What is it indicated for?
Site-Rite Needle Guide Kits and Site-Rite Probe Cover Kits are intended to be used with Site-Rite Ultrasound Systems. The probe cover sheathes the transducer and isolates a site of surgical penetration from microbial and other contamination. The needle guide provides guidance for a needle to intersect an ultrasound beam at a fixed distance below the skin to assist the medical practitioner in placing the tip of a needle in a specific structure.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
