For use with GE Healthcare C1-5-D transducer

Introducing the next generation guidance system, incorporating both tracking technology and needle guidance capabilities into a single reusable bracket. These unique brackets with pink sensor mounts are designed to hold customized electromagnetic tracking sensors (EMT) in close proximity to the ultrasound transducer while connected to your ultrasound system. When ready for puncture, a disposable Ultra-Pro II needle guide locks onto the bracket providing a fixed path directing instruments according to on-screen software guidelines. The Ultra-Pro II features a larger tab for improved quick-release function, allowing easy detachment of the needle from the transducer. Easy-to-read gauge sizes on the inserts make it simple to identify and alter gauges in a darkened ultrasound suite. The guide features a large funnel for instrument insertion and will accept a full range of sizes including: 8.5FR, 14-23GA (19GA not available).

The convenient Volume Navigation Guidance System Starter Kit is available with one reusable VNAV bracket and five sterile procedure kits including: Ultra-Pro II needle guide, telescopically-folded CIV-Flex transducer cover, gel packet and colored elastic bands. Non-sterile probe clips are also included for easy connection of sensor cables. U.S. Patent No. 5,941,889. Other U.S. Patents Pending.
