The following official statements from the American Institute of Ultrasound Medicine (AIUM) are provided for your general information regarding the safe use of ultrasound.

Clinical Safety Approved March 1997, October 1982 Diagnostic ultrasound has been in use since the late 1950s. Given its known benefits and recognized efficacy for medical diagnosis, including use during human pregnancy, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine herein addresses the clinical safety of such use: There are no confirmed biological effects on patients or instrument operators caused by exposures from present diagnostic ultrasound instruments. Although the possibility exists that such biological effects may be identified in the future, current data indicate that the benefits to patients of the prudent use of diagnostic ultrasound outweigh the risks, if any, that may be present.

Prudent Use Approved May 1999 The AIUM advocates the responsible use of diagnostic ultrasound. The AIUM strongly discourages the non-medical use of ultrasound for psychosocial or entertainment purposes. The use of either twodimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound to only view the fetus, obtain a picture of the fetus or determine the fetal gender without a medical indication is inappropriate and contrary to responsible medical practice. Although there are no confirmed biological effects on patients caused by exposures from present diagnostic ultrasound instruments, the possibility exists that such biological effects may be identified in the future. Thus ultrasound should be used in a prudent manner to provide medical benefit to the patient.

Safety in Training and Research Approved March 1997, March 1983 Diagnostic ultrasound has been in use since the late 1950s. There are no confirmed adverse biological effects on patients resulting from this usage. Although no hazard has been identified that would preclude the prudent and conservative use of diagnostic ultrasound in education and research, experience from normal diagnostic practice may or may not be relevant to extended exposure times and altered exposure conditions. It is therefore considered appropriate to make the following recommendation: In those special situations in which examinations are to be carried out for purposes other than direct medical benefit to the individual being examined, the subject should be informed of the anticipated exposure conditions, and of how these compare with conditions for normal diagnostic practice.

Probes LifeDop Doppler ultrasound transducers were designed to meet your specific applications needs. Each probe has been ergonomically designed for comfort while providing excellent maneuverability for locating the fetus or vascular target. Each probe is carefully measured and tested to ensure it meets exacting performance standards. 2 MHz - Late term obstetrical examination. This probe frequency is typically used during the last trimester for deep fetal positions associated with larger women. Waterproof versions of the 2 MHz probe are available. 3 MHz – Early and general-purpose obstetrical examination. This probe frequency is a general use model ideal for most stages of fetal examination. Fetal heart sounds can be heard as early as 12 weeks and sometimes sooner depending on the position and size of the fetus. 4 MHz Broad – This unique peripheral vascular probe is ideal for quickly locating brachial, radial and ankle arteries in the performance of Ankle/Brachial Index testing. The broad beam of the 4 MHz probe allows the user to place the probe over the general location of the artery and with very little movement find the vessel for fast blood pressure measurements. 5 MHz – This standard “pencil” style probe is an excellent vascular tool for locating deep specific vessels in the peripheral vascular system. The narrow grip and small face of the probe make it ideal for maneuvering for maximizing the signal. 8 MHz – This standard “pencil” style probe is an excellent vascular tool for locating shallow specific vessels in the peripheral vascular system. The narrow grip and small face of the probe make it ideal for maneuvering for maximizing the signal.

Wallach Surgical Devices

LCD Panel for Display Units Only

Turning Unit On/Off Turn the unit on by pressing the On/Off button. LED or LCD indicators (depending on the model) indicate power status. The LifeDop automatically shuts itself off after 3 minutes if it is not being used. This complete power shutdown preserves the life of the batteries and ensures the unit will be ready for operation in case it was accidentally left on. Diagnostic Monitoring (LCD Display units only) Once the unit is on, the LifeDop display units perform a series of diagnostic checks. The unit first checks and temporarily displays the frequency of the probe that is being used. This display will not reappear unless the probe is changed or the power is cycled, in which case the display will again temporarily confirm the frequency of probe that is connected. The unit then checks for proper internal operating temperature, battery voltage, reference voltage and power supply voltage levels. If any of these characteristics are out of range, the display will show the ERROR indicator and a failure code associated with the diagnostic error. Diagnostic functions are periodically checked while the unit is on to ensure the Doppler is operating at peak performance. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for a listing of failure codes.

Battery Monitoring All LifeDop Doppler units perform continuous battery monitoring and give a visual indication of battery level. Display units use a multiple level battery shaped indicator that indicates the voltage level of the battery. The battery outline will flash when the battery level is very low indicating that the user should change or charge the batteries (depending on the model) soon after the current examination is complete. See the Recharging section to learn how to recharge the batteries. Non-display units use the On/Off LED as a battery indicator by flashing at a low rate (approximately once per second) when the battery level is low. Several exams can still be performed in this state of operation. The battery indicator will flash at a higher rate (approximately twice per second) when the battery level is very low. The user should change or charge the batteries (depending on the model) soon after the current exam is complete. See the Recharging section to learn how to recharge the batteries. Remember, if your unit has alkaline batteries, do not recharge them. Recharging (Rechargeable units only) Warnings • Do not use any other wall adaptor unit other than that supplied with the LifeDop Doppler. Major damage to electrical components is likely to occur. See the Accessories section for reordering of parts information. • Do not attempt to recharge alkaline batteries. Major damage to electrical components is likely to occur. It is recommended that the LifeDop Doppler to be recharged prior to first use. To recharge the unit, plug the recharge jack from the wall adaptor into the unit’s recharge connector. For display units, the battery shaped indicator will cycle in a repeated rising pattern to indicate the unit is recharging. For non-display units, the Recharge LED will turn on.

Recharge Jack from power supply plugs into connector

The recharge cycle will be limited to 14 hours or until the maximum battery voltage level has been reached. Once the recharge cycle has been discontinued normally, the LCD indicator or the Recharge LED will flash at a low rate. The unit will not overcharge the batteries. If it determines that the batteries do not require charging, the charge cycle will be interrupted after 30 seconds.

Obtaining Doppler Signals Caution • Doppler examinations should be performed only by trained individuals. For any Doppler examination, it is essential that an adequate supply of coupling gel is used to transmit the ultrasound energy from the probe to the surface of the skin. Re-apply more gel if it starts to dry out or spread so thinly that an air gap occurs between the probe and the skin. It is not necessary to cover the entire surface of the probe, only the probe face. Applying too much gel makes the unit difficult to clean and does not aid in the performance of the probe. Volume Slider The audio level can be adjusted using the Volume Slider. Moving the slider up will increase the volume, while moving it down will decrease it. Signal Quality Indicator (Display units only) An inadequate signal can produce erroneous rates from the heart rate calculation. The signal level that is being obtained is shown on the Signal Quality Indicator bars. This indicator provides a visual aid in obtaining a strong audio signal by showing the pulsatile nature of the signal. A large difference between the highest and lowest signal bars that are lit confirms that the quality of the signal is good and thus ensures the heart rate calculation is operating at peak performance. The heart rate can be verified manually by counting the audible beats for 20 seconds and multiplying by 3, or for 15 seconds and then multiplying by 4. Counting for less than 15 seconds is not recommended due to a decrease in accuracy with the small sample size. Obstetrical Fetal heart sounds are quite different from peripheral vascular blood flow sounds. Fetal sounds are typically much lower in frequency and much higher in rate. For early term fetal detection, start the probe at the pubic bone and slowly move along the midline – rocking the probe slowly from side to side until a heart beat is heard. For mid to late term fetal detection the best chance of finding the heart sounds are to start on the fundus and move toward the navel and from one side of the abdomen to the other, slowly rocking the probe until the heart beat is heard. The fetal heart reminds many people of a galloping horse and can vary in tone from a distant swishing sound to a hard clopping sound depending on the position of the baby and probe.

Obstetrical (continued) Many times when attempting to detect the fetal heart, the maternal vascular sounds are heard instead of (or in some cases, in addition to) the fetal sounds. These maternal sounds can come from one of the major arteries, the placenta or the umbilical cord. The maternal vascular sounds are typically higher in frequency at a lower rate. The heart rate calculation will display either the maternal rate or the fetal rate, whichever portion of the signal is stronger. If the fetal heart sounds cannot be located using the procedure as described above, a second exam should be performed using another commercially available fetal monitor as a repeated test. 5 and 8 MHz Vascular Peripheral arterial sounds are typically higher in frequency. For the best sounds, angle the probe approximately 45 degrees from the skin surface over the general location of the vessel. Slowly move the probe side to side and vary the angle of the probe until the vascular sounds are heard. Changing the angle of the probe has an affect on the frequency of the sound. The steeper the probe angle is, the higher the frequency of the sound. Peripheral venous sounds are not typically periodic and vary greatly depending on patient movement and breathing. These sounds are more like the wind at the ocean and vary in pitch as the patient moves or breathes.

4 MHz Vascular The use of the 4 MHz vascular probe is the same as the 8 MHz as described above, except tilting the probe 45 degrees is not necessary since the crystals are angled inside the probe cap. This allows the user to simply place the probe flat on the peripheral vascular surface to scan for the flow sounds by moving the flat probe face across the skin surface above the vessel.

Proper alignment of the 4 MHz vascular probe with respect to the vessel
