Indications for Use
The trophon2 is designed to provide High-Level Disinfection (HLD) of validated ultrasound probes. High-Level Disinfection is achieved by surface exposure to a controlled dose of hydrogen peroxide mist delivered to a disinfection chamber containing the ultrasound probe. The trophon2 system consists of a multiple use instrument combined with a single use disinfectant "trophon Sonex-HL", delivered from a multi-dose cartridge. The trophon2 is suitable for use in general hospital and health care facilities by trained personnel. The trophon Sonex-HL should be used with the following contact conditions: Minimum Operational Cycle Time: 7 minutes Minimum Concentration: 31.5% Minimum Disinfectant Dose: 1.0 g Minimum Chamber Temperature: 56℃
Device Story
The trophon2 is a software-controlled electromechanical system for high-level disinfection (HLD) of ultrasound transducers. It uses a multi-dose cartridge of hydrogen peroxide (trophon Sonex-HL) to generate a liquid aerosol mist within a sealed disinfection chamber. The device automates the disinfection and aeration cycle, monitoring time, temperature, and dose. It features a color touch screen, RFID for traceability, and Ethernet/USB connectivity for network integration. Used in hospitals and clinics by trained personnel, the device ensures probe safety via a chemical indicator (K103126) to verify disinfectant delivery. The system improves upon the predicate Trophon EPR by offering a more regularized chamber shape, enhanced user interface, and improved sub-assembly design, facilitating effective disinfection of irregular probes while maintaining established HLD efficacy standards.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Testing included electromechanical and EMC testing, biocompatibility, microbiological efficacy, process parameter validation, materials compatibility, disinfectant stability, and chemical indicator verification. Results met all acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Software-controlled electromechanical system. Uses 35% hydrogen peroxide in multi-dose cartridges. Disinfection via liquid aerosol mist and automated aeration. Features color touch screen, RFID module, 3 USB ports, and 1 Ethernet port. Standards: IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2-040, IEC 61326, IEC 62304, ISO 62366-1/-2, ISO 10993, ISO 14971.
Indications for Use
Indicated for high-level disinfection of validated ultrasound probes in general hospital and healthcare facilities by trained personnel.

#### Description of the Device:
The trophon2 is a software controlled device which provides High-Level Disinfection of ultrasound transducers. The device consists of a sealed disinfection chamber and operates in conjunction with a multi-dose cartridge of concentrated hydrogen peroxide disinfectant "trophon Sonex- HL".
Pre-cleaned and dried ultrasound transducers are placed within the trophon2 chamber and disinfected by means of an automated disinfection and aeration cycle.
The disinfected ultrasound transducer is removed from the chamber, wiped and is ready for immediate use.
#### Indications for Use:
The trophon2 is designed to provide High-Level Disinfection (HLD) of validated ultrasound probes. High-Level Disinfection is achieved by surface exposure to a controlled dose of hydrogen peroxide mist delivered to a disinfection chamber containing the ultrasound probe.
The trophon2 system consists of a multiple use instrument combined with a single use disinfectant "trophon Sonex-HL", delivered from a multi-dose cartridge.
The trophon2 is suitable for use in general hospital and health care facilities by trained personnel.
The trophon Sonex-HL should be used with the following contact conditions:
| Minimum Operational Cycle Time: | 7 minutes |
|---------------------------------|-----------|
| Minimum Concentration: | 31.5% |
| Minimum Disinfectant Dose: | 1.0 g |
| Minimum Chamber Temperature: | 56°C |
#### Detailed Predicate device comparison:
The trophon2 is similar to the legally marketed Trophon EPR manufactured by Nanosonics and cleared under 510(k) K103059.
The trophon Sonex-HL is the same disinfectant that is cleared under K103059.
The trophon2 device and the predicate Trophon EPR use a validated and controlled automated cycle to deliver measured doses of disinfectant to a chamber which contains the pre-cleaned and dried ultrasound transducer requiring disinfection.
Both the trophon EPR and the trophon2 require the use of the Trophon Chemical Indicator to verify for each cycle the correct delivery of the disinfectant.

### Intended Use
The intended Use of the trophon2 is the same as the Trophon EPR, they are both intended for the High Level Disinfection of ultrasound probes under the same defined conditions.
## Similarities between trophon2 device and the predicate device
- Both the trophon2 device and the predicate Trophon EPR are High-Level Disinfecting systems for Ultrasound transducers.
- . Both devices are software controlled electromechanical devices which use a validated, automated cycle to deliver measured dose of hydrogen peroxide disinfectant to a chamber which contains the transducer to be disinfected.
- The trophon2 and predicate both monitor and control the disinfection parameters of time, temperature and dose delivery.
- Both devices are used in general hospital and health care facilities to achieve High-Level Disinfection of ultrasound transducers.
- . The same Trophon Chemical indicator (K103126) is used in both devices as a means to confirm delivery of the disinfectant.
## Differences between trophon2 device and the Trophon EPR
The difference between the trophon2 and Trophon EPR is the addition of new features and some device modifications to improve the usability of the device, mainly around:
- . The Chamber shape - to enable irreqular shaped probes to better fit in the chamber.
- RFID Functionality - provides a new traceability features when enabled.
- External Communication - allows integration with Hospital networks and Nanosonics Service database when enabled.
- . User Interface Improvements - introduction of a colored touch screen.
- Improved aesthetic.
- Design improvements to sub-assemblies. ●
