Preparation (cont’d)
Install the sheath:
Remove the sheath from its package. Do not
unroll the sheath.
Note: Remember to rinse all sanitary probe sheaths of
powder before placing on the probe. Powder can de-
grade the displayed image.
Place a small amount of ultrasound gel inside the
sheath tip (the gel is between the sheath inner
surface and the probe aperture).
Note: Ensure that only acoustic coupling gel is used for
this purpose.
Place the sheath tip over the probe aperture and
then pull the sheath end toward the probe handle.
Inspect the sheath.

Illustration 74. Probe with Sheath
Place a rubber band/twist lock or clamp over the
sheath end of the probe shaft (Illustration 74).
Ensure the rubber band/twist lock or clamp is tight
around the sheath. Rub a finger over the tip of
the probe to ensure all air bubbles have been re-
moved.
