SECTION B2: ROUTINE HIGH LEVEL DISINFECTION CYCLE
The effectiveness of the device cannot be guaranteed if non-approved accessories are
used. Do NOT use the trophon EPR to disinfect non-approved devices or instruments.
B2.1 Validated Probes for use with trophon EPR
For details of probes that are able to be used in the trophon EPR refer to the following:
 Nanosonics website
 The manufacturer of ultrasound equipment for their recommendations and the most
up-to-date list of validated disinfectants for use with their probes
NOTE: Only validated probes should be placed in the trophon EPR. All probes referred to on
the Validated Probe List have been tested and validated according to the manufacturer's
specifications.
B2.2 Preparing the Probe
The probe must be pre-cleaned and dried BEFORE the High-Level Disinfection process can
commence in the trophon EPR.
NOTE: Failure to clean and dry the probe may result in:
 high level disinfection will not be achieved during the trophon EPR disinfection cycle
 residual disinfectant remaining on the probe
 potential exposure to residual disinfectant, which may cause injury, when removing
probe; this may lead to temporary bleaching and/or irritation of the skin if no gloves
are worn.
Refer to probe manufacturer's instructions for correct cleaning process.
B2.3 Positioning the Probe
NOTE: Probe must be correctly inserted in the device for a high-level disinfection cycle to
occur.
1. When the device is ready, screen message: LOAD PROBE AND INDICATOR
2. Open chamber door
3. The probe is held securely in the chamber by the use of two clamps; refer to Figure
9(a).
The probe has a short sleeve at the back of the handle, covering the electrical cable.
This is referred to as the PROBE GLAND - Figure 9(a)
Wearing gloves, insert the Probe correctly as follows:
 Press the probe's electrical cable into the cable clamp (at the top of the chamber)
 Hold the probe by its handle, press the top of the PROBE GLAND into the gland seal
– Figure 9(a), ensuring the top of the probe cable gland is above the gland seal –
Figure 9(b)
 Ensure the probe is straight and not touching the walls or the bottom of the
chamber
