WHAT’S WRONG WITH THESE METHODS?

* Source: HICPAC, FDA, CDC and AIUM guidelines

There’s nothing wrong withCidex OPA, just don’t put theprobe straight into the bottle.

PROBLEMS:• Can tip over• Uses entire gallon• Contamination by

touching neck of bottlewith probe

• No vapor control

Wipes are a widely useddisinfectant for externalultrasound probes.*

PROBLEM:Wipes are not an FDAapproved high-leveldisinfectant. Vaginal, rectaland TEE probes are requiredto be disinfected with anFDA approved high-leveldisinfectant.

No issue – as long asthe tray is inside a vaporcontrol system.

PROBLEMS:

• Uses entire gallon• Probe handle can be

submerged• No vapor control

T-Spray is a widely useddisinfectant for externalultrasound probes.*

PROBLEM:T-Spray is not an FDAapproved high-leveldisinfectant. Vaginal, rectaland TEE probes are requiredto be disinfected with anFDA approved high-leveldisinfectant.

PCI medical first introduced its innovative vapor control technologyin 1995. At that time, the common high-level disinfectant wasGlutaraldehyde, hence the name “GUS” (Glutaraldehyde User Station).Today, both OPA and Glutaraldehyde are used to disinfect instrumentsand both disinfectants require the same safety engineering controls.

With over 6,000 systems used in hospitals and clinics, GUS® VaporControl Systems have been proven effective in protecting staff fromtoxic vapors and preventing damage to instruments.

KEY FEATURES:1. Cushioned grip clips suspend delicate probes inside container

2. Electrical connector sits on cushioned pad

3. Large intake area captures vapors when probe is removed

4. Patented filter traps OPA and Glutaraldehyde vapors

5. Containers use less than one quart of disinfectant

6. Delicate tip does not touch bottom of container

7. Whisper quiet blowers return clean air to room

8. Locking safety door (not shown) allows for installationin patient area

Rinse Station

Standardize the rinseprocess after the high-leveldisinfection of yourendocavity probes. Mosthigh-level disinfectantsrequire a series of threevolume rinses using potableor sterile water. Rinse yourendocavity probe in a simple3-step procedure by fullyimmersing the probe ineach container for a minute.
