A wireless probe has a limited inherent risk of a disrupted connection due to various factors that could lead to loss of real time imaging.
WARNING If a temporary, unexpected disruption to real time imaging is determined to have a severely negative adverse effect on the patient’s health outweighing the benefits of using an ergonomic wireless probe at the point of care, it is recommended to consider using a wired ultrasound device for the specific procedure guidance. Do not freeze the image during a guided procedure. The image must be live to avoid a positioning error.
CAUTION When performing a guided procedure or a freehand biopsy, i.e., without a biopsy guide, it is the user’s responsibility to use appropriate equipment. Ensure that the needle (especially the needle tip) is always visible in the ultrasound image during the whole procedure. Always use only B-mode when performing guided procedures or a freehand biopsy. The invasive nature of biopsy procedures requires proper preparation and technique to control infection and disease transmission. Equipment must be cleaned as appropriate for the procedure prior to use
• Follow the probe cleaning and disinfection procedures and precautions to properly prepare the probe.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the cleaning of biopsy devices and accessories.
• After use, follow proper procedures for decontamination, cleaning, and waste disposal.
