Can you use alcohol to clean ultrasound probe?
The use of alcohol-based disinfectants including 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) is not recommended for the disinfection of transducers due to the potential of drying out and destroying the rubber head transducers.
What is the preferred method for sterilizing ultrasound transducer?
“Transducers should be cleaned after each examination with soap and water or quaternary ammonium (a low-level disinfectant) sprays or wipes. The transducers must be disconnected from the ultrasound scanner for anything more than wiping or spray cleaning.
When Should a transducer be cleaned?
Cleaning is defined as the removal of all visible soil or contaminants from the transducer. All transducers must be cleaned after every use – this is an essential step before disinfection or sterilization is attempted. 1. After every exam, ensure the acoustic coupling gel is completely wiped off the transducer.
What type of footprints do we get in Endocavitary transducer?
Therefore, they are designed to fit in specific body orifices. The endocavitary transducers include endovaginal, endorectal, and endocavity transducers (for example, the Philips C10-4EC endocavitary probe below). Typically, they have small footprints and the frequency varies in the range of 3.5Mhz – 11.5Mhz.

Is it safe to use a cracked ultrasound transducer?
Careless handling can result in damage to acoustic lens, housing, cable and/or system connector. Never use transducers with cracked or damaged housings, acoustic lens, strain relief or cable assemblies as these issues may increase cross-contamination risks and compromise electrical safety features of the transducer.
