8551 • Starting Scanning
Caution
Do not stick anything into the water inlet to clean it. Poking something into this hole can
damage the water channel inside the transducer. You can clean the water channel by flushing
it with water soon after use, before any foreign matter such as scanning gel has a chance to
harden.
Starting Scanning
All equipment must be cleaned and disinfected before use.
Connecting the Transducer
1. Unscrew the connector plug cover on the transducer (if attached).
2. On the connector plug, make sure that the red arrow is aligned with the red dot on the
transducer socket.
3. Pull back the outer locking mechanism and insert the plug in the socket.
4. Release the locking mechanism to secure in place.
When connected the transducer complies with Type B requirements of EN60601-1 (IEC
60601-1).
Changing Frequency
The Multi-Frequency Imaging (MFI) facility enables you to select the scanning frequency.
See the applicable scanner user guide for instructions. The selected frequency is displayed
at the top of the screen.
Using a Transducer Cover
The transducer should be enclosed in a transducer cover or a standard condom. See the
Product Data sheet for a list of available transducer covers.
1. Apply gel to the tip of the transducer. This improves the screen images by preventing
image artifacts caused by air bubbles.
2. Pull the transducer cover over the transducer.
3. Gel also creates a good acoustic contact between the skin and the transducer; there-
fore, apply a small amount to the outside of the cover prior to scanning. Re-apply the
gel frequently to ensure good screen images.
WARNING
Keep all plugs and sockets absolutely dry at all times.
WARNING
Because of reports of severe allergic reactions to medical devices containing latex (natural
rubber), FDA is advising health-care professionals to identify their latex-sensitive patients
and be prepared to treat allergic reactions promptly.
WARNING
Use only water-soluble agents or gels. Petroleum or mineral oil-based materials may harm
the cover material.
