Connection and Settings
1) Confirm that the probe is cleaned, disinfected and sterilized.
2) It is recommended to use a disposable probe cover for preventing
a patient from infection and the probe cover should be made of allergy
free material to avoid allergic reaction.
3) Connect the probe to the ultrasound diagnostic scanner and operate
the scanner and adjust the image according to the instructions given
in the operation manual for the ultrasound diagnostic scanner.
4) Put proper quantity of sterilized acoustic jelly on the probe head
as a couplant. (See Fig. 2.)
5) Put a probe cover on the probe and draw the probe cover until the
end of the probe shaft. To avoid air bubbles, be careful to press
the probe cover gently against probe head and to keep jelly on the
probe head. If air bubbles appear on the probe head, remove air
bubbles by pushing jelly with finger. (See Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.)
