USING CLEARSCAN® COVERS WITH B-SCAN PROBES FOR STERILE
EXAMINATIONS
WARNING: Before each procedure, the ultrasound probe and probe adapter must be
cleaned and disinfected. ClearScan® covers cannot be cleaned or reused. Refer to the
Cleaning and Disinfecon secon.
NOTE: Before beginning an examinaon, verify that
the ophthalmic gel being used is labelled as sterile,
that all packaging is intact and that the ophthalmic
gel has not expired.
1. Slide the clear plasc B-Scan probe adapter tube over
the front of the probe unl it is rmly aached, but
not extending beyond the end of the probe.
2. With the top of the ClearScan® facing up, place a
generous amount of sterile ophthalmic gel (a sterile
gel form of Hypromellose) into the ClearScan® bag.
NOTE: The top of the ClearScan® is marked with a
small protruding nub.
3. Push the B-Scan probe through the green ring into
the bag unl the probe lens is immersed in gel.
4. Apply addional sterile ophthalmic gel to the exterior
of the ClearScan® bag.
NOTE: Refer to the leaet included with the ClearScan® probe covers for more informaon.
USING CLEARSCAN® COVERS TO PERFORM UBM OR ANTERIOR
SEGMENT EXAMINATIONS
WARNING: Before each procedure, the ultrasound probe and removable transducer must
be cleaned and disinfected. ClearScan® covers cannot be cleaned or reused. Refer to the
Cleaning and Disinfecon secon.
1. Holding the ClearScan® cover with rounded collar
edge facing up, pour dislled, deionized or sterile
water into the bag unl it is approximately 90% full.
2. With the rounded collar facing upward, insert the
probe into the ClearScan®.
NOTE: The probe should extend into the bag by
approximately 1/4 inch upon inial inseron.
3. As the probe enters the water, the ClearScan® will
pressurize and take on a “bullet-like” shape.
Pressure can be adjusted by changing the depth of
the probe in the ClearScan® (push in to increase pressure, withdraw to reduce pressure).
Pressure can also be released by lightly squeezing the silicone ring of the ClearScan®. The
goal is to be able to observe slight wrinkling of the bag.
NOTE: In a sulcus-to-sulcus scan, if the limbus on both sides are not visible, pressure needs
to be reduced.
NOTE: Refer to the leaet included with the ClearScan® probe covers for more informaon.
