7-8-1 Probe recognition
Check all of the probes on all the ports. Remove all of the probes, and then check each probe singly in
every port.
• If only one probe fails to be recognized, clean User Defs to check if the problem is caused by
corrupted presets. If the problem is not resolved, replace the probe.
7-8-2 IC/RIC5-9 CHI M-Mode too dark
With IC5-9 and RIC5-9 probes CHI M-Mode appears too dark compared to B-Mode image and is limited
on the amount it can be brightened. Fundamental M-Mode gain is acceptable.
Use Anatomical M-Mode.
7-8-3 ML6-15 breast B and color flow “zipper artifact”
With ML-6-15 probes, a zipper artifact may appear. Try the following to resolve:
• Decrease the frame rate to minimize artifact.
• Change FR to 0 (this causes a slower FR).
• Do not use during a biopsy.
• Decrease depth to above 4 cm’s.
7-8-4 Body pattern probe mark shift
If system is set to active body pattern on freeze, the body pattern will shift to the right on freeze. If it is
then moved back it will save as desired.
Do not activate body pattern on freeze.
