GETTI
NG STARTED
The ALARA principle should be observed when adjusting controls that affect
the acoustic output and transducer dwell times should be considered.
Although anaphylactoid reactions are rare, echocardiographic laboratories
that routinely use contrast agent should have policies in place for emergent
resuscitation of patients who may experience serious side effects.
Contrast Media are medicinal products for diagnostic use whose intended
purpose is to enhance the echogenicity of the blood, or of fluids which results
in an improved signal to noise ratio. Those medical products are made
available on the market with an appropriate product labeling including
specific information related to product's indications, contraindication,
posology and precaution for use.
Multifunctional ultrasound scanners are indicated for the use in conjunction
with such kind of medicinal products in order to assist them in achieving their
own specific intended purpose. Esaote does not support or encourage the
off-label use of contrast media
Our Medical devices do not integrate or control the way how these medicinal
products are administered to the patients.
Usually, they are administered via an intravenous injection performed directly
by a medical doctor or by a qualified healthcare professional.
Esaote invites the ultrasound practitioners to read carefully the contrast
media IFU provided by the manufacturer before administering it to the
patient and to follow the appropriate professional guidelines
Vascular and Neonatal Cephalic
At the bone-brain interface US can result in temperature rises above
recommended safety threshold that can potentially alter neuronal structure
and function and affect behavioral and cognitive function.
Scans should be minimized as possible and exposure should be ALARA to
answer the diagnostic question.
Color Doppler should not be utilized except for clearly defined clinical
reasons which provide additional diagnostic or prognostic information.
