To avoid the risk of a burn hazard, do not use the transducer with high frequency
surgical equipment. Such a hazard may occur in the event of a defect in the high
frequency surgical neutral electrode connection.
Do not use the system if it exhibits erratic or inconsistent behavior. Discontinuities in
the scanning sequence are indicative of a hardware failure that must be corrected
before use.
Some transducer sheaths contain natural rubber latex and talc, which can cause
allergic reactions in some individuals. Refer to 21 CFR 801.437, User labeling for

acoustic standoff is used, it must have a minimum attentuation of .3dB/cm/MHz.
Some SonoSite transducers are approved for intraoperative applications if a
