Introduction
This P11x Transducer User Guide provides information specific to using the P11x/10-5 MHz transducer with the
®
AxoTrack
I Sterile Procedure Kit on the AxoTrack feature-enabled SonoSite ultrasound systems. Contact your
SonoSite representative if the AxoTrack feature is not enabled.
The user guide is for a reader familiar with ultrasound techniques. It does not provide training in sonography
or clinical practices. Before using the system, you must have ultrasound training. To aid in safeguarding the
patient and ensuring reliable transducer operation, SonoSite recommends users be trained in the use of the
AxoTrack technology. See the following documents.
Refer to your SonoSite ultrasound system instructions on system operations and connecting the transducer.
Refer to Disinfectants for SonoSite Products for a list of products approved for cleaning and disinfecting the
P11x transducer. See www.sonosite.com.
For information on preparing the P11x transducer for use, see AxoTrack I Sterile Procedure Kit: Instructions for
Use. The P11x transducer is designed for needle guidance procedures specifically with the AxoTrack I Sterile
Procedure Kit (manufactured by Soma Access Systems, LLC).
