Setting up device for procedure
Please read and follow the below instructions to prepare the
device before performing a dynamic ultrasound guided
procedure with Vscan Air.
Step Step name Description
1 Configure app settings • If working with a display device for the first time, use an
example image to adjust the brightness level for optimal
visualization of the image based on the ambient environment
where the procedure is expected to be performed. Consider
dimming ambient lights for better image visualization, wherever
possible.
• Adjust/maximize the Auto-freeze time to avoid image freeze
during the procedure due to no user interface interactions.
Note that this setting minimizes device heating and battery
drainage when device is not being used by freezing the image.
• Centreline marker can be turned on from the Menu ->
Configuration, if desired. Please note that Vscan Air supports
only free hand biopsy and needle procedures so the centreline
marking should not be confused with biopsy guidelines
indicating needle path on the image.
• The probe button can be configured for additional functionality
(Store or Freeze) that could be helpful during procedure to
minimize interaction with the display device. It can be
configured from the Menu -> Configuration. Accidental long
press (5 secs or more) of this button during scanning can lead
to unintentional shut down of the probe.
• The video duration should be set to save cine clips of a length
appropriate for documentation requirements.
2 Use a cool probe Make sure the probe is sufficiently cooled down after any
previous scanning. Disruption may occur due to the probe
getting warm if a lengthy procedure is anticipated.
Leaving the probe on a desk (outside the pocket or the case)
after it off will help cooling down faster. It should take about 30-
60 minutes to get to a reasonably cool state depending on how
warm it was from the previous scan and the ambient
temperature. If accelerated cooling of the probe is required,
place the probe, while turned off, in front of a fan, run under cold
water, or apply cooling pack.
