Treatment at the time of the discovery of abnormality

1-3-1. Safety security of patient In use, observe that the instrument and the patient are acting normal. If any abnormality occurs while using the instrument, the probe shall be removed from the patient promptly. When the patient is abnormal, do appropriate medical treatments.

1-3-2. Instrumental treatment When an abnormality occurs to the instrument, refer to the Safety operation manual and perform appropriate treatment. When any abnormality that is not described in the Safety operation manual occurs, use of the system is canceled, and a sign indicating the trouble shall be displayed or an appropriate sign shall be attached to the instrument, and contact one of our offices listed on back cover.

Operating the various switches Operating instructions of each switch are explained below.

1-4-1. + This switch is used to activate the measurement function which are assigned to the switches.

<Operation method> (1)

Press the

switch.

→ Activates the measurement cursor and measurement function. (2)

Measure according to the measurement procedure.

For details, refer to the Measurement manual.

1-4-2. CANCEL Used to terminate a selected operation or return to the previous step during a measurement.

1-4-3. CURSOR The CURSOR function moves or sets the cursor and the baseline of the Doppler pattern.

<CURSOR> <Operation method> (1)

Press the M switch to change over from the 1B mode display to the B/M mode display. → The CURSOR switch is lighted in orange, and the cursor is displayed on the B mode image.

(2)

Using the trackball, move the cursor to the position where you wish to detect the M mode.

[Remark] The method of operating the cursor in the B/D mode is the same as the description above. The cursor cannot be moved when the B/M(B/D) image is frozen.

<BASE LINE SHIFT> By shifting the baseline, the Doppler pattern can be displayed without the aliasing. (1)

Press the PW switch to change over from the 1B mode display to the B/D mode display. → The CURSOR switch is lighted in orange, and a cursor is displayed on the B mode image.

(2)

Adjust the position of the baseline with rotary encoder 4.

(3)

Press the CURSOR switch. → The baseline is reset at the center position.

(4)

Press the CURSOR switch again. → This function is finished.
