Cautions 1. General Non-conformability with expendables / components / other device Please use designated battery, ultrasonic gel, probe and headset. Do not use those components for other devices. Only skilled persons should operate the unit. 1-1. Probe (1) The standard probe is for transcutaneous use only. (2) Optional sterilizable probe (reusable & disposable) can be sterilized in the manner described in the page 14, Sterilization. However, only one time sterilization is possible for disposable probe, and do not reuse it. (3) Except optional ACP probe, do not sterilize probes by steam autoclave. (4) The probe transducer is a very thin and delicate. Please handle with great care and use the probe cap when not in use. (5) The probe cover also prevents against switching ON when storing the unit after use. 1-2. Ultrasound gel (1) Do not apply ultrasound gel to the probe body other than the tip of probe. (2) Always use an ultrasound gel. Using other materials such as baby oil and cream may damage the probe. (3) The ultrasound gel enclosed is non-sterile and do not use it for surgeries. (4) Incidence of allergy: Discontinue the use of gel if any allergic reaction occurs.

1-3. Battery (1) When battery is low, the power indicator flashes. Replace the battery. (2) Use a 9 volt alkaline square type battery. A non-alkaline may cause a shortage of power. (3) When not using the unit for a long time, remove the battery.
2. Before using the unit (1) Make sure that the unit operates safely and correctly by implementing performance check mentioned in “Cautions 7. Periodical safety check by user”. (2) Do not place near water or other liquid. (3) Do not place where atmospheric pressure, ventilation, sunlight, dust, salt, sulfur and so forth will not affect the unit adversely. (4) Do not place it on or adjacent other electronic device. (5) Use only on conditions of temperature between 10 °C and 37 °C and humidity less than 85 %. (6) Pay attention to the stability conditions to avoid too much inclination, vibration, shock, and so on during transportation and installation of the unit. (7) Do not place it where chemicals are stored or gas may be generated. (8) Keep the unit and the patient from a computer more than 1.5 m apart. (9) When using the unit after a long time, do not forget to check whether the unit operates normally and safely. (10) Make sure that there are no damages on the unit and probe. (11) Clean the probe using damp cloth or a recommended probe cleaner before use. Using alcohol or thinner may damage the probe. (12) Sterilizable probes (optional) should be sterilized before use. (See Page 12, 3

How to turn the unit ON and OFF (1) Open the battery cover as pictured on the right.
To prevent any damage to the battery terminal, please insert the battery to battery box as shown right.
(2) Set an alkaline square type battery in the unit ensuring that the
positive
and negative
electrodes correspond to the + and - marks on the label in the battery box. (3) Connect the probe to the Minidop so that the arrow mark
will be placed under
mark,
and press the probe button to turn the unit ON. To start the measurement, turn the volume control to maximum. (4) Press the probe button again to turn the unit OFF. AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF If the unit is left on with no signal input, the power is automatically shut off in about 3 minutes. REPLACING BATTERY Replace the battery with new one if the power indicator flashes. Use a 9 volt ALKALINE square type battery. A non-alkaline may cause a shortage of power. Note: Use the battery composed in the package as a standard component for performing operation check only. 9
External outputs HEADSET Connect the headset when necessary. The headset cuts off the speaker.
Operation (1) Connect the probe to the Minidop so that the arrow mark
will be placed under
mark, as
shown on the right.
(2) Put ultrasonic gel on the probe top or patient skin. Press the probe button to turn the unit on.
(3) Make sure the power indicator on the unit is on. Turn the volume control to maximum.

(4) Put the probe on the measurement area and move it slowly to locate the point where the maximum Doppler sounds are heard. An ideal
probe
angle
to
the
vessel
is
approximately 45° to 60°.
(5) If you are using the 2 MHz probe, put the probe on the measurement area and move it slowly to locate the point where the maximum sounds are heard.
Skin surface
(6) Headset can be used to listen to Doppler sounds. It will cut off the speaker.

It remains the responsibility of the processor to ensure that the processing as actually performed using equipment, materials and personal in the processing facility achieve the desired result. This requires validation and routine monitoring of process. Likewise any deviation by the processor from the instruction provided should be evaluated for effectiveness and potential adverse consequences. 16
Principles Model ES-100VX Minidop is designed to receive blood flow velocity information by ultrasound. A specific frequency is transmitted from the probe to the patient. Technically the transceiver amplifies a high frequency oscillation output for transmission to the transducer. The voltage is converted by a piezoelectric crystal (transducer) to ultrasound. The ultrasound beam is transmitted to blood cells flowing through arteries. The ultrasound beam is reflected by the red blood cells or by moving structures and received by the crystal in the transducer which converts the ultrasound into a voltage. A Doppler shift occurs between the emission and reception of the ultrasound beam. The voltage is amplified. The electronics amplifies the signal, filters out noise and improves the S/N ratio. The Doppler shift signals are amplified further and converted to audible sound via a speaker.
