Operation Manual

Sheath Use

Sheaths are recommended for clinical applications of an invasive nature, including intraoperative,

transrectal, transvaginal, and biopsy procedures.

Samsung Medison does not supply sheaths, so appropriate sheaths should be purchased

independently.

Installing the Sheath

WARNING:

X

Always keep sheaths in a sterile state.

X

Sheaths are disposable. Do not reuse them.

X

If sheaths are torn or soiled after use, clean and disinfect the probe.

X

In neurosurgical applications, a disinfected probe must be used with sterile gel and a sterile

pyrogen-free sheath.

X

If the sterile sheath becomes compromised during neurosurgical applications involving a

patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the probe cannot be successfully sterilized by any

disinfection method.

X

Some sheaths contain natural rubber latex and talc, which can cause allergic reactions in some

individuals. Please refer to the FDA Medical Alert released on March 29, 1991.

1. Put on sterile gloves. Unpack the sheath and ll it with acoustic coupling gel.

2. Insert the probe into the sheath and pull the latex tip to cover the probe completely. If possible,

cover the probe cable as well.

3. Ensure that there is no air bubbles within the ultrasound gel. If necessary, secure the sheath to the

probe and the probe cable.

4. Dispose of the sheath after use.
