Disinfectors designed to use ultraviolet light in the C spectrum (UV-C) to kill or inactivate most of the microorganisms (e.g., fungi, viruses, bacteria) found on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probes following a diagnostic TEE procedure. These disinfectors typically kill microorganisms including mycobacteria, all fungi, providing a high-level of disinfection. The disinfector usually consists of a disinfection chamber to place the probes and low-pressure UV-C tubes which emit high-intensity radiation in the invisible wavelength. The equipment typically provides disinfection monitoring and validation by an automated system with optical sensors.
