Endocavitary Probe Disinfection

JEFFERSON

Clean endocavitary probes are stored in room 29R (across from the trauma bay)

  • After using any of the endocavitary probes, wipe it off with a sani wipe
  • Once it has dried, place the probe end in a lab specimen bag
  • The used probe should then be placed in the scope cabinet that is in the soiled utility room across from the trauma bay
  • During business hours, notify Joe Curcio (5-4302) who will arrange for the probe to be disinfected and returned to room 29R
  • Otherwise, each morning, used probes will be taken up to the radiology ultrasound department for high level disinfection
