Working In A Sterile Environment; Maintenance - SonoSite SonoRemote Control Guia Del Usuario

• Before the ultrasound procedure, test the
connection. See "Testing the connection" on
page 5.
• If you work in emergency settings, make sure
to set up your remote control before entering
the workplace. Plan enough time to train and
connect it.
• If using multiple remote controls with one
ultrasound system, make sure that the
previously used remote control is
disconnected. Check the Bluetooth Devices
list to verify that the MAC address for the
connected remote control matches the remote
control you use.
Working in a sterile
environment
WARNING: To avoid contamination after
encasing the remote control in a
sterile sheath, inspect the sheath for
holes or tears.
Some transducer sheaths contain
natural rubber latex and talc, which
can cause allergic reactions in some
individuals. Refer to 21 CFR 801.437,
User labeling for devices that contain
natural rubber.
If the remote control is outside the
sterile field and fails to respond to
voice commands during the
ultrasound procedure, use the
controls on the ultrasound system.
Take proper precautions to
maintain the sterile environment.

Working in a sterile environment

If you work in a sterile environment, consider
including the following tasks when setting up:
• Protect the sterile environment from the
remote control by doing one of the following:
• Encasing the remote control in the
recommended sterile sheath.
• If using voice commands, putting the
remote control under the gown in a pocket
or in a holster designed for mobile
devices. However, take precautions to
ensure that you can use the remote control
buttons or the ultrasound system controls
if the remote control fails to respond to
voice commands.
• If using voice commands, put on the
microphone before putting on the gown.
• If connecting by USB cable, encase the USB
cable in a sterile sheath. See "Sterile sheaths"
on page 10.
• If using voice commands and if the remote
control will be outside the sterile field, turn on
the remote control before setting up the sterile
field, or turn it on using a sterile technique.
Be aware that the remote control enters power
save mode after a period of inactivity. See
"Power save mode" on page 3.
