Safety Precau-

A-Scan that require special attention, as they may pose
a safety threat.
Sterilization
Sterilization issues are confined to the A-Scan probe that
comes in contact with the patient’s eye. In order to
prevent the transmission of disease, OSHA and CDC
guidelines are referenced for proper control of
sterilization issues. These guidelines are frequently
updated so be sure to contact OSHA, CDC, or your local
disease control officer for the latest information and
sterilization techniques.
