Preparing the RollerFORM Liquid Chamber
41
When the liquid chamber of the RollerFORM is filled with water, Olympus
recommends that the water in the chamber be changed at least once a week, and that
it be emptied when it will not be used for 48 hours or more. Olympus highly
recommends filling the liquid chamber with distilled or deionized water. Failure to
follow these instructions will lead to algae formation, which requires more rigorous
maintenance. When the chamber is filled with noncorrosive glycol, it does not need to
be emptied periodically.
Before filling the liquid chamber, make sure that its interior has been thoroughly
cleaned. Even very small particles, dust, stains, or deposits present in the chamber
will interfere with the propagation of ultrasound waves, thus preventing proper
operation of the probe. When changing the liquid inside the chamber from glycol to
water, the inside of the chamber must be cleaned to remove all traces of glycol before
filling it with water. For more information, see “Cleaning the Liquid Chamber” on
page 85.
To fill the liquid chamber
1. On the acoustic wheel flange on the probe-cable side, make sure that the OUT
valve is open by turning it one-and-a-half turn (see Figure 3-1 on page 42).
