Dear All,
How does the ultrasound probes/ transducers reprocessed at your hospitals. Does the ultrasound probe comes to CSSD for reprocessing.
As per ASUM guideline recommendation (attached), if the probes/transducers comes in direct contact with non -intact skin, blood, mucous membranes should be cleaned with High level disinfection irrespective of the use of as transducer cover.
Could you please let me know the process in place at your hospital. We have a National accreditation next year. I just want to bench mark/ best practice approach with some hospitals.

I am also in the process of doing a risk assessment for which I have found the Ultrasound Infection Prevention toolkit from http://www.ultrasoundinfectionprevention.org.au/ a useful tool. I also look forward to see what others are doing.
Good luck with it all
