Cleaning and disinfecting
When preparing, using, and disposing of chemicals, be sure to follow manufacturer recommendations and local regulations. WARNINGS Cautions
Residual chemicals from some disinfectants can cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning label instructions for solution strengths and disinfectant contact duration. Check the expiration date on all cleaning and disinfection solutions and wipes. Do not use chemicals or wipes that have expired. Do not allow cleaning solution or disinfectant into the battery compartment, system controls, or transducer connector. Do not use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzene, or abrasive cleansers since these will damage the exterior surfaces. Use only FUJIFILM SonoSite recommended cleaners or disinfectants. Use only a soft cloth lightly dampened in a mild soap or compatible cleaning solution to remove any disinfectant on metal surfaces.
Cleaning and disinfecting the system and protective case The following procedures can be used to clean and disinfect the system and protective case. Caution
Do not immerse the system or the protective case in any liquid.
To clean the system and protective case 1 Make sure the system is turned off. 2 Disconnect the transducer. 3 Remove the system from the protective case. 4 Using a soft, damp cloth (dampened with cleaner or disinfectant) or a premoistened disinfectant wipe, clean any particulate matter or bodily fluids from all system and protective case surfaces. Be sure to use only cleaners listed in Table 2-2, “Compatible cleaners and disinfectants”on page 7. Wipe from clean areas to the soiled areas to avoid cross-contamination. WARNINGS
Cleaning and disinfecting
Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as eyewear and gloves, recommended by the chemical manufacturer.
5
Cautions
Do not spray cleaners or disinfectants directly on the system surfaces. Doing so may cause solution to leak into the system, damaging it and voiding the warranty. Do not allow moisture to get on the transducer connector or into the connector ports on the system. Do not scratch the display screen.
5 Verify that all gel, particulate matter, and bodily fluids have been removed. Note
Repeat steps 4-5 with new cleaning materials, if necessary.
To disinfect the system and protective case 1 Wipe all surfaces with a premoistened wipe or a cloth moistened with a compatible disinfectant listed in Table 2-2, “Compatible cleaners and disinfectants”on page 7. Apply the disinfectant solution to the cloth rather than applying it directly to surfaces. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s requirements for wet contact time. Caution
Use only FUJIFILM SonoSite recommended disinfectants. Using a nonrecommended disinfect solution or incorrect solution strength can damage or discolor the transducer and void the transducer warranty.
2 Allow the system to air dry following the chemical manufacturer’s requirements for wet contact time.
Cleaning and disinfecting the transducer Cleaning and disinfecting the transducer requires that you chose the proper cleaning and disinfecting level.
Determining the required cleaning and disinfection level Before cleaning, visually inspect the ultrasound system to determine that it is free of any unacceptable deterioration, such as corrosion, discoloration, pitting, or cracked seals. If damage is evident, discontinue use, and contact FUJIFILM SonoSite or your local representative. Spaulding classifications are a tool to help reduce cross-contamination and infection by specifying the level of cleaning and disinfecting required for your medical equipment. The Spaulding classification is based on the type of device, its usage, and the risk of infection. Based on these criteria, the iViz ultrasound system is classified as either non-critical or semi-critical, depending on how it is used.
6
Determining the required cleaning and disinfection level
Each Spaulding classification mandates a specific level of cleaning and disinfection of the equipment before it can be used in the next exam. Use the following guide to determine the level of cleaning and disinfection for the iViz ultrasound system according to the appropriate Spaulding classification.
Table 2-1: Cleaning and disinfection guidelines If any part of the system came into contact with...
Then disinfect to the following level
Unbroken skin, no blood or bodily fluids (noncritical)
“Level A: Intermediate-level disinfection (noncritical)” on page 7
Broken skin, mucosal membranes, blood, and/or bodily fluids (semi-critical)
“Level B: High-level disinfection (semi-critical)” on page 10
Level A: Intermediate-level disinfection (non-critical) Clean and disinfect the system and protective case immediately after use. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using cleaners and disinfectants. See “Cleaning and disinfecting the system and protective case” on page 5. For non-critical disinfection, clean the transducer as described in “To clean the transducer” on page 8, and then disinfect it as described in “To disinfect the transducer” on page 9. If the transducer has come into contact with broken skin, mucosal membranes, or blood, you must then do a high-level disinfection; see “Level B: High-level disinfection (semi-critical)” on page 10. The materials listed in Table 2-2, “Compatible cleaners and disinfectants”on page 7 are chemically compatible with the system and transducers. Confirm that the cleaners and disinfectants are appropriate for your facility’s use.
