Preparing for Surgery/Intra-operative Procedures
CAUTION
1-64
Preparing the transducer for intra-operative use follows the
same sterile procedure as for biopsy use except that no biopsy
attachments are used. See 'Preparing the Biopsy Guide
Attachment' on page 1-46 for more information. Sterile gel is
applied to the transducer face and a sterile sheath completely
covers the transducer and cable which has first undergone a
thorough cleaning and high-level disinfection.
The invasive nature of biopsy procedures requires proper
preparation and technique to control infection and disease
transmission. Equipment must be cleaned as appropriate for
the procedure prior to use.
For surgery/intra-operative procedures, a sterile environment is
required. Therefore, both the operator and probe needs to be
sterile.
