Vivid S70 / S60 – User Manual 13-13
BC092760-1EN 01
NOTE: Before using the AcuNav
TM
ultrasound catheter please read the
ACUSON AcuNav
TM
Ultrasound Catheter User Manual where
you will find:
• Technical description of the catheter and connector.
• Safety and care information for the catheter and connector.
• Procedures for preparing, conducting, and ending an
examination.
CartoSound
In order to help reduce the noise level, please ensure that:
• The facility grounding is connected via a ground potential
equalization (equipotentiality) cable to the terminal located
in the rear of the system (marked with symbol).
• External ferrite filter is placed around the ‘Swiftlink’ probe
cable.
AirScan Mode
The Vivid S70 / S60 automatically detects whether the ICE
ultrasound catheter scans in air and enters a lower power mode
to avoid probe surface overheating.
Once the cathether is inserted into the patient vessel/lumen, the
ICE ultrasound cathether returns to regular scaning mode.
In some cases, noise artifacts may appear in the ultrasound
image when using (ICE) ablation catheters and Carto mapping
system is active.
On some rare occasions, the system may falsely detect that
the ICE cathether is in air and stop the scanning even while the
catheter is inserted in the patient. In this case a message will
appear and the scanner will enter AirScan mode. In such a
case press the Freeze button twice to resume normal
scanning.
Start scanning in air and see that the system enters AirScan
mode in less than 5sec.
