Preparation of Ultrasound Probes with provita medical

Mobile and Stationary Units for Immersion Disinfection of TEE Probes

The preparation of TEE probes (transesophageal echocardiography probes) is an important measure to prevent hospital infections. The TEE Care immersion disinfection unit from provita medical offers an efficient solution for disinfecting these devices. It enables complete immersion disinfection of the probes, ensuring thorough cleaning and disinfection.

According to the latest recommendations from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), wiping disinfection of TEE probes is no longer permissible, as a verifiable disinfection is not guaranteed, and these probes can thus become sources of infection. The RKI emphasizes the necessity of machine processing or manual immersion disinfection to meet hygiene requirements in the reprocessing of medical devices.

The immersion disinfection units from provita medical meet these requirements through a structured process, which includes steps such as pre-cleaning, complete immersion of the probe in a disinfectant solution, and subsequent post-treatment. This method minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and ensures that the probes are ready for the next use.

The use of this specialized disinfection unit thus significantly contributes to improving patient safety and complying with the hygiene measures recommended by the RKI.

With the 3D configurator from provita medical, you can find the right unit for your probe.
