Replacing the wand sleeves between patients
The wand sleeves are intended for single-patient use and must be disposed of and replaced after each patient
in order to avoid cross-contamination.
CAUTION: Dispose of used sleeves according to standard operating procedures or local regulations
for the disposal of contaminated medical waste.
To replace the wand sleeve:
Pressing lightly on the center of the sleeve, pull the sleeve slowly off the wand and discard.
