Patient-Contact Parts

Latex and talc are 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 and talc content. Studies have shown that patients can
experience allergic reactions with natural rubber latex. See the
page 49.
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.
