation line near the proximal end of the probe (the end with the
electrical connectors and vent orifice). This can permanently damage probes.
7. DO NOT pull on the outer sleeve of the catheter probe while cleaning. This can cause bunching of the outer sleeve and potentially
damage the probe.
8. DO inspect for tears or damage in the exterior of the catheter. The inspection should be done before immersion of the catheter in
reprocessing solutions to minimize further damage of the catheter to parts not designed for fluid exposure.
9. DO reference the ManoScan User Manual for additional information for catheter care precautions.
10.DO reference the ManoShield® Instructions for Use.
11. The ruled tubing and “Y” connector section of the probe may be cleaned with an antiseptic towelette or germicidal disposable Cloth.
Adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines when using antiseptic or germicidal towelette or cloth. Given Imaging recommends the
following cleaning cloths and/or towelettes:
Benzalkonium antiseptic (BZK) towelettes
PDI, Sani-Cloth® Plus, germicidal disposable cloth
PDI, Super Sani-Cloth® Plus, germicidal Wipes
Accel PREVention™ surface disinfectant (applied to sterile wipe, cloth, or gauze)
