<p>Described is an apparatus (5) for disinfecting and testing the electrical safety of a transesophageal echo - TEE - probe (10). The apparatus comprises a receptacle (20) adapted to receive the TEE probe, means (30, 100, 110; 40, 120, 130) for supplying the receptacle with a disinfection fluid and with a rinsing fluid, removing means (50, 140, 150) for removing any fluid from the receptacle, and an insulation tester (60) having a first contact (70) within the receptacle and a second contact (80) connectable with the TEE probe. The disinfecting and testing of the electrical safety is executed by supplying the receptacle with a disinfection fluid, disinfecting the TEE probe, and removing the disinfection fluid. The receptacle is then supplied with a rinsing fluid and the TEE probe is rinsed from remaining disinfection fluid. When the TEE probe has been rinsed to a certain extent and before removing the rinsing fluid from the receptacle, an electrical safety test is executed with the TEE probe by using the rinsing fluid. <IMAGE></p> |
