Founded in 2003, CS Medical is a leader in developing, manufacturing, and marketing medical devices designed to clean and high-level disinfect ultrasound probes. Our focus is on delivering science-backed solutions that help healthcare professionals minimize the patient risk associated with improperly reprocessed ultrasound probes. Repeatable, science-based solutions are possible with CS Medical automated cleaner disinfectors for transvaginal, transrectal, surface, and transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) ultrasound probes.
Since its inception, CS Medical has pioneered the automated cleaning and disinfection process for ultrasound probes. Along with the automation of the reprocessing of ultrasound probes, CS Medical has introduced TEE Complete Care® and Complete Probe Reprocessing® products, providing quality device care and storage, minimizing healthcare operational costs, improving service readiness, and increasing regulatory compliance. Both offerings are designed to comply with manufacturer IFUs and governmental and industrial standards for reprocessing transvaginal, transrectal, surface, and transesophageal ultrasound probes. TEE Complete Care and Complete Probe Reprocessing are science-based solutions for compliance.
Today, CS Medical provides reprocessing solutions for transvaginal, transrectal, surface, and transesophageal ultrasound probes that include point-of-care or bedside cleaning, the automation of cleaning and disinfection, drying, storage, and transportation. CS Medical has now set the standard for complete probe reprocessing with the Ethos® automated cleaner disinfector and the TEEClean® automated cleaner disinfector. Allow CS Medical to come alongside your team, and together we can reduce risks in the reprocessing of your ultrasound probes.
Manually cleaning and disinfecting ultrasound probes can often result in improperly carried out or skipped steps. Automation is the best way to mitigate the risks associated with reprocessing transvaginal, transrectal, surface, and TEE ultrasound probes. It reduces patient risk and probe handling while improving processes.
The effectiveness of manual cleaning procedures and the safety of the patients downstream of these processes rely on properly trained staff and sufficient time to complete cleaning protocols. Neither staff nor time is in ample supply, even under the best circumstances. A simple solution to the problem comes in the form of automated reprocessing of both the cleaning and disinfection cycles. The efficiency and downtime allowed by automated reprocessors make them much better suited to assist a busy and short-staffed hospital or clinic. Automated reprocessors generally require much less training than manual procedures and eliminate mistakes related to re-using detergents or disinfectants and issues with temperature, contact time, water sterility, etc.
Ethos and TEEClean automated cleaner disinfectors provide both manufacturers recommended cleaning and high-level disinfection of soiled ultrasound probes in the same device.
CS Medical's devices provide a scientifically verified and repeatable method for cleaning soiled transvaginal, transrectal, surface, and TEE probes. TEEClean and Ethos incorporate an FDA-validated cleaning method and remove the labor and time-intensive manual portion of this process. The simple automation of cleaning eliminates the potential risks associated with automated disinfectors that require a clean probe before high-level disinfection in their devices. By incorporating TEEClean or Ethos into your workflow, your healthcare facility will reduce probe handling, improve compliance, and ensure a soiled ultrasound probe is reprocessed the same way every reprocessing cycle.
