C3.6 Removing the Probe
After completion of a successful HLD cycle, the ultrasound probe and chamber may have
surface temperatures up to 45 °C and 60 °C / 113 °F and 140 °F respectively. Take care not
to touch the chamber. The probe will feel warm to touch but is safe for handling and use
with gloves on.
12.
Wear gloves and follow the onscreen instructions.
13.
Using two hands, gently remove and wipe the probe with a dry, clean, single-use, low-lint or lint-
free cloth. Visually inspect the probe and remove any present disinfectant residue.
NOTE: Take care when removing the probe to ensure minimal contact and avoid contact with the
chamber. Remove the used trophon Chemical Indicator and verify the color change against the Color
Assessment Chart on the Chemical Indicator packaging. Discard the used Chemical Indicator.
C3.7 Confirming the HLD Cycle
1.
Close the trophon2 chamber door and follow the onscreen instructions to record the Chemical
Indicator result.
2.
The trophon2 device will indicate a passed or failed cycle. If the trophon Chemical Indicator and/or
trophon2 device indicate a failed cycle, repeat steps from Section C3.1 Preparing the Probe
A disinfection cycle will only be completed and logged once the operator has confirmed a
pass by the Chemical Indicator and scanned their Operator Card to confirm (if AcuTrace
is enabled). Any errors or power related issue should be considered a fail. Refer to
SECTION F1: Incomplete or Failed Cycles. Follow the onscreen instructions to repeat steps
from Section C3.1 Preparing the Probe.
3.
If the trophon2 device indicates a passed cycle, the probe is now ready for use or storage in a
Clean Ultrasound Probe Cover. Once stored, discard the gloves.
The medical instrument (probe) is ready for patient use only after the disinfection cycle is completed as
described above.
C3.8 Sleep Mode
If the trophon2 device is inactive for an extended time period, it will automatically enter the power saving
sleep mode (unless sleep mode is deactivated), indicated by the onscreen symbol:
Touch the symbol to reactivate the trophon2 device for use.
