8 June 2019 E14C4t User Guide (16-01265-EN-07)
Connecting the Transducer
The transducer is connected to the system using the array transducer socket on the
system. To connect, flip the system’s locking lever to the right. Align the transducer
plug to the system socket and insert securely. Flip the system’s locking lever to the
left to lock it.
When connected, the transducer complies with Type BF requirements of EN60601-1
(IEC 60601-1).
Changing Frequency
The Multi-Frequency Imaging (MFI) facility enables you to select the imaging
frequency. See the applicable system user guide for instructions.
Using a Transducer Cover
BK recommends the use of a sterile transducer cover to reduce the risk of cross-
contamination. See the Product Data Sheet for a list of available transducer covers.
Follow local guidelines for the use of transducer covers in your area.
NOTE: In the United States of America, it is recommended to use transducer covers
that have been market cleared. In Canada, use only licensed transducer covers. In
Europe, transducer covers must be CE-marked.
WARNING T-w5
To prevent electrical shock and damage to the transducer, the connector pins in the
transducer plug must always be completely dry before you connect to a system.
WARNING GS-w4a
It is essential for the patient’s safety that only the correct equipment is used.
•
Do not use other manufacturers’ transducers with BK ultrasound systems.
•
Do not use BK transducers with other manufacturers’ systems.
•
Do not use unauthorized combinations of transducers and needle guides.
WARNING T-w12
To avoid patient injury or damage to a transducer, extra caution may be required when you
use a mechanical stepper cradle or robotic accessory with the transducer. This is particularly
important when adjusting the cradle/bed position after the transducer has been inserted
into the patient. The stepper cradle or robotic accessory may exert excessive force when the
transducer position is adjusted, which could harm the patient or damage the transducer.
WARNING TC-w1
Some transducer covers can contain latex. Because of reports of severe allergic reactions to
medical devices containing latex (natural rubber), the FDA advises health-care professionals
to identify their latex-sensitive patients and be prepared to treat allergic reactions promptly.
