Since our inception in 2003, CS Medical has pioneered the development and manufacture of medical devices designed to care for transesophageal echocardiogram ultrasound (TEE) probes. CS Medical’s mission is to assist infection preventionists (IPs) in putting an end to the spread of healthcare associated infections (HAIs). So far, we have helped high-level disinfect over six million TEE probes across the USA and around the globe. Our products and services help ensure each TEE probe is fully cleaned and high-level disinfected using repeatable, science-based solutions providing consistent results every time. Our relentless pursuit for new and improved solutions to the hard work of reprocessing TEE probes continues to be at the core of everything we do.

Applying our rigorously high standards and unmatched expertise, CS Medical provides cutting-edge solutions to every step of TEE probe care, including: bedside cleaning, cleaning, transportation, high-level disinfection, drying, and storage. One of our latest innovations, TEEClean® Automated TEE Probe Cleaner Disinfector, is a testament to our commitment to the health and safety of medical patients and staff. By eliminating manual cleaning and high-level disinfection, TEEClean® minimizes TEE probe handling and consistently provides exceptional outcomes.

Reprocessing TEE probes and keeping them high-level disinfected until their next use is a hard task. At CS Medical, we know healthcare professionals and IPs are in short supply and are often overburdened with heavy loads. Our solution for all the difficulties posed by TEE probe reprocessing is TEE Complete Care®. TEE Complete Care® provides healthcare facilities all the tools needed to successfully reprocess probes efficiently and with scientifically validated and repeatable results.

To start, our TEEZyme® Enzymatic Sponge simply and effectively bedside cleans probes immediately after use, removing organic and inorganic soil. The TPorter® TEE Ultrasound Probe Transportation and Procedure Case then safely delivers the enzymatically treated TEE probe from the procedure room to the designated area for reprocessing.

Now the probe is ready for cleaning and high-level disinfection. Traditionally, these have been two separate steps requiring significant amounts of manual labor, time, and testing. Knowing how limited hands are in the healthcare world, CS Medical has developed the revolutionary TEEClean® Automated TEE Probe Cleaner Disinfector, the first product of its kind to be cleared by the FDA. TEEClean® cleans and high-level disinfects probes to manufacturers’ specifications, all in one device and with minimal input from the user. This minimizes the amount of handling and moving each probe undergoes, helping protect these delicate, expensive devices and keep them undamaged.

Once the TEE probe emerges from the TEEClean, special care must be given to drying and storage to ensure the probe stays high-level disinfected. Using CS Medical’s QwikDry® Ultrasound Probe Drying Cloth keeps the probe disinfected and thoroughly dries it for storage in the CleanShield® TEE Ultrasound Probe Storage Cabinet. In the CleanShield®, probes are hung vertically within a HEPA-filtered environment, as recommended by The Joint Commission. According to a study commissioned by CS Medical, probes may be stored in the CleanShield® for up to seven days and stay contaminant-free. Once stored, TEE probes are ready to be loaded into a TPorter® for transportation.
