・ Do not use the probe if the image and the frequency do not
match the probe. An incorrect acoustic output can result
in burns or other injuries to the patient.
・ Scan for the minimum length of time necessary for the
diagnosis and at the lowest possible output. There is the
possibility that the patient's tissues could be affected.
For details about the acoustic output, please refer to the
operation manual of the ultrasound diagnostic instrument.
・ Do not hold the needle cannula of the electrosurgical unit
with metal tweezers, forceps, and the like.
[Doing so may damage the insulation section of the needle
cannula, and may cause a burn to a non–treated area.]
The needle guideline can be displayed on US image for perineal
prostate biopsy. This probe can be used for biopsy with the
Puncture Guide Fixture EZU-PA3U.
When the needle guideline is displayed, numeric value is
displayed on the upper right of the US image. This numeric value
means the distance between the surface of acoustic lens and the
needle guideline (see the figure in the next page). Regarding
the needle guideline, refer to the instruction manual of the
ultrasound scanner that the ultrasound probe is connected to.
The numeric value on the image corresponds to the numeric value
engraved on the Puncture Guide Fixture EZU-PA3U. For example,
when the Movable Part for guiding the needle is fixed at 10mm
position, then the numeric value in the upper right on US image
is needed to be adjusted to 10mm. The Movable Part for guiding
the needle and the needle guideline can be fixed at from 10 to
50mm in 5mm steps.
Note that the position of the numeric value on the US image is
different in each ultrasound scanner.
Make sure that there is no damage to the Puncture Guide Fixture
prior to each use, otherwise the needle or needle cannula might
be damaged.
