Ultrasound Scanning
CAE Blue Phantom products do not teach ultrasound procedures or techniques. Refer to your institution or
training program for more information.
To use this transducer on a training model, you must lubricate both the transducer and the vaginal canal of
the training model with ultrasound gel. This additional step is necessary because unlike live patients, the
training model does not have natural lubrication. Ensure the length of the transducer is well-lubricated prior
to inserting into the training model.
Transducer covers are often used in exams with real patients. Transducer covers are not necessary when
using a training model, but you may use them for realism if desired. If you use a transducer cover, follow
these steps:
1. First, cover the tip of the transducer with gel.
2. Next, place the transducer cover over the endovaginal transducer.
3. Then apply gel to the sheathed transducer in adequate quantities so that the probe slides easily
into the model. Add more gel as needed.
Buildup of dried ultrasound gel should not impair echocardiographic imaging and can easily be cleaned
from the model. For instructions, see the
Care and Maintenance section of this user guide.
To conduct a transvaginal ultrasound examination with your training model:
1. Place the model in the appropriate position for scanning.
2. Place ultrasound gel on the transducer in adequate quantities so that the probe slides easily into
the model. Add more gel as needed.
3. Adjust the ultrasound system controls per your training protocol and the manufacturer’s
instructions. Optimize the image with the ultrasound controls as needed.
CAUTION
You must lubricate the endovaginal transducer and the vaginal canal of the training
model with ultrasound gel, or damage to the model will occur.
