description AbstractThe authors review the main concepts regarding the importance of cleaning/disinfection of ultrasonography probes, aiming a better comprehension by practitioners and thus enabling strategies to establish a safe practice without compromising the quality of the examination and the operator productivity. In the context of biosafety, it is imperative to assume that contact with blood or body fluids represents a potential source of infection. Thus, in order to implement cleaning/disinfection practice, it is necessary to understand the principles of infection control, to consider the cost/benefit ratio of the measures to be implemented, and most importantly, to comprehend that such measures will not only benefit the health professional and the patient, but the society as a whole. ResumoOs autores revisam os principais conceitos relativos à importância da limpeza/desinfecção das sondas ecográficas, visando sua melhor compreensão e possibilitando, assim, estabelecer estratégias para uma prática segura sem comprometer a qualidade do exame e a produtividade do operador. No contexto da biossegurança, é imperativo assumir que o contato com sangue ou fluidos corporais representa uma potencial fonte de infecção. Dessa forma, para que as práticas de limpeza/desinfecção possam ser instituídas, é necessário entender os princípios do controle de infecção, ponderar se os benefícios das medidas a serem instituídas são compatíveis com seus custos e consequências, e principalmente compreender que tais medidas não beneficiam apenas o profissional de saúde e o paciente, mas a sociedade como um todo.
