Note: The Dopplex control unit
will automatically switch off at a
predetermined time after
switching the unit on. See control
unit IFU for more information.
GENERAL OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
Connect the Probe adaptor to the Dopplex cable,
using the alignment mark on the barrel.
Locate the probe adaptor into the probe holder at
the side of the
Dopplex control unit. The Dopplex
control unit can then be mounted onto an IV pole
using the clamp as shown in Fig.1.
Following sterilisation, remove the probe from its
packaging and insert plug into adaptor. Always
maintain sterility of the probe.
After use, the probe should be disconnected from
the main unit by carefully gripping the connector
and pulling it from the probe adaptor.
DO NOT PULL ON THE PROBE CABLE.
Refer to inside front cover for Clinical Applications.
During Use
An automatic diathermy noise reduction feature operates on high level signals to reduce
interference.
After Use
The control unit and the body of the probe are robust and require no special handling.
However, the probe tip is delicate and must be handled with care.
The Dopplex control unit can be switched on by a member of staff who is outside the sterile
fi eld.
Ensure that the probe connector is fully engaged in the socket on the probe adaptor.
Correct operation of the system should be con fi rmed by placing the probe tip wetted with
patient’s body fl uid on an artery which is known to have blood fl owing through it. A clearly
audible pulsatile Doppler sound should be heard when the probe is at an angle of
approximately 45° to the vessel. (Fig. 2 - overleaf).
