Example of highly portable ultrasound device covered for use on COVID-19 patients. The iPAD, with which the device works, is tightly enveloped in plastic film wrap, while the probe is covered with a dedicated sheath (normally used for sterile ultrasound-guided procedures). Donning and doffing the device requires assistance and involves stepwise uncovering, with multiple steps of disinfection before and after removing the covering. Use of the device is restricted to the COVID-19 unit
