Patient Safety During Intraoperative Studies
This section lists conditions that can adversely affect patients when you are using
an intraoperative transducer.
To operate an intraoperative transducer, you must be under the guidance of a
physician who is properly trained in intraoperative ultrasound imaging techniques,
according to currently approved relevant medical practices. You also must be
thoroughly familiar with the safe operation, care, and maintenance of the
ultrasound system used with the transducer, as well as proficient at interpreting
the images generated.
To help ensure patient safety when using an intraoperative transducer, observe
the following guidelines:
• Scrutinize the entire transducer before each use. (See the "Transducer
Care" section.)
• Use mandatory protective equipment, including an approved sterile
protective transducer cover, during intraoperative studies. For information
about using transducer covers, see "Preparing Transducers for Intraoperative
Use" on page 215.
• Operate the transducer properly.
• Do not allow water or other liquids to drip onto the transducer connector,
the interior of the system, or the keyboard.
