The Exablate Prostate console is designed to protect the patient and the operator from accidental exposure
to ultrasound energy.
Review and follow all operator instructions included with the console.
The operator and nurse must each be able to freely activate a Stop Sonication button at any time during
the procedure. Pressing the Stop Sonication button immediately stops the sonication. Releasing the button
enables the treatment to resume.
The Exablate Prostate console controls the connection between the ultrasound transducer and the rest of
the system. The system power should be turned off before leaving the console to prevent undesired
activation of the transducer.
The transducer surface is very delicate, therefore clean it only with alcohol, a soft cloth and avoid any
contact of sharp objects. When not in use, cover the transducer with the dedicated cover to avoid accidental
damage.
