Before cleaning the console, turn off the power and disconnect the power. After cleaning, wipe it dry with a clean, soft cotton cloth.

TEE transesophageal probe:
Intracavitary probe
Please use a disposable sterile sheath, then use disinfectant wipes containing dialkyldimethyl ammonium chloride for disinfection. Clean before disinfecting, and ensure one-person-one-disinfection.
Intervention probe
Use a disinfected disposable probe cover; high-temperature disinfection should not be used during sterilization, low-temperature plasma, sodium hypochlorite, or glutaraldehyde immersion disinfection are recommended. After disinfection, rinse with sterile saline to avoid disinfectant residue.

The console, monitor, touch screen, control panel, and probe cables should be completely wrapped with protective films such as plastic film. Use disposable probe covers for the probe.
After each use, with the protective film in place, disinfect with 75% alcohol or 70% isopropyl alcohol. (Use wipes or spray disinfectant onto medical non-woven fabric, the humidity should be close to that of a wipe), be careful to prevent the disinfectant from flowing into the gaps in the control panel or the probe jack.
UV irradiation of the entire machine for 30 min/time.
Finally, remove the protective film and probe cover, and repeatedly wipe with disinfectant wipes to ensure there are no dead corners. Then the treatment for the next patient can begin.
