Intended Use

Transducer Probe Cover placed over diagnostic ultrasound transducer/ probe scan head instruments. The cover allows use of the transducer in scanning and needle guided procedures for external intact skin diagnostic ultrasound, while helping to prevent transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material to the patient and healthcare worker during reuse of the transducer. The cover also provides a means for maintenance of a sterile field. Transducer Probe Cover are furnished sterile; single use patient/procedure, disposable.

Device Story

Device is a transparent, thin-walled polyurethane sleeve with rubber ring/tape strip; applied over diagnostic ultrasound transducer heads. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers during ultrasound scanning and needle-guided procedures on external intact skin. Function: acts as a physical microbial barrier to prevent transfer of body fluids, microorganisms, and particulates between patient and probe; maintains sterile field. Application: user applies sterile coupling gel to transducer face or inside cover, inserts probe, and unrolls cover over length of transducer; secured with bands. Removal: reverse of application. Benefits: facilitates easier probe cleaning/disinfection; protects patient and staff; does not impair ultrasound imaging. Device is sterile, single-use, and disposable.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance verified via ISO 10993 (biocompatibility: cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, hemolysis), ISO 11607-1 (sterilization/shelf life), ASTM F1671-13 (viral penetration), ISO 527-3 (tensile strength/elongation), and ISO 9073-4 (tear resistance). Acoustic properties (impedance, velocity, attenuation) confirmed to have negligible effect on ultrasound imaging.

Technological Characteristics

Material: 0.05mm thick, 49 GSM polyurethane film. Form factor: tubular sleeve with heat-sealed distal end, various dimensions. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO) to SAL 10^-6. Connectivity: None (mechanical barrier). Standards: ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), ISO 11607-1 (packaging), ASTM F1671-13 (viral barrier), ISO 527-3/ISO 9073-4 (mechanical properties).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a protective barrier over diagnostic ultrasound transducers during scanning and needle-guided procedures on external intact skin to prevent cross-contamination and maintain a sterile field. Intended for single-use, disposable application.

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.
