Huntleigh dopplex Intraoperative Probe Mode D'emploi page 5

GENERAL OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
Refer to inside front cover for Clinical Applications.
During Use
An automatic diathermy noise reduction feature operates on high level signals to reduce
interference.
After Use
The control unit and the body of the probe are robust and require no special handling.
However, the probe tip is delicate and must be handled with care.
Connect the Probe adaptor to the Dopplex cable,
using the alignment mark on the barrel.
Locate the probe adaptor into the probe holder at
the side of the Dopplex control unit. The Dopplex
control unit can then be mounted onto an IV pole
using the clamp as shown in Fig.1.
Following sterilisation, remove the probe from its
packaging and insert plug into adaptor. Always
maintain sterility of the probe.
Note: The Dopplex control unit will
automatically switch off at a
predetermined time after switching
the unit on. See control unit user manual for
more information.
After use, the probe should be disconnected from
the main unit by carefully gripping the connector and
pulling it from the probe Adaptor. DO NOT PULL ON
THE PROBE CABLE.
The Dopplex control unit can be switched on by a member of staff who is outside the sterile
field. The volume control should be adjusted until a background hiss can be heard.
Ensure that the probe connector is fully engaged in the socket on the probe adaptor.
Correct operation of the system should be confirmed by placing the probe tip wetted with
patient's body fluid on an artery which is known to have blood flowing through it. A clearly
audible pulsatile Doppler sound should be heard when the probe is at an angle of
approximately 45° to the vessel. (Fig. 2 - overleaf).
