Preparation
To prepare the endocavitary probe for use:
1. Remove the probe from the box and carefully examine it for
any damage.
2. Clean, then disinfect the probe.
NOTE: Ensure that protective gloves are worn.
WARNING
DO NOT use the needle with the catheter (soft tube). There is a
possibility of breaking the catheter in the body.
CAUTION
Before inserting the needle, scan the patient to determine the
correct puncture depth and site. Only the sterile/sanitary
sheath, sterile gel and rubber band are on the probe during the
pre-needle placement scanning.
