Special attention should be paid for a probe cover made of
latex. Latex may cause allergic reactions such as itching,
rubor, urticaria, swelling, fever, anhelation, wheezing,
depression of blood pressure, and shock.
If you observe any of above-mentioned symptoms in your
patient 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.
