NEEDLE GUIDE INTENDED USE The bracket and integrated guide provide physicians with a tool for performing needle-guided (or catheter) procedures with the use of diagnostic ultrasound transducers.

COVER INTENDED USE Protective cover or sheath placed over diagnostic ultrasound transducer / probe / scanhead instruments. The cover allows use of the transducer in scanning and needle guided procedures for body surface, endocavity, and intraoperative diagnostic ultrasound, while helping to prevent transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material to the patient and healthcare worker during reuse of the transducer (both sterile and non-sterile covers). The cover also provides a means for maintenance of a sterile field (sterile covers only). CIVCO Poly Ultrasound Transducer Covers are furnished sterile & non-sterile; single use patient / procedure, disposable.

INDICATIONS FOR USE n n n

Abdominal - Biopsy, Fine-Needle Aspiration, Regional Anesthesia Injections. Regional Anesthesia - Nerve Block, Musculoskeletal Injections. Small Parts - Biopsy, Fine-Needle Aspiration, Regional Anesthesia Injections.

PATIENT POPULATION General Purpose Guidance Systems are intended for use with appropriately sized transducer intended for use on adults of all body habitus, including small or slight frame.

INTENDED USERS General purpose guidance systems should be used by clinicians medically trained in the use and interpretation of ultrasound for interventions. There are no other unique skills or user abilities required for Bracket and Needle Guide use. This may include, but is not limited to: Anesthesiologists, Interventional Radiologists, Nephrologists, Radiologists, Sonographers and Surgeons.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS n

n

General purpose needle guidance system provides accurate needle path with on-screen guidelines, supports wide range of gauge sizes, and incorporates quick-release feature for detachment of guide. Cover serves as a viral barrier to protect patients, users, and equipment from cross-contamination.

CAUTION Federal (United States) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. WARNING n Before use, you should be trained in ultrasonography. For instructions on the use of your transducer, see your system's user guide. n Review product labeling for sterile symbol. If sterile symbol appears on label, cover is sterilized using ethylene oxide. n Sterile product is intended for single-use only. n Do not use if integrity of packaging is violated. n Do not use if expiration date has passed. n Do not reuse, reprocess or resterilize single-use device. Reuse, reprocessing or resterilization may create a risk of contamination of the device, cause patient infection or cross-infection. n Needle guide is packaged non-sterile and is reusable. To avoid possible patient contamination, ensure needle guide is properly cleaned, sterilized or disinfected before each use. n Do not use if needle guide is damaged or does not fit properly. n Use only water-soluble agents or gels. Petroleum or mineral oil based materials may harm cover. n For illustration purposes only, transducer and bracket may be shown without a transducer cover. Always place a cover over transducer and bracket to protect patients and users from cross-contamination. n Ensure no air bubbles are present prior to use. Air left between cover and transducer lens may cause poor image quality.

NEEDLE PATH VERIFICATION n

Before using component for first time, perform needle path verification to verify system and biopsy guide relationships, as described in system user guide.

NOTE: Use appropriate needle length to reach target area.

USING NEEDLE GUIDANCE 1. Place an appropriate amount of gel inside cover and/or on transducer face. Poor imaging may result if no gel is used. 2. Insert transducer into cover making sure to use proper sterile technique. Pull cover tightly over transducer face to remove wrinkles and air bubbles, taking care to avoid puncturing cover. 3. Secure cover with enclosed bands. 4. Inspect cover to ensure there are no holes or tears. 5. Using proper sterile technique, attach needle guide to transducer by aligning locating features.
