Site~Rite* IV Ultrasound System Operator’s Manual
Chapter 1: Overview
Caution:
Check the alignment of the 7.5 MHz and 9.0 MHz fluid standoff probes at least once a
month, or after a probe has experienced any mechanical impact. Do not use a misaligned
probe for needle guidance. For the alignment test, see Chapter 5.5,
Periodic Probe Testing .
Caution: Only apply commercially available ultrasonic couplant, which has been specifically
formulated for use in medical applications, to the acoustic window (or face) of the probe.
Use water or rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth to remove couplant from the acoustic
window (or face) of the probe.
Caution: Try not to allow ultrasonic couplant to dry on the acoustic window (or face) of the probe.
If the couplant should dry, use water or rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth to remove it.
Never use a tool of any kind to remove dry couplant from the acoustic window (or face)
of the probe.
Caution: Some commercially available probe covers contain latex. Natural rubber latex may cause
allergic reactions. On March 29, 1991, the U.S. FDA issued an alert titled: "Medical
Alert: Allergic Reactions to Latex-Containing Medical Devices." Bard Access Systems
distributes sterile kits that do not contain latex.
Caution:
Do not force the Probe connector. Damage to the connector and system could result.
Caution: Use only warm water or rubbing alcohol for Probe cleaning. Use of hot water
(temperature exceeding 113°F/45°C) may damage the probe.
Caution: During disinfection immerse the probe up to, but not including, the colored
cable bend relief.
Caution: Always snap the needle guides on to the Probe hook. Do not slide the needle guide on to
the needle guide hook, as you may tear the sterile sheath.
Caution:
Any given Ultrasound Procedure should be performed using the principle of ALARA
(As Low As Reasonably Achievable). The Site~Rite IV System holds the acoustic output
of the device constant. The licensed medical practitioner should limit the time of patient
exposure to ultrasonic radiation using the principle of ALARA.
Caution: Only accessories that are approved for use by country and local authorities are to be
connected to the Site~Rite IV Scanner. Use of accessories that are not compliant to
International Electrical Safety Standards may result in device failure.
Notes
Note: If you are using the A/C adapter, the adapter automatically adjusts to the correct
line voltage between 100 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz. The adapter ships with country-specific
wall plugs. Verify that the A/C adapter has the appropriate plug for your country’s
electrical system.
Note: The Probe connector can only be inserted in one direction. If the connector does not fit
into the probe port, turn the connector over and try again.
Note: When in the screens to change the day and time; to discard the changes made to
the time and date, press the Freeze Frame button before saving the changes. The
date format does not change.
Note: When cleaning the system and components, it is important to remove all particles or
other matter from all surfaces and crevices.
Note: For periodic Probe testing, you may use a deeper intersect guide than 1.5 cm, with the 7.5
MHz probe, or a shallower intersect guide, 0.5 cm or 1.0 cm, with the 9.0 MHz probe.
Note: When placing a cold battery in a warm room to charge, the rapid temperature change of the
battery occasionally causes the Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger to switch from the Rapid Charge
mode to Pending Charge mode (within a few minutes of turning on). If this occurs, remove the
Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger from the AC power and remove the battery from the molded
battery charger connector; and wait a few moments before reconnecting the Site~Rite Mini
Battery Charger to AC power and the battery to the molded battery charger connector.
Note: Use of the battery packs in low temperatures reduces battery life.
Note: You must follow any local safety requirements when attaching non-Bard Access Systems
manufactured accessories.
Note: When placing a cold battery in a warm room to charge, the rapid temperature change of
the battery occasionally causes the Charge~Rite Battery Charger to switch from the Fast
Charge mode to Slow Charge mode prematurely (within a few minutes of turning on). If
this occurs, turn Charge~Rite Battery Charger off and wait a few moments before turning
Charge~Rite Battery Charger back on.
