Use Sterile Puncture Adapter EZU-PA7V (Option) certainly for
biopsy.
3)
Never use the Sterile Puncture Adapter if the adapter is
deformed, cracked or damaged.
4)
Do not use a probe cover made of latex for latex sensitive
patients. The latex probe cover may cause allergic reactions
such as itching, rubor, urticaria, swelling, fever, anhelation,
wheezing, depression of blood pressure, and shock.
5)
The ultrasound jelly which is an accessory of Hitachi
ultrasound scanner is not sterile jelly, so never use it for
C41V1.
6)
Do not disassemble, modify, or repair the probe.
Electric shock
or other unforeseen accidents could result.
7)
Wear medical gloves during examination. Conducting
examinations with the bare hands can expose the operator to
a risk of infection.

a risk of infection. Stop the operation and perform the
inspection, cleaning, and disinfection or sterilization
according to section 2 "Inspection before Use" and section 5

document of the contrast agent, otherwise unexpected accidents
could result. Check the state of the patient and take
appropriate precautions to avoid side effects.
10)
During a biopsy, use sterilized physiological saline for the
acoustic medium. Using an unsterilized ultrasound medium can
cause an infection on the patient.
11)
For details about the reuse and disposal of the biopsy needle,
follow the instructions in the documentation supplied with the
