Chapter 9 Probes

Probe Safety Precautions

CAUTION:

X

Do not apply mechanical shock to the probe.

X

Do not place the probe cable on the floor where the cable can be run over by equipment

wheels, etc. Do not apply excessive force to bend or pull the cable.

X

Do not immerse the probe into any inappropriate substances such as alcohol, bleach,

ammonium chloride, and hydrogen peroxide.

X

Do not expose the probe to temperatures of +50°C or higher.

The probe can be easily damaged by improper use or by coming into contact with certain chemical

substances. Always follow the instructions in the operation manual to inspect the probe cable, case, and

lens before and after each use.

Check the probe for cracks, broken parts, leaks and sharp edges. If there is any damage, stop using the

probe immediately and contact the Samsung Medison customer support department. Using damaged

probes may result in electric shocks and other hazards to the patients and/or users.

 Use and Infection Control of the Probe

WARNING: No neurosurgical treatments or examinations should be carried out on a patient with

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (a deadly brain disease caused by a virus). If the probe has been used on

such a patient, it cannot be sterilized by any method whatsoever.

CAUTION: Sufficient washing and disinfecting must be carried out in order to prevent infection.

This is the responsibility of the user who manages and maintains the disinfection procedures for the

equipment. Always use legally approved detergents.

Probes used for the ultrasound imaging system use ultrasound, and make direct contact with the

patient when in use. Depending on the types of examinations, such contact can be made to a wide

variety of locations, including the ordinary skin or the location of blood transfusion during a surgical

procedure.

The most eective way to prevent iatrogenic infection among patients is to discard a probe once it

has been used. This is not practical, however, as probes are expensive, hard-to-manufacture devices

and have to be reused. Consequently, the safety instructions must be followed carefully in order to

minimize the risk of infection among patients.
