Initial Setup
The ultrasound system is initially unpacked and installed by a Siemens
representative. Your Siemens representative will verify the operation of the
system. Any transducers, documentation and storage devices, accessories,
and options delivered with your system are also connected and installed
for you.
Each day before you use the ultrasound system, perform the Daily Checklist
procedures described below.
Daily Checklist
Perform the following each day before using the ultrasound system:
ˆ
Visually inspect all transducers. Do not use a transducer with a cracked,
punctured, or discolored casing, or a frayed cable.
Discoloration Exception: The use of Cidex OPA and Gigasept FF disinfectants may
cause discoloration of transducer housings. You can continue to use a transducer if it
is discolored due to the use of these specific disinfectants only.
ˆ
Visually inspect all power cords. Do not turn on the power if a cord is
frayed or split, or shows signs of wear.
If your system's power cord is frayed or split, or shows signs of wear,
contact your Siemens service representative for power cord replacement.
ˆ
Verify that the trackball, DGC slide controls, and other controls on the
control panel and LCD are clean and free from gel or other contaminants.
Once the system is powered on:
ˆ
Visually check the on-screen displays and lighting.
ˆ
Verify that the monitor displays the current date and time.
ˆ
Verify that the transducer identification and indicated frequency are
correct for the active transducer.
