1) Warning in case of using probe covers which latex is contained to.
The latex may cause such allergic reactions as itching, rubor,
urticaria, swelling, fever, anhelation, wheezing, depression of
blood pressure, shock and so on.
For the patients suspected of latex allergy, do not use the
latex-containing medical devices. If you observe any of above
mentioned symptoms in your patient during the operation, stop the
use of the latex-containing medical devices immediately and take
an appropriate treatment to the patient.
2) The Ultra-Pro II ™ or the Ultra-Pro3 ™ NEEDLE GUIDE/COVER KIT is
disposable and must not be reused.
3) Sterilize/disinfect the probe and disinfect the needle guide bracket
when a cover tears.
4) Confirm that the needle guide angle corresponds to the angle
indicated on the monitor. The needle guide angle is engraved on
bracket. Otherwise, the biopsy guide line becomes inconsistent with
the inserting position of the biopsy needle.
5) When using the needle cannula of the electrosurgical unit while using
the needle guide bracket as a guide, be careful not to damage the
insulation coating of the needle cannula.
[When inserting or removing the needle cannula into or from the needle
guide, you may damage the insulation coating of the needle cannula,
which may cause a burn to tissue contacting the exposed section of
the insulation coating.]
