    SonoSite recommends you clean transducers after each use. See “Cleaning and Caution: Disinfecting Transducers” on page Note: SonoSite recommends the use of market-cleared, transducer sheaths for clinical applications of an invasive nature. Place gel inside the sheath. Insert the transducer into the sheath.

  • Page 30: Patient Information

    Note: To lessen the risk of contamination, install the sheath only when you are ready to perform the procedure. Pull the sheath over the transducer and cable until the sheath is fully extended. Secure the sheath using the bands supplied with the sheath. Check for and eliminate bubbles between the footprint of the transducer and the sheath.

  • Page 49: Chapter 5: Safety

    Chapter 5: Safety Read this information before using the iLook personal imaging tool. The information in this guide ® applies to the ultrasound system, transducer, accessories, and peripherals. This chapter contains information required by various regulatory agencies, including information about ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable), the output display standard, acoustic power and intensity tables, and other safety information.
  • Page 50 “Accessories” on page To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use commercial grade peripherals recommended by SonoSite on battery power only. Do not connect these products to AC power when using the system to scan or diagnose a patient/subject. Contact SonoSite or your local representative for a list of the commercial grade peripherals available from or recommended by SonoSite.

  • Page 51: Equipment Protection

    Equipment Protection To protect your ultrasound system, transducer, and accessories, follow these precautions. Excessive bending or twisting of cables can cause a failure or intermittent Caution: operation. To avoid damaging the power supply, verify the power supply input is within the correct voltage range.

  • Page 52: Biological Safety

    If the battery emits an odor or heat, is deformed or discolored, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it and stop using it. If you have any questions about the battery, consult SonoSite or your local representative.

  • Page 53: The Alara Principle

    The ALARA Principle ALARA is the guiding principle for the use of diagnostic ultrasound. Sonographers and other qualified ultrasound users, using good judgment and insight, determine the exposure that is “as low as reasonably achievable.” There are no set rules to determine the correct exposure for every situation.

  • Page 54: Direct Controls

    Direct Controls The selection of exam type limits acoustic output through default. The acoustic output parameters that are set at default levels based on exam type are the mechanical index (MI), thermal index (TI), and the spatial peak temporal average intensity (ISPTA). The system does not exceed an MI and TI of 1.0 for all exam types.

  • Page 55: Acoustic Output Measurement

    Acoustic Output Measurement Since the initial use of diagnostic ultrasound, the possible human biological effects (bioeffects) from ultrasound exposure have been studied by various scientific and medical institutions. In October 1987, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) ratified a report prepared by its Bioeffects Committee (Bioeffects Considerations for the Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound, J Ultrasound Med., Sept.

  • Page 56: Tissue Models And Equipment Survey

    Tissue Models and Equipment Survey Tissue models are necessary to estimate attenuation and acoustic exposure levels In Situ from measurements of acoustic output made in water. Currently, available models may be limited in their accuracy because of varying tissue paths during diagnostic ultrasound exposures and uncertainties in the acoustic properties of soft tissues.
