What is it indicated for?
Intraoperative Ultrasound Probe Cover can be used to minimize contamination between the patient and the probe during ultrasound scanning procedures for both intact skin and compromised tissue. The cover allows use of the transducer in scanning and needle guided procedures for body surface, Endo cavity, 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.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
