Ultrasound, and MRSA

[Alma Kooistra]

Greetings!

I'm wondering what you do to protect your ultrasound equipment when you take 
it into a room where the patient has MRSA.  Do you differentiate if the 
patient has the MRSA in a covered wound or if it is in the sputum?  So far 
I'm just doing a good wipedown.......is that enough?

Thanks!
