That is what our infection control has said. Think about the patients and x-ray & other procedures. I would venture to guess a good wipe down is more that what happens at some places.

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!
