C2.6 Removing The Probe; C2.7 Sleep Mode And Shutdown Procedures - Nanosonics trophon EPR Mode D'emploi

5. The High Level Disinfection cycle will take 7 minutes to complete.
WARNING: In the unlikely event mist is visibly escaping from the chamber, remain at a
distance from the trophon until completion of the operating cycle and the mist is no
longer visible. Do not come into direct contact with the mist. Contact your customer
service representative (see Part D – Troubleshooting).

C2.6 Removing the Probe

1. When the cycle has been completed, the trophon will sound an audible alarm.
NOTE: After completion of a successful high level disinfection cycle, the ultrasound probe and
chamber may have surface temperatures up to 45
should be taken not to touch the chamber. The probe will feel warm to touch and is safe for
handling and use with gloves on.
2. Follow the on screen instructions:
Screen message 1: Cycle Complete. Wear Gloves. Remove and Wipe Probe.
Screen message 2: Attention: Wear Gloves and Wipe Probe. (This message indicates that
some hydrogen peroxide may not have been broken down into its constituents, oxygen and
water and extra care should be taken when removing the probe).
3. Wearing clean gloves, immediately remove the used Chemical Indicator from the trophon and
verify the colour change against the chart on the Chemical Indicator carton. Record the result
using the printer or logbook accessories if required.
4. Discard used Chemical Indicator.
5. Remove the probe carefully using minimal contact after the cycle is complete. Avoid touching
the probe against the chamber's hot surface. Avoid compromising the probe's disinfected
surface before use.
NOTE: After HLD cycle completion, the trophon performs a rapid cooling cycle until the probe is
removed from the chamber to prevent overheating of the probe. If the probe is not removed
immediately this will increase the warm-up time required by the subsequent cycle. It is therefore
recommended to remove the probe as soon as possible after HLD cycle has been completed.
6. Wipe the probe with a clean, low lint, absorbent, single-use, dry cloth/ wipe. Visually inspect
the probe and ensure any disinfectant residue present is removed.
7. If a pass was verified by the Chemical Indicator colour AND the trophon screen displayed
cycle complete, the HLD has been successful – proceed to step 8 below. If one or both of
these items did not occur, repeat steps from section C2.1.
8. Discard gloves.
9. Close the chamber door.
10. The probe is now ready for use or storage.

C2.7 Sleep Mode and Shutdown Procedures

 If the trophon is not used for 120 minutes or a probe has been left inside the trophon for an
extended amount of time, it will automatically enter sleep mode in order to save power. To
restart the trophon from sleep mode press Restart.
 While the trophon is in sleep mode it will perform self-maintenance functions and will display
the messages: Warming Up or System Refresh. Please do not switch the trophon off during
these processes.
 System refresh during sleep will only occur for low use customers and does not impact the
number of disinfection cycles that can be performed per cartridge. This process will typically
take 13 minutes.
