Pay careful attention when you position cursors to make measurements on a scanned
image or on a Doppler curve.

Date
WARNING
Exam-w1
An incorrect date or time will make documentation of the image incorrect and may also
cause some calculated values to be incorrect.
WARNING
Exam-w2b
If, after beginning an exam without entering any Patient information, you want to save an
image, you must verify that the system auto-created a properly configured Patient ID
before exiting the exam. Whenever possible, BK recommends that you also enter a
complete Patient Name.
WARNING

Verify that the patient name and ID are correct.

Before you start to image, verify that the type number on the transducer matches the
number displayed on the monitor. In case of any inconsistency, stop imaging, turn off the
system, and contact your BK service representative.
Using
Doppler
curves
WARNING
M-w2
Drawings of Doppler curves, manual and automatic, are meant as tools for positioning
cursors so that measurements based on the curves can be calculated automatically. The
system has no facilities for checking whether the automatic measurements are
reasonable. Curves drawn on very noisy spectra may lead to misplacement of
measurement cursors. Make sure that measurement cursors are positioned so that the
results are reasonable. If they are not, you must adjust the position of the cursors manually.
