Use sterile physiological saline solution as the acoustic medium.
Non sterile acoustic medium can cause infection to the patient.
Use a needle which is applicable to the puncture adapter.
Use of the needle not applicable to the puncture adapter can result in puncture at unintended parts and
injury to the patient. For the applicable needle sizes, see the documentation supplied with the puncture
adapter.
Always use a straight needle.
Use of a deformed needle can lead to the puncture at unintended parts and cause injury to the patient.
Handle the puncture needle with care.
Puncture with the used needle can result in infection to the operator or patient.
Display an appropriate puncture guideline on the monitor of the ultrasound diagnostic instrument
during puncture operation.
Puncture without showing the puncture guideline may lead to the puncture at unintended parts.
Display the puncture guideline as an aid in determining the puncturing direction.
Before performing a puncture, confirm the needle echo is displayed on the needle guideline in water at
40 degree Celsius.
Ensure the needle position and safety of the needle path during puncture.
The needle may be deformed and it can result in the puncture at unintended parts and injury to the
patient.
Caution
Maximize the scanning angle to minimize the blind area of puncture. Please refer to the instruction
manual of the ultrasonic diagnositc instrument for setting the scanning angle.
Handle a needle with care not to damage the probe or other options.
Use of the probe damaged by a needle can result in injury to the operator or patient.
