PERFORMING UBM SCANS
WARNING: Contact between the moving transducer element and the eye may result in
injury. When performing a UBM procedure, the user must visually gauge the distance of the
transducer to the cornea and ensure that a safe distance between the two is maintained at
all mes.
WARNING: The DGH1500 UBM probe must be used with a ClearScan® probe cover in
order to reduce the risk of paent to paent infecon, corneal injury (due to accidental
contact with the oscillang transducer) and potenal adverse biological responses.
WARNING: Before each procedure, the ultrasound probe and removable transducer must
be cleaned and disinfected. ClearScan® covers cannot be cleaned or reused. Refer to
the Cleaning and Disinfecon secon.
NOTE: The Pulse Power slider adjusts the amount of energy used to pulse the transducer.
Exams are typically performed at the highest Pulse Power unless the image is
saturated and beer denion between ssue structures is desired.
NOTE: The [SCAN] and [RECORD] buons can be congured to operate together or
independently. Refer to the B-Scan Page Preferences secon for more informaon.
1. Create a new paent or select an exisng paent on the Paent Screen.
2. Select the “B-Scan/UBM” screen tab. If necessary, click the [CHANGE EYE]† buon to
change the eye being scanned (OD or OS).
3. Select the desired probe, frequency and depth from the drop down boxes. Select the name
of the Operator performing the measurement. If desired, use the Posion Map to indicate
the area of the eye being examined.
NOTE: If the operator is not listed in the “Operator” drop-down box, add the new operator
by selecng Preferences > Operator and clicking the [NEW] buon.
4. Seat or recline the paent in a comfortable posion. Minimize head movement during the
exam. Posion the computer display so that it is easily visible during the examinaon.
5. Insert the probe into the ClearScan®. Refer to Page 20 for instrucons on Using Clearscan®
Covers To Perform UBM or Anterior Segment Examinaons.
6. To Start scanning†: - Click the [START SCAN] buon; or
- Press the Space Bar (keyboard); or
- Press the Foot Pedal (Single Pedal accessory); or
- Press the Le Foot Pedal (Double Pedal accessory).
7. Direct the paent to look in the desired direcon. It may be necessary to hold back the
paent’s eyelid or brow to properly expose the eye for scanning. Gently apply the
ClearScan® bag to the cornea.
