This month our offering focuses on the Ultrasound Transducer Disinfection Process and Staff Competencies. Proper Processing of Ultrasound Transducers is extremely important to ensure safe care for patients.

This C_APP package provides information on how to safely reprocess ultrasound transducers using evidence based practice methodologies to prevent infection as well as a competency to be used for staff in departments that perform ultrasound procedures.
