Processing Ultrasound Transducers
Overview
This month our offering focuses on the Ultrasound Transducer Disinfection Process and Staff Competencies. Proper Processing of Ultrasound Transducers is extremely important to ensure safe care for patients. Ultrasound Transducers are used in many healthcare settings and need to be cleaned and disinfected differently depending on the procedure they are used for. Therefore, it is necessary that users be familiar with methods to clean and reprocess transducers according to manufacturer information for use guidelines.
This C_APP package provides information on how to safely reprocess ultrasound transducers using evidence based practice methodologies to prevent infection as well as a competency to be used for staff in departments that perform ultrasound procedures.
