Training
The EchoNous System is intended to be used by clinicians with appropriate professional qualifications and
clinical training.
All users should read the generic ALARA education program supplied with your EchoNous System (see enclosed
ISBN 1-93004 7-71-1, Medical Ultrasound Safety) or the Health Canada “Guidelines for the Safe Use of Diagnostic
Ultrasound” available on the Health Canada website. This program outlines the guiding principle for diagnostic
ultrasound, where the qualified user keeps ultrasound exposure to “as low as reasonably achievable” while
performing a diagnostic examination.
In addition to the above, users intending to use the ultrasound imaging function must have appropriate training
in ultrasound. Appropriate information on training may be obtained by contacting EchoNous
or your local
professional body.
For users measuring bladder volume, an understanding of anatomy and location of the bladder is required.
Ultrasound training is required if bladder outline adjustments are to be performed.
Users performing vascular access procedures must have appropriate training in ultrasound guided vascular
access. Appropriate information on training may be obtained by contacting EchoNous
or your local professional
body.
