5.
Ensure that the probe is correctly positioned in the chamber. The probe must not make contact
with the chamber wall and must be positioned at or above the embossed line at the bottom of the
chamber. See Figure 11.
6.
If the probe is disconnected from its connector end, the external portion of the cable and connector
can be secured by placing the connector carefully inside the cable tray.
NOTE: Incorrect positioning of the probe may result in:
Unsuccessful HLD cycles.
•
•
Residual disinfectant remaining on the probe's surface. This may lead to temporary bleaching or
irritation of the skin, or both, if gloves are not worn.
Uncertain probe compatibility as stated in the trophon2 and trophon EPR Compatibile Ultrasound
•
Probe list.
It is customer's responsibility to ensure the probe is correctly positioned in the chamber. Probe
compatibility with the trophon2 device and successful HLD cannot be guaranteed if probe is incorrectly
positioned in the chamber.
NOTE: Curved probes must be correctly inserted in the trophon2 device. See Figure 13.
Curved Probes
The Integrated Probe Positioner (IPP) improves the positioning of approved curved probes in the
chamber of the trophon2 device. Refer to the trophon2 and trophon EPR Compatible Ultrasound Probe
List for further details of probes that can be used in the trophon2 device. Position the probe curve
towards the left of the trophon2 device's chamber. To engage the IPP, once the probe is inserted into
the probe clamp, push the left side of the IPP and slide to the right (see Figure 14). This should displace
the probe cable until the probe is no longer in contact with the chamber wall (Figure 13).
To release the IPP, depress the trigger (see Figure 15) and slide to the left.
NOTE: If the IPP is not required for the probe (as per the trophon2 and trophon EPR Compatible
Ultrasound Probe List), ensure that it has been completely released and fitted to the left.
