Special attention should be paid for a probe cover made out of latex. Latex may
cause allergic reactions such as itching, rubor, urticaria, swelling, fever, anhelation,
wheezing, depression of blood pressure, and shock.
If your patient shows any of the above mentioned symptoms during the operation,
stop the use of the latex protective sleeve immediately and take an appropriate
treatment to the patient.
6) Fix the probe cover with sterile adhesive tape as shown in Fig. 5. Visually inspect the
probe cover for any hole or tears.
7) Insert the probe gentry and adjust the probe's position for a clear view of the desired
image. If the image is not clear enough, use sterile saline solution to have a better
image.
8) After using the probe, clean, disinfect and sterilize the probe immediately. If RVS is
carried out, clean, disinfect and sterilize the Magnetic Sensor Attachment as well as
the Spacer for EZU‐RV2S.
