What is it indicated for?
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, central nervous system, and intra-operative 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. The cover also provides a means for maintenance of a sterile field. The cover is single use patient / procedure, non-pyrogenic, and disposable.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
