3-4 Examination
To install a transducer sheath
1 Place gel inside the sheath.
2 Insert the transducer into the sheath.
3 Pull the sheath over the transducer and cable until the sheath is fully extended.
4 Secure the sheath by taping it to the transducer housing.
5 Check for and eliminate bubbles between the footprint of the transducer and the sheath.
Any bubbles between the footprint of the transducer and the sheath can affect the ultrasound image.
6 Inspect the sheath to ensure that there are no holes or tears.
Emergency retraction
If the transducer tip should get jammed in a deflected position inside the patient and if all attempts to
release the deflected tip should fail, follow the procedure To retract the transducer to assure a safe
retraction of the transducer.
To retract the transducer
1 Disconnect the transducer from the ultrasound system.
2 At an accessible location between the transducer handle and the patient, cut the entire endoscope shaft,
including all internal wiring, using heavy duty cutting pliers or another suitable tool.
The deflection mechanism is now released and the transducer may be safely retracted.
Note FUJIFILM SonoSite recommends the use of market-cleared, transducer sheaths
for intracavitary applications. To lessen the risk of contamination, install the sheath
only when you are ready to perform the procedure.
