risk of disease transmission:
• Use protective barriers (gloves and probe sheaths)
whenever possible. Follow sterile procedures when
appropriate.

each patient examination and disinfect or sterilize as
needed. Refer to Probes and Biopsy for probe use and
care instructions.
• Follow all infection control policies established by your
office, department or institution as they apply to personnel
and equipment.
