Transesophageal probes are important ultrasound probes in cardiology and anesthesiology departments. Because this probe is very precise and is inserted into the patient's body via the esophagus during operation, cleaning and disinfection must be performed before and after use to ensure patient safety. During daily use and disinfection, extra care is needed to avoid damaging the probe.
Here, we introduce the cleaning and maintenance precautions for Philips transesophageal probes for your reference.
1. Cleaning and disinfection must be performed before the first use.
2. Cleaning and disinfection must be performed after each use.
3. Establish a standard cleaning procedure.
4. Disposable sheaths should be used during operation, and probe protective sheaths should also be used to protect the probe tip when not in use. The following two pictures are disposable sheaths and probe protective sheaths used respectively.

4. Soak the probe tip in disinfectant, as shown in the figure.
5. Soak according to the disinfection time specified by the hospital or unit. Remember not to soak for too long.
6. After disinfection, remove the probe from the disinfectant, take it to the sink and rinse off the disinfectant with clean water. Make sure no disinfectant remains on the probe tip.
