ping packaging. Please make sure that all required informa-
tion has been supplied:
• Name of owner

4.2 Function Test before Use
Before use, the GAMMA FINDER® III must be checked with a
radioactive source (e.g. Co-57, I-125 or Tc-99m). This re-
quires positioning the sensor of the GAMMA FINDER® III
over a radioactive source with the acoustic signal enabled. If
the device works correctly, an activity dependent acoustic
signal is emitted and the GAMMA FINDER® III shows the cor-
responding numerical value.
Make sure that the GAMMA FINDER® III does not show the
service symbol (see Chapter "Care and Mainten-
ance" [
} 41]). If the GAMMA FINDER® III shows the service
symbol, please refer to "Care and Maintenance" [ } 41].
4.3 Use of Sterile Sleeves/Drapes
The GAMMA FINDER® III should be gently inserted into the
sterile sleeve. Use the adhesive strips to secure the sterile
sleeve. The display and pushbuttons must remain visible.
The sterile sleeve allows the device to safely contact to the
skin, tissue and blood of the patient.
Please handle with care. To prevent accidental damage to
the sleeve, do not force the GAMMA FINDER® III into the
sterile sleeve and avoid contact with sharp objects, and con-
stant friction on hard objects.
