Section A2: Important Warnings, Labels And Symbols - Nanosonics trophon EPR Manual De Usuario

Intended Use:
 The sole purpose of the trophon EPR is to high level disinfect validated ultrasound
probes (see section B2.1) according to the specified processes outlined in this manual.
It is not intended for any other use. Do NOT use this device for any application other
than its expressed purpose.
 The trophon EPR together with the NanoNebulant is a high-level instrument grade
disinfectant system.
 The trophon EPR is NOT intended to reprocess single use devices
 The trophon EPR is NOT intended to pre-clean ultrasound probes
 The cable management system is an accessory designed for use with the trophon EPR
(see section A4.2)
 Chemical Indicator use is required with every disinfection cycle. More information can
be found in the Chemical Indicator Instructions for use, provided with the Chemical
Indicator.
 The trophon Printer, trophon Connect, trophon Wall Mount and the trophon Cart are
accessories designed for use with the trophon EPR; contact your customer service
representative or visit the Nanosonics website for additional information. Refer to Part D
for information on the trophon Printer.
Disinfection Process:
At the beginning of the cycle, the trophon EPR creates an aerosol of concentrated
hydrogen peroxide. This is quickly and evenly distributed over the surface of the probe,
including very small crevices. This process provides thorough, high level disinfection of the
shaft and the handle of the probe. The device breaks down the hydrogen peroxide into
small amounts of water and oxygen and safely vents them into the external environment.
Notes:
1) NanoNebulant is the product name of the trophon Disinfectant.
2) The contact conditions are fixed cycle parameters that are not able to be modified by the
end user.

SECTION A2: IMPORTANT WARNINGS, LABELS and SYMBOLS

Failure to read the following sections may result in damage to the trophon EPR, disinfectant
cartridges or other equipment, or cause serious injury to the operator or other persons. If the
device is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by
the device may be impaired.
A2.1 Warnings
Hot Temperatures
 Risk of burns from the hot surfaces in the internal chamber. Do NOT touch these
surfaces. A hot surface symbol is located inside the trophon EPR chamber as a
reminder.
 Failure to correctly load the probe into the chamber may result in damage to the
probe. Probe must NOT come into contact with the chamber wall. Refer to section
B2.3 for correct positioning of probe.
