VIII. Operational and technical comments
Prepare the device and accessories before starting the work.
•
Turn the power on and check if low battery is signalled.
•
There is a special micro-valve implemented inside the USB connector for pressure
compensation. The connector cap shall be slightly loosen while transport or during
normal operation (unscrewed about 0.5 to 1 turn). This way the pressure will
automatically compensate inside the scanner. The cap shall be tightened while washing
the scanner or while the device may be at risk of the direct contact with water.
•
A special gel is necessary to carry out the examination (please use gels recommended
for ultrasonography, ideally after making sure that they have special certificates
authorising their use). Using other substances may be uncomfortable and ineffective
and cause adverse effects. A generous portion of gel improves signal penetration and
makes it possible to achieve a proper and clearer image. Before starting work it's good
to make sure id there is enough gel for the planned examination.
•
Images obtained during the penetration are influenced by a number fo factors, such as
the place of applying the head, penetration surface (i.e. the manner of applying the
head), amount of gel and, of course, experience and skills of the operator.
•
During the examination, a keyboard is used to set the best parameters for operation in
specific conditions. Gain control option should be used. The device 'remembers'
previously used gain settings for individual scanning depths. A focusing function should
be used, which contributes to obtaining more legible results for the examined object.
It is necessary to protect the head of the probe and the cable against physical
damage.
Remember:
- To put the cable properly. Improper placement and twisting of the cable leads to its
damage.
- To put the probe and the cable properly in the case. Avoid squeezing of the cable by the
case’s cover. It may cut the wire.
- To keep the probe in a proper and safe place.
Typical symptoms
Actions to check the problem
Power off - the device won't turn off
Check if the pack is properly connected.
2. check operation with another pack
Improper image or lack of image
1. check if the head is properly connected and the
connector is locked.
Image is too dark or too bright
1. check gain, gamma, MHz settings or enable factory
settings
No charging signal in the charger.
1. check connections
2. check power supply
Short battery operating time
1. battery was not fully charged
2. v. low ambient temperature
3. battery is worn (a normal symptom resulting from the
battery's construction and rules
of using the battery)
