Recommended germicides
In order to provide users with options in choosing a germicide,
GE routinely reviews new medical germicides for compatibility
with the Vscan and its probe. Although a necessary step in
protecting patients and employees from disease transmission,
liquid chemical germicides must also be selected to minimize
potential damage to the transducer.
The following germicides can be used on the Vscan and its
probe.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for storage, use and
disposal of the disinfection solution.
Disinfecting the control unit
1. After cleaning, the control unit may be wiped with a tissue
sprayed with a recommended germicide.

Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol (ethanol, methanol, or
isopropyl alcohol), abrasive cleaners, or other strong solvents,
as these may cause damage to the control unit, the display or
the probe.
