Liquinox和Tergazyme用于B超探頭的清洗

B超在醫療檢測中扮演非常重要的角色，B超的探頭需要徹底清洗

對于超聲波探頭和蓋子的一般清潔，我們建議使用Liquinox?關(guān)鍵清潔液體洗滌劑。使用1-2%（1.25-2.5盎司/加侖或10-20毫升/升）的熱Liquinox溶液，用清水徹底沖洗，并徹底干燥。

對于內部超聲波探頭，或與血液、組織、粘液和其他蛋白質(zhì)殘留物接觸的探頭，我們強烈推薦Tergazyme?酶活性粉狀洗滌劑。如前所述，這將提供最強大的清潔和去除有機和蛋白質(zhì)為基礎的殘留物，以確保消毒可以繼續進(jìn)行。Tergazyme清潔劑的1-3%溫水溶液和漂洗液將提供徹底清潔的表面。

這兩種清潔劑在醫療保健和醫療器械行業(yè)已經(jīng)使用了幾十年，用于可靠的清潔?，F在比以往任何時(shí)候都更重要的是對設備和儀器進(jìn)行適當的清潔。我們很高興扮演我們的角色。

Q. I’m looking for appropriate cleaning solutions and recommendations for ultrasound probes.  We have several types at our facility.

A. 

equipment is used in applications ranging from pregnancy and blood flow to internal uses including transrectal and transesophageal echocardiograms.  Because ultrasound probes and probe covers come in direct contact with human tissue both internal and externally, thorough cleaning and disinfection is absolutely vital.  We have long stressed cleaning prior to disinfection as indicated by the CDC, however, the American Institute for Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) also states that “adequate transducer preparation is mandatory.”  That preparation is thorough cleaning so the surface can be thoroughly disinfected by a registered EPA disinfectant.

For general cleaning of ultrasound probes and covers we recommend Liquinox? Critical Cleaning Liquid Detergent.  A procedure of warm 1-2% (1.25 – 2.5 oz/gal, or 10 -20 mL/L) Liquinox solution, a thorough rinse with clean water, and thorough drying is a tried and trusted procedure.

For internal ultrasound probes, or those that are come into contact with blood, tissue, mucous and other proteinaceous residues, we most highly recommend Tergazyme? Enzyme-Active Powdered Detergent.  As noted previously, this will provide the most robust cleaning and removal of organic and protein-based residues to ensure disinfection can proceed.  A warm 1-3% solution of Tergazyme detergent and rinse will provide a thoroughly cleaned surface.

Both of these detergents have been used for decades in healthcare and medical device industries for reliable cleaning.  It is now more important than ever to have devices and instruments properly cleaned.  We’re glad to play our part.
