WARNINGS
To turn on the guideline
Before imaging with the P11x transducer, consider using a standard transducer to visualize the anatomy that
includes the intended target. For more information, see the ultrasound system user guide.
Do not rely solely on the visibility of the needle tip on the system display. Use other tactile or visual indicators
to confirm you are at or in the vessel. (Example: indentation of anterior wall, decreased resistance as the needle
enters the vessel lumen, or blood return in the needle.)
1 Choose an exam type: Press the EXAM key, and select from the menu.
2 Press Guide. A dotted guideline appears on the display.
Imaging with the P11x transducer
Applying too much force with the needle clamp engaged may lead to needle
bending, needle breakage, inaccurate needle tracking, or loss of the needle
graphic on the ultrasound system.
Twisting the syringe to disengage from the needle hub can cause the needle to
spin in the clamp, resulting in misorientation of the needle bevel. This
misorientation can direct the guide wire into the vessel wall, leading to
procedure delay, patient discomfort, or patient injury.
Needle bending due to torquing to reposition the needle in tissue may lead to
procedure delay from feed wire difficulties or an inability to aspirate.
Application of too much needle force with the needle clamp engaged, or
attempting to reposition the needle in tissue, may lead to needle breakage, and,
subsequently, procedure delay, patient discomfort, or patient injury.
Failure to orient the needle bevel correctly can lead to difficulty advancing the
guide wire, procedure delay, patient discomfort, or patient injury.
Virtual needle position error due to transducer, kit, or ultrasound system failure
can lead to procedure delay, patient discomfort, or patient injury. Stop the
procedure and contact FUJIFILM SonoSite if the system displays warnings or if
you notice atypical virtual needle behavior, such as needle image misalignment
to the ultrasound image, flashing, or disappearing.
Attempting to reorient the transducer with the needle inserted can lead to
procedural delay, patient discomfort, or patient injury.
Partial engagement of the needle clamp or failure to fully set the needle clamp
can lead to procedure delay, patient discomfort, or patient injury.
Inserting the needle at too steep of an angle may lead to procedure delay due to
difficulty feeding a guide wire or having to restart the procedure.
