3.7 Preparation and inspection of the balloon
• Balloons used with this instrument contain natural rubber
latex that may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Do not use the balloon on a latex-sensitive patient. Instead,
perform the procedure using “The sterile deaerated water
immersion method” described in Section 4.2, “Observation of
the ultrasound image” on page 66.
• When using the sterile balloon (MAJ-249), do not use an
instrument after the expiration date displayed on the sterile
package. Doing so may pose an infection control risk.
• The balloons are disposable, and are intended for a
single-use only. A new one must be used for each patient. Do
not attempt to reuse the balloon. This could pose an
infection-control risk or cause equipment damage.
