SECTION C3: Routine High Level Disinfection Cycle

C3.1 Preparing the Probe

Wear gloves throughout the complete HLD process.
Clean and dry the probe and check clearly for probe defects BEFORE commencing the high level
disinfection process, as per the probe manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that the probe has been
thoroughly dried after cleaning and no visible debris is present.

C3.2 Inserting the Chemical Indicator

A whole trophon Chemical Indicator must be used for each disinfection cycle and may only be used
once. Refer to the Chemical Indicator IFU.

C3.3 Positioning the Probe

1. If AcuTrace is enabled, when prompted, scan the trophon AcuTrace Medical Instrument Tag and
Operator Card.
2. Open the chamber door and load probe and Chemical Indicator.
3. Two clamps (see Figure 9) hold the probe cable securely in the chamber.
4. Wear gloves and insert the probe into the trophon2 by gently pulling the probe cable against the
cable clamp (see Figure 9a). Then carefully pull the cable upwards until the probe is suspended
in the correct location and the probe cable is held by the cable seal (see Figure 9b). Refer to
figures 10-12 and note a correctly positioned probe in the trophon2.
Do not pull the probe down when loaded in the cable clamp.
