Transducer Protective Sheath

 To Apply a Transducer Protective Sheath

IMPORTANT: For the protection of both the patient and healthcare worker,

sonographers should be properly gloved throughout the entire procedure when

performing ultrasound examinations.

NOTE: ZONARE recommends the use of a market-approved sterile protective

sheath. Follow the user instructions for the particular sheath.

1. Remove the sheath from its packaging.

2. Apply water-based ultrasound gel to the inside of the sheath.

3. Pull the sheath securely over the transducer and remove any wrinkles or air

bubbles.

4. Secure the sheath to the transducer with plastic bands.

IMPORTANT: ZONARE recommends the use of sterile/pyrogen-free protective

sheaths to ensure safe and effective operation during invasive exams (i.e.,

intraoperative, transvaginal, transrectal, and transesophageal) and to prevent the

transmission of disease (i.e., Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease) during intraoperative

neurological examinations. For further information on transducer proper care, see

“Transducer Maintenance” on page 14-20.

IMPORTANT: To prevent the spread of infectious disease, use a disposable

transducer cover. If a sterile transducer cover becomes compromised during an

application involving a patient with Creutzfeldt-Jacob and/or other infectious

disease, follow the guidelines of the US Centers for Disease Control and the

World Health Organization’s publication: WHO/CDS/APH/2000/3, WHO Infection

Control Guidelines for Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies. This may

result in having to destroy the transducer if cross-contamination is possible.

ZONARE recommends CIVCO protective sheaths. To order, go to

www.civco.com/ultrasound/endo_cover. For information about infection control

when using a CIVCO protective sheath, go to www.civco.com/customer_support/

customer_tools/ultrasound/Why_use_a_cover.pdf. See also

“Cleaning and

Disinfecting Transducers” on page 14-21.

CAUTION: Please refer to the FDA's Medical Alert on latex products (FDA 1991)

prior to use of a protective transducer sheath.

Biopsy Guide

 To Attach a Nondisposable Biopsy Guide (E9-4 Transducer Only)

IMPORTANT: To avoid cross-contamination of infectious disease, follow the

manufacturer’s instructions for use, disinfection, and/or sterilization of reusable

needle guides. See also

“Cleaning and Disinfecting Transducers” on page 14-21.

1. Read the information supplied with the biopsy guide.

2. Apply a sterile transducer cover as described in the preceding section.
