The following official statements from the American Institute of Ultrasound Medicine (AIUM) are provided for your general information regarding the safe use of ultrasound. Clinical Safety Approved March 1997, October 1982 Diagnostic ultrasound has been in use since the late 1950s.
Printer Not Printing (Error 9) The LifeDop and printer have lost communication. This may be due to a printer jam, paper empty, low printer battery or any of the above printer error codes. To clear the error, lift the paper cover lever, reseat the paper roll and close the cover. If printer communication is re-established, the LifeDop will automatically print the buffered waveform. If Error 9 persists, turn off both printer and LifeDop and re-start waveform buffer.
Operation and Installation Trouble shooting Warning: Use alternate equipment in case of unit failure. Call Summit Doppler Systems Service Department if the probe or main unit malfunctions. Warning: Do not drop or mishandle the LifeDop, probes or accessories. Damage to sensitive electrical components, speakers, cables, transducers or plastic likely to occur.
Replacing LifeDop Batteries (NOT USED) Warning: Replace batteries only with batteries supplied by Summit Doppler Systems. The battery compartment only accepts AA size batteries. See accessories list for part number and re-order information. (NOT USED) Open the battery compartment by depressing the tab and pulling outward on the battery door. Remove the existing drained batteries by pushing on the end of the battery that compresses the battery contact spring and lift upwards.
Obtaining Doppler Signals and Printer Operation Caution: Doppler examinations should be performed only by trained individuals. For any Doppler examination, it is essential that an adequate supply of coupling gel be used to transmit the ultrasound energy from the probe to the surface of the skin. Re-apply more gel if it starts to dry out or spread so thinly that an air gap occurs between the probe and the skin. It is not necessary to cover the entire surface of the probe, only the probe face.
Diagnostic Monitoring All LifeDop Doppler units perform continuous diagnostic monitoring and give a visual indication of battery level. The LifeDop uses a multiple level battery shaped icon that indicates the voltage level of the battery. The battery outline will flash when the battery level is very low indicating that the user should change the batteries soon after the current examination is complete. Once the unit is on, the LifeDop performs a series of diagnostic checks.
Printing a Waveform Report Generation Warning: The print head becomes hot during printing. Do not touch the print head after printing. Report generation is made very simple with adhesive backed printer paper provided by Summit Doppler - eliminating the need to cut and tape the strip of paper. The label paper backing is precut down the center – fold the paper down the middle and peal from the center. Attach the waveform to the preprinted ABI assessment Form.
