DOPPLER PARKS D811BL SOFTCHECK SIZE 1 CUFF (3-6cm)

Flat Probe

Frequency: 8.0-9.9 MHz

Size: 1/2 in X 5/8 in

Cable length*: 5 ft standard

Description:

Easily taped into place for repeated

measurements. Crystals are set into the plastic so

that the ultrasound beam goes into the vessel at

about 15 degrees from perpendicular

Probe Design and Frequency:

Each probe consists of two crystals; one transmits

ultrasound waves and one receives the refl ected

waves. The initial energy beam is as wide as the

The probe frequency is specifi c to each instrument.

The probe’s two connectors can be plugged into

either of the two jacks on the Doppler unit that match

the probe frequency. The frequency is identifi ed

on the panel next to the jacks and on the label

attached to the probe cable (probes manufactured

before September 2006 will only be inscribed).

Disconnect the probes from the Doppler unit only for

Remove the red protective covering from the probe

tip before use.

Warning!

Damage to either crystal will impair or prevent probe

function. The material covering the crystals can be

damaged by ECG cream or paste, abrasion, soaking

in alcohol or disinfectants, and excessive heat.

Inspect the Probe:

Before each use, inspect the probe for any cracks

or breaks in the protective epoxy covering. Damage

that could allow for ingress of conductive fl uids,

such as acoustical coupling gel, can create a shock

or burn hazard if the Doppler unit’s metal case is

grounded and comes in contact with or is used with

other electronic equipment.

Use Coupling Gel:

The probe requires a conductive medium to maintain

an interface between the skin and the probe for

signal transmission. Use only a coupling gel made

for ultrasonic applications.

Care and Cleaning of the Probes

1. Remove the gel with a soft tissue after each probe use.

2. Wash any dried gel off the probe with running water.

DO NOT scrape off dried gel to avoid damaging the coating over the crystals.

3. User may opt to wipe probe tip with alcohol, surface germicidal cloth, or liquid

disinfectant (do not soak). Rinse probe tip with warm water to remove any residue

after cleaning/germicidal agent dries. Do not use bleach.

Do Not Autoclave the Probes

Temperatures above 57.2 degrees Celsius (135 degrees Fahrenheit) destroy the

crystal activity and cause the covering over the individual cables and the outer sheath

to shrink and crack. With a raised temperature, a severe loss of sensitivity will occur.

Autoclaving will void the probe warranty
