Warning: The Pinpoint* Gel Cap contains potassium metabisulfite and carrageenan which may cause allergic reactions in certain patient populations. Patients with known sensitivity to these ingredients should avoid contact with the gel. 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.
Instructions For Use
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 to 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.

6 USING SITE~RITE PREVUE* ULTRASOUND SYSTEM WITH PINPOINT* ACCESSORIES For proper use of Pinpoint* Accessories refer to the Pinpoint* Instructions for Use (IFU).
6.1 Ultrasound Guidance for Vascular Access Scanning Technique: Very lightly scan patient to reduce vessel compression by holding probe with thumb and index finger (C Grip).
Vessel Identification: Veins can be distinguished from an artery by lightly pressing down on the vessel with the probe. With a viable vein the vessel will compress, with an artery the vessel will usually pulsate (unless low blood pressure), and a non-patent vein will not compress.
Viable vein Artery Non-patent vein
Compressible Pulsatile Non-Pulsatile non-compressible
Instructions For Use
Vessel Access: Identify vessel access by the anterior vessel wall indenting, once the puncture occurs the vessel will return to normal shape. Additional indications of vessel access may include needle visualization on the ultrasound image and blood flash. Needle Visualization: The needle may be visualized on the ultrasound image once it intersects the ultrasound beam.
Needle Visualization
Warning: The Pinpoint* Gel Cap contains potassium metabisulfite and carrageenan which may cause allergic reactions in certain patient populations. Patients with known sensitivity to these ingredients should avoid contact with the gel. 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).

Instructions For Use
Note: The length in vessel values are an approximate value. The actual length may vary based on tissue compression, probe angle, and gel height. Note: Although a catheter is fully advanced, the entire catheter does not reside in the vessel. A portion of the catheter is left in the tissue and is required to reach the vessel. Note: Ensure the VAD Selected Length on the Site~Rite Prevue* matches the actual VAD length used during access otherwise the Length in Vessel values may be incorrect.
