Hi Jayne,
We have just implemented a 3 step-high level disinfection wipe system for this process. Nurses have been trained in ICU by the company to undertake this process.Jen

Dear brains trust
Would anyone be willing to share policy on decontamination/disinfection of TOE probes for out of hours procedures. Also who is responsible for taking the probe for reprocessing or indeed who takes the responsibility for reprocessing?
Many thanks in advance.Jayne OConnor

Thanks Jennifer,
Our cleaning/disinfection process is OK, but we had an issue recently whereby the responsibility of who does the process after hours is in question.

Hi Jayne,
There was a recent discussion some time back on decontamination of US probes on the list (which I would classify a TOE probe generally.
I did go back and found a link to the new updated Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (ASUM) Guidelines..
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajum.12042/fullI also found a few links to interesting articles;
