Preparing transducers

WARNING: 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 devices that
contain natural rubber.
Some gels and sterilants can cause
an allergic reaction on some
individuals.
Caution: To avoid damage to the transducer,
use only gels recommended by
SonoSite. Using gels other than the
one recommended by SonoSite can
damage the transducer and void
the warranty. If you have questions
about gel compatibility, contact
SonoSite or your local
representative.
SonoSite recommends that you
clean transducers after each use.
See "Cleaning and disinfecting
transducers"
Acoustic coupling gel must be used during
exams. Although most gels provide suitable
acoustic coupling, some gels are incompatible
with some transducer materials. SonoSite
recommends Aquasonic
sample with the system.
For general use, apply a liberal amount of gel
between the transducer and the body. For
invasive or surgical use, be sure to follow the
sterilization instructions described in "Cleaning
and disinfecting transducers" on page 84.
