Hi
We introduced this into our radiology dept for the US probes over a year
ago now and it seems to work well. The previous processes were really
inadequate for these items and the chlorine dioxide does achieve high
level disinfection options without exposure to staff of liquid
chemicals. The company provided good training to the staff who carry
this out plus we ensured that there were laminated instruction charts
with all mobile equipment e.g. used in our gynae emergency area.
Happy to share the protocol if you contact me.

disinfection
Hi All,
I have been asked to review a new cleaning and disinfection system for
reprocessing transvaginal ultrasound probes especially those used in IVF
related pregnancies where chemical residues are a high concern.
The system consists of three separate pre-packaged wipes (a cleaner, a
disinfectant and a rinse wipe) which I believe is currently used in he
UK. The active ingredient in the disinfectant wipe is chlorine dioxide
in aqueous solution.
Has anyone got any experience with this type of system that they would
be willing to share with me?
Kind Regards,
Fiona De Sousa
