15 Probes and Biopsy
A legally marketed probe sheath must be installed over the probe before performing intra-cavitary
and intra-operative examination. Protective barriers may be required to minimize disease
transmission. Probe sheaths are available for use with all clinical situations where infection is a
concern.
To order probe sheath, contact:

Refer to the following dimension table of all probes to choose the necessary probe sheath type. You
can select the probe sheath according to the actual application situation.
Perform the following procedure to install the probe sheath:
1. Place an appropriate amount of gel inside the sheath or on the probe acoustic lens. Poor
imaging may result if no gel is used.
2. Insert the probe into the sheath; make sure to use proper sterile technique. Pull cover tightly
over probe acoustic lens to remove wrinkles and air bubbles, and taking care to avoid
puncturing the sheath.
3. Secure the sheath with the enclosed elastic bands.
4. Inspect the sheath to ensure there is no hole or tear.
15.1.5 Probes Cleaning and Disinfection
Before and after completing each examination, clean and disinfect the probes as required. When
biopsy procedures have been performed, be sure to sterilize the needle-guided bracket. Fail to do so
may result in the probe and the needle-guided bracket to becoming sources of infection. Please
follow the instructions in the manual for cleaning.
Never immerse the probe connector into liquid such as water or disinfectant.
Immersion may cause electrical shock or malfunction.
• No cleaning and disinfecting may result in the probe becoming a source of
infection.
• Please follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s manual for performing
cleaning and disinfection, including preparing sterile water and cleaning
and disinfection time.
