An ultrasound probe cover for use with an ultrasound probe comprises a sheath of material configured to substantially envelop the ultrasound probe and to transmit ultrasonic waves emitted by an insonating surface of the ultrasound probe. An insonating surface contacting region of the sheath comprises a contacting region inner surface and a contacting region outer surface. At least one barrier is removably attached to the contacting region inner surface, the contacting region outer surface, or both. Further, the at least one barrier comprises an indicia of a verification procedure to be performed prior to removal of the at least one barrier. A conducting medium may be disposed on the contacting region inner surface and/or the contacting region outer surface and covered by respective inner and/or outer barriers also disposed on the inner and/or outer surfaces.
