Hi Jane,
We have also been approached to review this product for ENT nasendoscopes, I would love a copy of your protocol for the wipes.

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.

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
