Instructions For Use
PRECAUTIONS Caution: The adverse biological effects of ultrasound on tissue appear to be threshold effects. When tissue is repeatedly exposed to ultrasound, with intervals in between, there will likely be no cumulative biological effect. If, however, a certain threshold has been passed, biological effects may occur. While the Site~Rite Prevue +™ Ultrasound System acoustic output parameters fall well below all FDA thresholds for adverse biological effects, any given ultrasound procedure should be performed using the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). The licensed medical practitioner should limit the time of patient exposure to ultrasonic radiation using the principle of ALARA. Caution: Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Caution: Do not twist or bend the probe cable in excess of that required during normal use of the probe. Excessive twisting or bending of the cable may cause failure, intermittent or unpredictable operation. Caution: Do not soak the system in any liquid including disinfectants. Doing so may damage the system. Caution: Only apply commercially available ultrasonic couplant, which has been specifically formulated for use in medical applications, to the acoustic window (or face) of the probe. Caution: Use water or isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth to remove couplant from the acoustic window (or face) of the probe. Failure to do so may scratch the acoustic window. Caution: Do not allow ultrasonic couplant to dry on the acoustic window (or face) of the probe. If the couplant should dry, use water or isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth to remove it. Never use a tool of any kind to remove dry couplant from the acoustic window (or face) of the probe. Caution: Do not subject the system to excessive vibration. Vibration may dislodge sensitive components and cause intermittent or unpredictable operation. Caution: Prior to each use, inspect the integrity of all power cords and connectors as well as the integrity of the unit itself. If any problems are found, discontinue use immediately and contact an authorized service representative. Use of a damaged power cord could damage the machine. Caution: During use, the A/C wall plug needs to be easily accessible. In case of emergency remove the power cord as soon as possible. Caution: Get in a comfortable position to avoid unnecessary strain when using the device. Caution: Attach the power source in such a way as to prevent damage. Improper installation may damage power cords. Caution: Inspect the probe prior to each use. If damage to the cable or transducer face is noted, do not use the probe. Damage to the system may occur. Caution: Use only Bard Access Systems cleaning and disinfection procedures and recommended disinfectants. Failure to do so may damage the device. Caution: Do not use the probe with high frequency surgical equipment. Doing so may damage the device. Caution: Some commercially available probe covers contain latex. Natural rubber latex may cause allergic reactions. Refer to the US FDA alert titled: “Medical Alert: Allergic Reactions to Latex-Containing Medical Devices”, issued March 29, 1991. Bard Access Systems distributes sterile probe covers and needle guide kits that do not contain latex. Caution: Always snap the needle guides on to the probe hook. Do not slide on to the needle guide hook, as the sterile sheath may tear. Caution: IV Catheter Length in Vessel information should only be used in conjunction with a Pinpoint™ Needle Guide. Length in Vessel information is not valid with “free hand” insertion. Caution: This system, with its applicable accessories, is intended for use by healthcare professionals only. If used in a domestic environment, this system may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures such as re-orienting or relocating the Site~Rite Prevue™ Ultrasound System or shielding the location.
