8838 User Guide (BB1857-H)

The transducer is connected to the system using both the array Transducer Socket and 
the mechanical Transducer Socket. 

To connect the array Transducer Socket

1

Insert transducer plug into socket with locking lever in 3 o’clock position.

2

Turn locking lever on transducer plug clockwise to 6 o’clock position. 

To connect the mechanical Transducer Socket

1

Align red mark on plug with red dot on transducer socket.

2

Insert plug in socket.

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 imaging 
frequency. See the applicable system user guide for instructions. The selected 
frequency is displayed at the top of the screen.

Using a Transducer Cover

You must use a transducer cover. See the Product Data sheet for a list of available 
transducer covers, including sterile covers.

Apply imaging gel or other water-soluble agent inside and outside the cover to create 
good acoustic contact.

To put on the cover:

1

Apply gel to the tip of the transducer so that it covers the entire imaging surface 
(most of the black part of the transducer). You can also put imaging gel inside 
the tip of the cover before you put the cover over the transducer.

Caution 

BK-c4

The system must not be imaging when you connect the transducer. The image must be 
frozen or the system must be turned off. Do not unfreeze the image before you have 
connected the transducer to 

both

 sockets. Otherwise the imaging array in the 

transducer can be parked in an incorrect position, which can lead to incorrect 3D 
representations of the regions being imaged.

WARNING

BK-w13

Do not connect two 8838 transducers simultaneously. The system will produce an 
incorrect 3D volume with only one identical image repeated throughout the entire 
volume. 

WARNING

TC-w1

Some transducer covers can contain latex. Because of reports of severe allergic reactions to 
medical devices containing latex (natural rubber), the FDA advises health-care professionals 
to identify their latex-sensitive patients and be prepared to treat allergic reactions promptly.
