Special handling instructions
Using protective sheaths
Instructions. Custom made sheaths are available for each
probe. Each probe sheath kit consists of a flexible sheath used
to cover the probe and cable and elastic bands used to secure
the sheath.
Sterile probe sheaths are supplied as part of biopsy kits for
those probes intended for use in biopsy procedures. In addition
to the sheath and elastic bands, there are associated
accessories for performing a biopsy procedure which are
included in the kit. Refer to the biopsy instructions for the
specific probes in the Discussion section of this chapter for
further information.
Reordering. To reorder sheaths, please contact your local
distributor or the appropriate support resource.
Protective barriers may be required to minimize disease
transmission. Probe sheaths are available for use with all
clinical situations where infection is a concern. Use of legally
marketed, sterile probe sheaths is mandatory for intra-cavitary
and intra-operative procedures. Use of legally marketed,
sterile, pyrogen free probe sheaths is REQUIRED for
neurological intra-operative procedures.
Devices containing latex may cause severe allergic reaction in
latex sensitive individuals. Refer to FDA's March 29, 1991
Medical Alert on latex products.
Do not use pre-lubricated condoms as a sheath. In some
cases, they may damage the probe. Lubricants in these
condoms may not be compatible with probe construction.
DO NOT use an expired probe sheath. Before using probe
sheaths, verify whether the term of validity has expired.
