Dear All,
I am seeking some assistance with interpreting the ASUM guidelines and their requirements for US probe cleaning.
We are using the Trophon for all intracavity probes and wiping over all other probes used for routine imaging, biopsy guidance etc with a disinfectant wipe. The current wipe in use is not one of the four recommended disinfection methods referred to in their guidelines.
We use probes covers routinely for all interventional procedures or on mucous membranes, wounds etc.
Am I correct in interpreting the ASUM guidelines – that all probes regardless of cover usage must be cleaned in one of the four ways stated by ASUM. Can anyone throw some more light on this issue for me please.
We have received full Imaging reaccreditation and our current practise was not raised as an issue.
Regards
