Instructions for Use
Gel Pad
Before use, examine the gel pad for any material flaws. Thinning, bulging, or brittleness of the
material indicates damage. Any product showing flaws should not be used.
Storage
Do not store the gel pads below 40°F (5°C) nor above 135°F (57°C). Gel pads have a limited
shelf life. Before use, examine these products for any material flaws. Some packaging may list
an expiration date. Any product showing flaws, or whose expiration date has passed, should
not be used.
Needle Guide Bracket Kits
WARNING:
If a needle guide becomes contaminated with tissue or fluids of a patient known to
have Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, then the needle guide should be destroyed. Sterilization is not
effective against Creutzfeldt-Jacob contamination.
Needle guide bracket kits are available for biopsy and puncture procedures for specific
transducers.
Storage and Transportation
Always clean and sterilize or high-level disinfect components used in a needle puncture or
biopsy procedure after each use.
Refer to the in-box instructions for storage and transportation information for all needle guide
accessories except as noted below.
Storing or Transporting the EC-1 Bracket Kit
Do not use the carrying case for storing the bracket assembly. If the carrying case is used
for storage, it may become a source of infection.
The bracket assembly must be stored and transported under the following environmental
conditions:
–
Ambient temperature:
-10°C to 60°C
–
Relative humidity:
30% to 95% (no condensation)
–
Atmospheric pressure:
700 hPa to 1060 hPa
Between examinations, keep the bracket assembly in a sterile environment.
When the biopsy adapter is transported to a different hospital or clinic or is sent to your
Siemens representative for repair, be sure to sterilize it and keep it in the carrying case for
transportation to prevent infection.
