Access using the Cue™ Needle Tracking System (if enabled)
1.
Prepare the Site~Rite® Ultrasound System:
a.
Verify the battery charge is sufficient for the procedure; otherwise connect the power adapter to the
Site~Rite® 8 Ultrasound System
b.
Enter the patient information as needed
2.
Position the patient and perform the ultrasound assessment
3.
Prepare the sterile field:
a.
Ensure all metallic objects are removed from the surrounding location (at least 4 inches away). If an object,
such as a bed rail, cannot be moved, take precautions to make the object stationary during the procedure
b.
Ensure all magnetic objects (e.g., magnets, mobile phones, electric motors, etc.) are removed from the
surrounding location (at least 3 feet away)
c.
Retrieve the Cue™ Needle Tracking System compatible device and place the tray completely onto the
Activator. When ready, remove the tray from the Activator and drop the device into the sterile field (see
Section 9.2).
d.
Drape the ultrasound probe for sterile use (refer to Probe Cover Instructions for Use)
e.
If applicable, anesthetize the insertion site (per institution protocol)
4.
Prepare for insertion:
a.
Re-scan the anatomy of interest using the Site~Rite® 8 Ultrasound System
b.
Ensure the Performance Indicator indicates and adequate environment for needle tracking (see Section
9.3.2.)
Caution:
Keep the needle and any ferromagnetic objects, e.g., wired undergarments, metal instruments, watches,
jewelry, Activator, electronics, metal bed rails, etc., at least 3 feet away from the probe when calibrating
Failure to do so may impact the accuracy of needle tracking.
Caution:
Equipment operating in close proximity may emit strong electromagnetic or radio frequency interference
which could affect the performance of this device Avoid operating the device near pumps, cauterizers,
diathermy equipment, cellular phones, or other portable and mobile radio frequency communications
equipment. Maintain equipment separation of at least 3 feet.
Caution:
Excessive movement of the probe may result in a temporary loss of needle tracking.

Out-of-Plane
Ultrasound Guided Insertion using the Cue™ Needle Tracking System:
a.
Retrieve the activated needle and move it towards the probe hook at a 45° angle until it is within 0.5cm
from the probe. Ensure the Cue™ Needle Tracking System virtual needle overlay appears on the display
and follows needle movement
Caution:
If needle tracking is not functioning properly, discontinue use of Cue™ Needle Tracking System.
b.
Position the needle by adjusting the insertion angle and distance from the probe to align the Intersection
Window with the intended target structure. A steeper insertion angle may be necessary for deep structures
while a shallow angle may be appropriate for superficial anatomy
c.
While maintaining the needle angle, insert the Cue™ Needle Tracking System compatible needle into the
skin. Refer to the specific device’s Instruction for Use for more information
