In this training, nurses/attendees will learn how what the current industry and Joint Commission standards are regarding high-level disinfection of transvaginal probes used during first trimester limited obstetrical ultrasound examinations. Attendees will learn what methods are currently available, what procedures and compounds are safe for nurses, Sonographers and patients. Most importantly, they will learn what the risks are to transmit disease from one patient to the other, or themselves, if improper device reprocessing procedures are being performed.
