Suite H/Rm A1-492

-Walk to Suite H (if this door is locked, try any of the other Suites along this side of the hallway as they all share the same end corridor. If no luck will need to ask Security to open it for you)

-After enter Suite H walk to very back corridor and room A1-492 is at the end slightly to your left.

-This door is always locked so use the key.

Trophon Cleaner

-Wipe off gel from probe, open door to “Vaginal” Trophon cleaner (the machine on the right, NOT the rectal one!) and snap probe in place

-Take red “sticker” from grey “Trophon Chemical Indicator” box (teal arrow) that sits to the right of the machine and place it on the bottom of the opened door (yellow arrow)

-Close door and press the start button. If it’s already on it only takes 7min to clean but if it has to be awoken from sleep apparently it takes a lot longer (ie hit start and come back in 20min).

Bring Clean Probe (and key!) back to our US Machine

-There should always be 2 CLEAN vaginal probes on our US machine

-It is our job to ensure that BOTH are clean and placed back on our machine at the end of each shift (no one else will clean them for us and if we leave one in the Trophon room it may go MIA!)

-Worse case if for some reason there are no probes, go to 4th Flr US Suite and borrow one of theirs (the key to get in can be found on round plastic key chain in Secretary’s Desk)
