4.9 Removing the wand barrier sleeve
The wand barrier sleeves are intended for single-patient use and must be disposed of and replaced after each patient
in order to avoid cross-contamination.
To remove the wand barrier sleeve:
1. Once the scan is complete, or if the scan has to be interrupted, wearing gloves, scrunch the transparent sheath
halfway toward the wand tip.
