Puncture line for UA1251 with 8804
The transducer and puncture attachment can be removed without disturbing the position of
the needle during puncture.
Cleaning after Puncture and Biopsy
If biological materials are allowed to dry on the transducer or puncture attachments, disin-
fection and sterilization processes may not be effective. Therefore, you must clean puncture
attachments and transducers immediately after use.
Use a suitable brush to make sure that biological material and gel are removed from all nee-
dle guides and other channels and grooves. See
Transducer Care, Cleaning & Safety
for
cleaning instructions.
Disposal
When the transducer is scrapped at the end of its life, national rules for the relevant mate-
rial in each individual land must be followed. Within the EU, when you discard the trans-
ducer, you must send it to appropriate facilities for recovery and recycling. See the
applicable scanner user guide for further details.
WARNING
For contaminated disposals such as transducer covers or needle guides, follow disposal con-
trol policies established for your office, department or hospital.
