After cleaning, the probe and cable may be wiped with a tissue sprayed with a recommended germicide.

In order to provide users with options in choosing a germicide, GE routinely reviews new medical germicides for compatibility with the materials used in the transducer housing, cable and lens. 

Although a necessary step in protecting patients and employees from disease transmission, liquid chemical germicides must also be selected to minimize potential damage to the probe.
