3-5-3 Connecting Probes
The Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N ultrasound unit operates with various types of probes that are used for
scanning patients, including flat phased, convex and linear electronic array probes. Once connected,
the probes can be selected for different applications.
NOTE: As previously described (see Figure 3-15 on page 3-20 ), probe connectors on the unit are as follows:
• Vivid S6 N system : on the front of the unit there are 5 active probe connectors
(one for a pencil probe, three for RS probes, and one LOGIQ-type for TEE probes only).
• Vivid S5 N system : on the front of the unit there are 4 active probe connectors
(one for a pencil probe, and three for RS probes).
Probes can be connected or changed any time, as described below, regardless of whether the system
is powered ON or OFF.
1) Place the probe’s carrying case on a stable surface and open the case.
2) Inspect the probe socket to verify that it is free of debris.
3) Carefully remove the probe and unwrap the probe cord.
DO NOT allow the probe head to hang freely. Impact to the probe head could result in
irreparable damage.
4) Move the probe connector locking lever to the Left side to open the RS probe port ( Figure 3-83 ).
CAUTION
HANDLE THE PROBE GENTLY WHILE CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING.
DO NOT TOUCH THE PATIENT AND ANY OF THE CONNECTORS ON THE ULTRASOUND UNIT
SIMULTANEOUSLY, INCLUDING ULTRASOUND PROBE CONNECTORS.
