Transducer Covers
InnoSight Ultrasound System
P6992-4, EN, 16/12/6
Speckle appears as tissue texture close to the transducer but does not correspond to scatterers in tissue It
is produced by ultrasound wave interference and results in general image degradation
Spectral broadening is a display phenomenon that occurs when the number of energy-bearing Fourier
frequency components increases at any given point in time As a consequence, the spectral display is
broadened Spectral broadening can indicate the disturbed flow caused by a lesion, and therefore it is
important diagnostically However, broadening can also result from interaction between flow and sample
volume size, in which case it is an artifact
Speed of sound artifacts occur if the sound propagation path to a reflector is partially through bone, and
the speed of sound is greater than in the average soft tissue Echo position registration artifacts will be
produced Reflectors appear closer to the transducer than their actual distance because of this greater
speed of sound, resulting in a shorter echo transit time than for paths not containing bone
Transducer Covers
To prevent contamination by blood-borne pathogens, sterile transducer covers are required for
intraoperative procedures in China, sterile covers are also required for transrectal and intravaginal
procedures the protective covers are mandatory in China and apan We recommend the use of qualified
covers
Latex and talc are commonly used in sheaths marketed to help with infection control in endocavity
and intraoperative imaging applications Examine the packaging to confirm latex and talc content
Studies have shown that patients can experience allergic reactions with natural rubber latex See
the FDA Medical Alert, March 29, 1991, reprinted in FDA Medical Alert on Latex on page 21
In intraoperative applications, sterilized transducers should be used with sterile gel and a
sterile transducer cover
Sterile transducer covers are disposable and must not be reused
Inspect transducer covers before and after use
Do not apply the transducer cover until you are ready to perform the procedure
If an installed transducer cover is cut or contaminated before use, the transducer should be
cleaned and disinfected or sterilized, and a new sterile cover installed
When using C9-4v endocavity transducers, the transducers must be protected with a transducer
sheath
If a sterile transducer cover becomes compromised during an intraoperative application involving
a patient with transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, such as Creutzfeldt-akob disease,
follow the guidelines of the US Centers for Disease Control and this document from the World
Health Organization: WHO/CDS/ APH/2/3, WHO Infection Control Guidelines for Transmissible
Spongiform Encephalopathies The transducers for your system cannot be decontaminated using
a heat process
