Specifications
Patient-Contact Parts
Latex is commonly used in transducer covers marketed to help with infection
control in transesophageal, endocavity, and intraoperative imaging applications
and during biopsies. Examine the packaging to confirm latex content. Studies
have shown that patients can experience allergic reactions with natural rubber
latex. See the "FDA Medical Alert on Latex" on page 45.
NOTE
The ultrasound system and transducers discussed here do not contain natural
rubber latex that contacts humans. Natural rubber latex is not used on any Philips
ultrasound transducers.
