3.  Confirm that the needle-guided bracket is securely mounted in the correct position. 
Installing the Needle-guided Bracket 
  NGB-001, NGB-002 and NGB-005 metal/needle un-detachable needle-guided bracket 
(taking NGB-001 as example) 
(1)  Put on the sterile transducer sheath. 
(2)  Inosculate the locating groove on the clamp with the two raised edges on the 
transducer head and aligning the locating pit of the clamp to the convex point on the 
transducer head.   
(3)  Turn the grip knob at the tail of the needle-guided bracket tightly.   
  NGB-001 Metal-detachable 
(1)  Put on the sterile transducer sheath. 
(2)  Hold the transducer by one hand, select the proper needle-guided bracket, and hold 
it with the other hand. Match the groove of the bracket with the tab of the transducer. 
Amount the bracket onto the transducer. 
   
(3)  Screw the pinch nut of the needle-guided bracket to confirm that the needle-guided 
bracket is properly installed on the transducer. 
(4)  Adjust the dial scale to the required needle type shift, and then screw the needle 
fixing nut to lock the dial scale.(To adjust the dial scale you have to loose the needle 
fixing nut first.) 
(5)  Pull the lock pin and close the V-shaped cover to fix the lock pin in the groove of the 
needle type adjusting base, so as to install the needle into the guiding hole. 
 
  NGB-004 
1.  Put on the sterile probe sheath. 
 
2.  Open the retaining clamp, align the needle-guided bracket with the transducer to locate 
the locating bulge on the needle guide to the locating grooves on the transducer, and 
then turn the retaining clamp to match it with the transducer.
