Removing Air Bubbles
CAUTION
Detach the endoscopic ultrasonic probe from the probe drive unit before
removing air bubbles. Removing air bubbles while both the devices are
connected may damage them.
When shaking the endoscopic ultrasonic probe to remove air bubbles,
exercise caution not to hit the ultrasound head or the probe connector.
Not doing so may damage the endoscopic ultrasonic probe.
(1) Remove air bubbles according to the conditions
of the liquid ultrasound transmission medium in
the ultrasound head.
If air bubbles are
present
Perform steps (3) and (4)
to remove air bubbles.
If the medium is
not present
Perform steps (2) to (4)
to move the medium and
to remove air bubbles.
(2) Leave the ultrasound head downward. Wait
for a while to confirm that the liquid ultrasound
transmission medium is collected in the
ultrasound head.
[Note]
If the liquid ultrasound transmission medium is
not visible around the ultrasound head, contact
your local FUJIFILM dealer.
(3) Hold the endoscopic ultrasonic probe
approximately 5 cm away from its distal end,
and then shake it vigorously with the distal end
pointed downward until air bubbles disappear.
