TEE probe disinfection

CS Medical engineers have developed the TD 200 Automated TEE Probe Disinfector with TD-12 AquaCide High Level Disinfectant (HLD) for reprocessing transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) ultrasound probes. TD 200 is FDA-cleared and cuts the time it takes to high level disinfect a probe from five minutes down to three minutes. TD-12 AquaCide is a peracetic acid-based HLD in a powder form, minimizing the risks of exposure of toxic HLD fumes. Because of the new chemistry, TD 200 only needs to rinse the probes once after HLD. It comes  with a chemisorptive bonded carbon filter, which captures any fumes generated during HLD. TD-12 AquaCide can be safely discarded down the drain and does not require any special disposal procedures.
