16 Probes and Biopsy
Operator’s Manual 16 - 9
Perform the following procedure to install the probe sheath:
1. Place an appropriate amount of gel inside the sheath or on the probe acoustic lens. Poor
imaging may result if no gel is used.
2. Insert the probe into the sheath; make sure to use proper sterile technique. Pull cover tightly
over probe acoustic lens to remove wrinkles and air bubbles, and taking care to avoid
puncturing the sheath.
3. Secure the sheath with the enclosed elastic bands.
4. Inspect the sheath to ensure there is no hole or tear.
16.1.5 Probes Cleaning and Disinfection
Before and after completing each examination, clean and disinfect the probes as required. When
biopsy procedures have been performed, be sure to sterilize the needle-guided bracket. Fail to do so
may result in the probe and the needle-guided bracket to becoming sources of infection. Please
follow the instructions in the manual for cleaning.
Never immerse the probe connector into liquid such as water or disinfectant.
Immersion may cause electrical shock or malfunction.
