4.9 Removing the wand barrier sleeve
The wand barrier sleeves are intended for single-patient use and must be disposed of and replaced after each patient
in order to avoid cross-contamination.
To remove the wand barrier sleeve:
1. Once the scan is complete, or if the scan has to be interrupted, wearing gloves, scrunch the transparent sheath
halfway toward the wand tip.

the wand tip using the other hand.
