3) The immersible part of the probe should be left in the
detergent solution according to the specified contact time
of the detergent manufacturer.
4) Wipe the un-immersible parts of the probe with a soft cloth
dipped with the detergent solution.
5) Rinse the probe with running tap water for 1 minute.
(alternatively: immerse the immersible part of the probe in
a tray filled with deionized water/tap water (see Fig.3) for
5 min.)
6) Visually check the outer surface of the probe for cleanness.
If necessary, use magnifying glass for visually check. If
there is still soil visible, repeat all above steps.
Manual disinfection:
1) Prepare the disinfectant solution in a tank with cold water
(please follow the instructions of the disinfectant
manufacturer regarding application, concentration,
microbiological efficiency, service life and contact time).
2) Confirm the concentration of the disinfectant before
immersing the probe. Although Cidex® OPA does not need to be
diluted, it is recommended to use test strips to verify the
concentration. The test strips can indicate whether or not
the concentration is above the Minimum Effective
Concentration (MEC). Please also note the expiration date of
the test stripes. Temperature of disinfectant solution should
be minimum 20°C. The minimum contact time is 5 minutes. If
a different disinfectant is used, follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Please also consider the material
compatibility for the medical device.
3) Immerse the immersible part of the probe into the disinfectant
(see Fig. 3). Set a clock to insure the recommended contact
time which is 5 minutes.
4) Rinse the immersible part of the probe with deionized water
for 1 minute. (alternatively: immerse the immersible part of
the probe in a tray filled with deionized water (see Fig. 3)
for 5 min.)
5) Visually check the outer surface of the probe for leavings
of the disinfectant. If necessary, repeat the rinsing.
