Disinfection of Transvaginal Ultrasound Probes by Ultraviolet C - A clinical Evaluation of Automated and Manual Reprocessing Methods.

CONCLUSION: For the clinical routine, automated disinfection with ultraviolet C is a promising technique for transvaginal ultrasound probes because of the simple handling and time efficiency. In our study, this method was completely effective against nosocomial pathogens. However, the study didn't show any significant difference in terms of effectiveness compared to low-level wipe disinfection. PMID: 31238382 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
