ANIMAL EXAMINATION
The device and accessories should be prepared before work.
1.
Switch on the power supply and check whether the indicator is not signaling that the batteries
require loading up. Fully charged batteries ensure over 6 hours of regular work of conducting animal
examination.
2.
Examination requires a special gel. (you are asked to use gels recommended for ultrasound scanning,
best after assuring that they have special certificates allowing appliance).
The good gelation enhances the penetration of signals and allows obtaining reliable and clear
images.
Before starting work, make sure whether there is enough gel required for all the planned
examinations.
The best results are attained using a high density gel which is not shoving off easily from the head
of the probe. Such gel improves the comfort of work.
The obtained results are affected by a few factors, among others the preparation of the animal, placing
the head, penetration surface, amount of gel and the skills of the user.
The belt fastened to the scanner enables the regulation of his length and the tilt angle of the device. The
regulation should be done accordingly to the needs of the user before conducting an examination.
During an examination, a keyboard is used for choosing the best settings for a given situation.
