Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System
2. Put an adequate amount of coupling gel on the probe head or into the probe
sheath.
3. Insert the transducer into the probe sheath.
Use of sterile FDA cleared probe
sheath is required for intracavitary op-
erations. If lubricant is used, it must be
water-soluble. Do not apply coupling
gel directly on the patient skin.
4. Cover the probe with the probe sheath up to the user section (probe handle).
5. Examine the integrity of the probe sheath. If breakage occurs, repeat from
step 1 to replace the sheath with another new one.
13.3.4 Scanning
Refer to Chapter 3 to turn on the system and start an ultrasound diagnosis.
13.4 Probe Maintenance: Cleaning and Disinfection
Clean the transducer and the probe handle after each use.
For surface probes, disinfect the transducer periodically. For intracavitary probes,
disinfecting the transducer after each use is required.
Keep a log of maintenance (inspection, cleaning and disinfection) and malfunction.
13.4.1 Probe immersion level
Figure 13.1: Surface probes
Figure 13.2: Intracavi-
tary probe
For surface probes, do not immerse the probe beyond its binding line (refer to
Figure 13.1).
For intracavitary probes, the allowed immersion level is shown in Figure 13.2.
