Air bubbles may appear in the water standoff condom. You must remove the air
bubbles to avoid artifacts on the ultrasound image.

Hold the transducer with the water standoff condom pointing downwards and
use the syringe to aspirate as much air as possible.
9 Refill the water standoff condom with degassed water. Repeat this procedure
until there is no air left in the water standoff condom.
10 Remove enough water from the water standoff condom to allow the system to
pass through the BK Medical rectosigmoidoscope.
11 Lubricate the entire outer surface of the water standoff condom with a glycerine-
based lubricant.
The transducer is designed to pass through Rectosigmoidoscope UA0672,
Rectosigmoidoscope UA0673 or single-use Rectosigmoidoscope UA0683.
The transducer is now prepared for an endorectal examination.
Caution: You must lubricate the condom before you insert the system into the
rectosigmoidoscope. The lubricant must be glycerine-based.
Caution: If you use a rectosigmoidoscope that you do not purchase from BK Medical, it
must be fully cylindrical and have an inner diameter of at least 21 mm.
Caution: You MUST lubricate the outer surface of the water standoff condom before you
introduce the transducer with a water standoff system into a rectosigmoidoscope.
Without lubrication you may not be able to retract the transducer from the
rectosigmoidoscope. This can damage the transducer.
Caution: If the transducer cannot be withdrawn from the rectosigmoidoscope, contact
your BK Medical representative immediately.
