Intended Use
Site~Rite Needle Guide Kits and Site~Rite Probe Cover Kits are intended to be used with Site~Rite Ultrasound Systems. The probe cover sheathes the transducer and isolates a site of surgical penetration from microbial and other contamination. The needle guide provides guidance for a needle to intersect an ultrasound beam at a fixed distance below the skin to assist the medical practitioner in placing the tip of a needle in a specific structure.
Device Story
Single-use sterile disposable kits for ultrasound-guided procedures. Components include polyethylene sheaths, conductive gel, elastic bands, and needle guides (18G, 20G, 21G). Used with Site~Rite Ultrasound Systems in clinical settings by medical practitioners. Probe cover isolates transducer from microbial contamination; needle guide mechanically aligns needle with ultrasound beam at fixed depth. Facilitates accurate needle tip placement in target structures. Benefits include reduced contamination risk and improved procedural guidance accuracy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use sterile disposable kits. Materials: polyethylene sheath, conductive gel, elastic bands. Mechanical needle guide provides fixed-angle alignment with ultrasound beam. Sterilization method utilized. No electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use with Site~Rite Ultrasound Systems to provide a sterile barrier for transducers and to guide needles to specific anatomical structures during ultrasound-guided procedures performed by medical practitioners.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.
