the ultrasound before removing the Ultrasonic Core from the Infusion Catheter, otherwise, overheating of the device may occur,
potentially causing damage to the device, burns and/or interruption of therapy� If the device is damaged in this manner and then used to
continue therapy, vascular injury or burns could occur�
