TVS diodes to ADG4613 analog inputs

Question

Hi, I would to know if I can or it is necessary to install TVS diodes to the analog inputs of the ADG4613 device. The motivation is to protect the device from ESD issues, since the inputs will be direct connected to the SMA connectors. The max. voltage range into the input signals will be +/-5Vdc. 
 
 Thank you, 
 Rodrigo
