Hazardous materials
To avoid injury or reduce the risk of infection to the patient, observe the
following:
Follow Universal Precautions when inserting and maintaining a medical
device for interventional and intraoperative procedures.
Appropriate training in interventional and intraoperative procedures as
dictated by current relevant medical practices as well as in proper operation
of the ultrasound system and transducer is required. During vascular access,
the potential exists for serious complications including without limitation the
following: pneumothorax, arterial puncture, guidewire misplacement, and
risks normally associated with local or general anesthesia, surgery, and post-
operative recovery.
To avoid device damage or patient injury, do not use the P10x, P17x, or P21x
needle guide bracket on patients with pacemakers or medical electronic
implants. The needle guide bracket for the P10x, P17x, and P21x transducers
contains a magnet that is used to ensure the bracket is correctly oriented on the
transducer. The magnetic field in direct proximity to the pacemaker or medical
electronic implant may have an adverse effect.
Products and accessories may contain hazardous materials. Ensure that products
and accessories are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner and
meet federal and local regulations for disposing hazardous materials.
