The B-ultrasound probe is the core component of the B-ultrasound detection and diagnosis instrument, which is in direct contact with the patient, and is often used to examine multiple patients in turn. Since the B-ultrasound probe is often used with the help of the gel medium of the coupling agent and in direct contact with the patient, it is easy to be contaminated with bacteria or viruses. Therefore, it must be wiped clean and disinfected after each use. If the next examination is started without strict disinfection, it is very easy to cause cross infection between patients. Therefore, disinfection and sterilization are important steps to prevent bacterial infection.
[0003] The existing method of disinfecting B-ultrasound probes is often that medical staff manually wipe and disinfect with alcohol cotton or spray disinfectant. If the wiping is not careful, the disinfection effect will be poor, and it is easy for the bacteria on the probe to be contaminated on the skin of the hands. If there is a wound on the hand, it is very easy to be infected with bacteria, which is easy to threaten the health of medical staff.
