6.2.3 System Specifications
Conforms the following specifications:
• Gray shades: (256) in B-Mode
Environmental operating, transient and storage conditions
These are the environmental conditions that are acceptable for transport and storage of the Vave Probe
between uses:
Operating Limits Transient Operating Limits Storage Limits
Pressure 620 hPa to 1 060 hPa — —
Humidity 15% to 90% non-condensing 15% to 90% non-condensing
-40 °C (-40°F) to + 5°C (+41°F)
without relative humidity
control;
+5°C (+41°F) to +35°C (+95°F) at
a relative humidity up to 90%
non-condensing;
> 35°C (+95°F) to 70°C (+158°F)
at a water vapour pressure up
to 50 hPa
Temperature 0°C (+32°F) to +40°C (+104°F) -20°C (-4°F) to + 50°C (+122°F)
If stored or transported in conditions outside what’s stated above, the scanner may degrade in performance or
become unusable.
If the probe has been in an environment above 40°C (104°F), allow to cool to operating temperature before turning
on or operating — approximately 25 minutes depending on length of temperature exposure. Do not allow the
transducer to contact the patient if the temperature of the transducer is higher than 43°C (109°F).
The Vave Probe automatically shuts down if the probe surfaces other than the patient contact area reach a
temperature of 48°C. The patient contact area will not exceed 43°C during operation. If the scanner reaches its
maximum surface temperature, it automatically shuts down.
The temperature icon:
• Blue: indicates that the scanner is cool.
• Orange: indicates that the scanner is heating up
• Red: it indicates that the scanner is too warm.
