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 endorectal and endovaginal ultrasound and external ultrasound probes following ultrasonic procedures on patients. These disinfectors typically kill microorganisms including mycobacteria and 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.
