Intraoperative Transducers
During exams where you believe contamination of the imaging system can occur,
Philips recommends that you take universal precautions and cover the imaging
system with a disposable drape. Consult your hospital’s rules regarding equipment
use in the presence of infectious disease.
➤ To prepare a transducer for use in Intraoperative imaging applications
1. Place 20 cc of sterile gel or saline into the transducer cover.
2. Carefully inspect each transducer cover before use and discard it if you find
tears or blemishes. Also inspect each transducer cover after use. If you find a
tear, the patient or the transducer may have been contaminated.
3. Insert the transducer into the transducer cover and unfurl the transducer
cover until it covers the transducer and its cable. The transducer cover must
be unfurled far enough to maintain the sterile field.
4. Use a sterile elastic band or clip to hold the proximal end of the transducer
cover in place.
