Haanddlliing
The control unit and the body of the probe are robust and require no
special handling. However, the ultrasound probes have delicate
faceplates and must be handled with care.
Do not apply excess pressure directly to the probe faceplate.
Take great care not to drop or knock the probe, stress the PPG sensor cable or
scratch the sensor face.
Maaiinteenaanccee
Other than normal cleaning and replacement of batteries the Dopplex
units do not require maintenance.
Stooraagee
If your Dopplex unit is to be stored for a long period of time the battery
should be removed.
Clleeaaniing
Excess gel should always be wiped off after use before parking the
ultrasound probes.
The probes and main unit can be cleaned with a damp cloth impregnated with
a mild detergent, but take great care not to allow any water or other fluid to
seep into either unit.
To assist in disinfection, a soft cloth dampened with a solution of sodium
hypochlorite 1000ppm may be used, and the units wiped dry.
Alternatively, alcohol saturated swabs can be used on the faceplate and
nosecone area of the ultrasound probes and on the PPG sensor.
Please be sure to check your local control of infection policies, or any
equipment cleaning procedures.
Caautiioon
Phenolic, or antiseptic solutions such as Steriscol or Hibiscrub should never be
used on any part of the system, as these chemicals will damage the case
material.
Coouplliing
Geell
The use of water based gel supplied by Huntleigh Healthcare is strongly
recommended. Oil based gels can damage the probe and must not be used.
The use of oil based gels will invalidate your warranty.
