WARNING
To prevent contamination, the use of sterile transducer sheaths and sterile coupling gel is recommended
for clinical applications of an invasive or surgical nature. Do not apply the transducer sheath and gel until
you are ready to perform the procedure.
Installing Sheaths

applications. To lessen the risk of contamination, install the sheath only when you are ready to perform
the procedure.
1.
Place gel inside the sheath.
2.
Insert the transducer into the sheath.
3.
Pull the sheath over the transducer and cable until the sheath is fully extended.
4.
Secure the sheath using the bands supplied with the sheath.
