Introduction
The SD2 is a battery powered hand-held bi-directional vascular Doppler. It provides an audible sound and visual
indication of vascular bloodflow. This equipment is for use only by suitably qualified healthcare practitioners and
is not intended for use by the patient.
Before using this equipment, study this manual carefully and familiarise yourself with the controls, display
features and operation.
Experience with use of ultrasonic dopplers is preferable, but for novice users training material is provided with
the online documents. Exposure to ultrasound should be kept As Low As Reasonably Achievable - (ALARA
guidelines).
