thoroughly cleaned prior to disinfection. The level of disinfection
required is based on patient contact. Use the following guidance
to determine the appropriate level of disinfection based on
system use.
Vscan Air is not intended for intra-operative use, it is also not
intended for intra-cavitary use. It may be used during
interventional procedures such as biopsy which based on
proximity of the probe to the needle injection site it could get
contaminated with blood or bodily fluids during use.
