The Ethos automated ultrasound probe cleaner disinfector is designed to provide cleaning and high-level disinfection of surface and endocavity ultrasound probes. The system uses AquaCide cleaner/disinfectant, which is designed to be used only with the Ethos automated cleaner disinfector. The disinfectant bottles cannot be reused in the system. The QwikCheck Chemical Indicator is for use in Ethos to determine whether the concentration of peracetic acid, the active ingredient in AquaCide, is above or below the Minimum Recommended Concentration (MRC) of 1750 ppm.
A dedicated electrically-powered unit intended to be used to wash and disinfect ultrasound imaging transducers with the use of appropriate cleaning methods and chemical disinfection.
