Ultrasound transmission Gel

Using an inappropriate ultrasound gel may damage the probe. For proper transmission of the acoustic beam,

only use ultrasound transmission gel only approved by Samsung Medison. Refer to the table of ‘Cleaning and

Disinfecting the Probe’ section this chapter for detail.

CAUTION:

X

The use of inappropriate ultrasound gels could result in damages in the probe. Using damaged

probe could cause injuries such as electric shock in users or patients.

X

Do not use ultrasound gels or contact media that contain the following contents.

− Oils such as mineral oil, cooking oil, gasoline, solvents, rust inhibitors, lanolin, paraffin-based

grease, ester and excessive silicon-based release agent.

− Alcohols such as acetone, methanol, plasticizer (dioctylphtalate) or denatured alcohols.

− Glacial acetic acid and iodine.

− All types of lotions or gels that contain aromatic substances.

Sheaths

Sheaths are recommended for clinical applications of an invasive nature, including intraoperative, transrectal,

transvaginal, and biopsy procedures. Samsung Medison does not supply sheaths so that you should purchase

appropriate ones on your own.

WARNING:

X

Always keep sheaths in a sterile state.

X

Sheaths are disposable. Do not reuse them.

X

If sheaths are torn or soiled after use, wash and disinfect the probe.

X

In neurosurgical applications, a disinfected probe must be used with sterile gel and a sterile

pyrogen-free sheath.

X

If the sterile sheath becomes compromised during neurosurgical applications involving a patient

with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the probe cannot be successfully sterilized by any disinfection

method.

X

Some sheaths contain natural rubber latex and talc, which can cause allergic reactions in some

individuals. Please refer to the FDA Medical Alert released on March 29, 1991.
