Installing the sheath
To install the sheath:
1. Remove the sheath from the package. Do not unroll the
sheath.
NOTE: Remember to rinse all sanitary probe sheaths of powder
before placing on the probe. Powder can degrade the
displayed image.
2. Place an adequate amount of ultrasound gel inside the
sheath tip (the gel is between the sheath inner surface and
the probe aperture).
NOTE: Ensure that only acoustic coupling gel is used for this
purpose.
3. Place the sheath tip over the probe aperture and then pull
the sheath end toward the probe handle.
4. Inspect the sheath for nicks, cuts or tears.
