Hitachi C41V1 Instruction Manual page 16

1) 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.
For the patients suspected of latex allergy, do not use the
latex-containing medical devices. If you observe any of above
mentioned symptoms in your patient during the operation, stop
the use of the latex-containing medical devices immediately
and take an appropriate treatment to the patient.
2) The puncture adapter EZU-PA7V and the recommended probe covers
are disposable and must not be reused.
3) Sterilize/disinfect the probe and disinfect the puncture
adapter when the probe cover is torn.
4) Be careful about the use of a needle cannula with the puncture
adapter. If the insulation coating of the needle cannula is
damaged, it may cause a burn to tissue.
5) Use a needle whose size is appropriate for the puncture adapter,
otherwise looseness or tightness of the needle could result
in biopsy at an unintended part and injury to the patient.
6) Display the needle guideline during biopsy. Regarding the
needle guideline, refer to the operation manual of the
ultrasound diagnostic scanner.
