Multi-Dop® T digital digital – portable – complete Thoroughly ergonomical design and time proven DWL® Doppler quality are outstanding features of our portable Multi-Dop® T digital complete Doppler system. With 1, 2, 2+2.5*, 4, 8 and 16 MHz Doppler frequencies the MultiDop® T digital is perfectly equipped for transcranial, extracranial, peripheral and microvascular examinations. The modular design facilitates an upgrade of the software at any time from routine applications to unilateral or bilateral monitoring, special function tests emboli detection and differentiation with the maximum of efficiency. An integrated 17.3“ (43.9 cm) TFT colour multi-touch display, integrated detachable Bluetooth keyboard, high quality loudspeakers, multi-function remote control with integrated optical mouse and user friendly software guarantee optimal working conditions. Full Digital Doppler Technology The traditionally high quality DWL® Doppler with digital Doppler technology and Doppler M-Mode meets highest demands and exceeds all previous requirements for clinical routine and monitoring examinations. The integrated digital technology provides a maximal signal quality and total access to raw data for complete external signal analysis by means of ASCII export. Doppler M-Mode The Doppler M-Mode makes it possible to simultaneously receive and analyse Doppler signals from a predefined range of depths. The Doppler M-Mode display shows the intensity, direction and depth information of this range of depths continuously and in real-time. It provides an excellent graphical display of the blood flow in all vessels located in the sound beam. The Doppler M-Mode display allows moving through the entire depth range and thus easily selecting the best Doppler signals and most relevant clinical data. Use of the Doppler M-Mode for emboli detection allows an observation of an embolus as it passes through various depths. The Doppler M-Mode window contains the signals of up to 8,000 (micro) gates. The number is calculated from the formula: 1
𝑁𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑠 = 𝑁𝑐ℎ ∗ 𝑃𝑅𝐹 /µ𝐺 Nch = number of channels (1 or 2) µG = the smallest calculated gate (microgate), here: 0.25µs PRF = scale in Hz (smallest scale setting = 1000 Hz)
* The 2+2.5 MHz probe can only by used together with the upgrade emboli differentiation which is not available in the USA. ** The hardware dependent microgate is used internally to calculate the M Mode window and the normal depth gates that are displayed. MDTdig e, Rev. 2

Safety Instructions Instructions on starting-up
Do not use the system without training by a Compumedics Germany (DWL) authorized dealer. Inform your dealer when the system arrives before opening the package. In order to avoid the risk of an electric shock, connect this device only to mains with a protective conductor. Together with this unit, use only accessories and devices recommended by Compumedics Germany (DWL). Do not install software or driver programs by other manufacturers on the device (with the exception of anti-virus software and other anti-malware software). The proper operation of the device cannot be guaranteed if other software programs are installed on the hard disk. When connecting an external device (e.g. printer) make sure that both devices are switched off. Medical electrical devices need special precautions regarding EMC and have to be installed and put into service according to the information provided in appendix B. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical devices. First establish all connections (remote control, printer, etc.) before connecting the device to the mains. All connectors and inputs not in use must be sealed with plastic caps. Otherwise they may be damaged by electro-statical discharges. The users are responsible that the medical system they create at their place complies with standard IEC 60601-1 section 16.

Compumedics Germany GmbH If the device is connected to a non-medical network, the additional medical network isolator must be used. If a non-medically approved accessory is connected to the device using a USB port, a USB isolator must be used. This device must not be altered without explicit permission of Compumedics Germany GmbH. The patient should not touch any metallic parts of the device, the applied parts or the accessories. The device should be positioned in a way that allows quick separation from the mains. Only DC voltage sources that comply with IEC 60601 (class 2, 2MOPP) are permitted to be connected to this device. Never pull the 16 MHz probe out of the adaptor, always pull the adaptor out of the socket. Disconnecting a probe should only be done in off-line mode. For disconnecting probes, never pull at the cable, always use the plug!
Instructions on operating the Before use, always inspect the ultrasound probes for visible cracks or damage. Never use system cracked or damaged probes. Contact your authorised Compumedics Germany (DWL) dealer for repair or replacement. When using the device near or in operating theatres take care to ensure a safe galvanic separation so that safety and function of other (probably life-saving) devices are not compromised. For the 16 MHz probes a special adaptor for digital devices is needed. The 16 MHz adaptor for analog Doppler devices by Compumedics Germany cannot be used with the Multi-Dop® T digital. When making transorbital measurements reduce the transmission power to a minimum. Since the probes can get very hot it is essential that long-lasting measurements (with the probe fixed to the patient) are only carried out with a TIC limit set to a maximum of 2.0. Loud noise can damage your sense of hearing and it is a nuisance to your environment. Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered or blocked in any way. During application of the device, only external devices that were explicitly specified by Compumedics Germany (DWL) are permitted to be connected to the USB connector. USB devices that have an own power supply are only permitted to be used with this device when they are IEC 60601 certified or when a USB isolator is used.

Compumedics Germany GmbH When applying the device to a patient, only external devices that were explicitly specified by Compumedics Germany (DWL) are permitted to be connected to the device. Compumedics Germany (DWL) cannot be held responsible for damages that occur when this rule is not observed. Only devices that comply with IEC 60601 or IEC 60950 are permitted to be connected to the analog In and analog Out connectors. Use only Compumedics Germany (DWL) probes. The probes may be damaged when used near a working defibrillator. The 16 MHz probe must always be used together with the adaptor. Materials that have an expiring date must not be used after this date but should be disposed of according to national guidelines. If the packaging of a sterile accessory is damaged, it must not be used. Only use ultrasound gel that doesn’t cause any damage to the probe heads. We recommend the usage of ultrasound gel provided by Compumedics Germany (DWL). All accessories that are connected to the system Multi-Dop® T digital have to comply at least with IEC 60950 or, preferably with IEC 60601. The leakage currents defined in IEC 60601-1 have to be observed with every system configuration. Since we cannot guarantee that the leakage currents are below the limits when using an external printer, the printer must not be in reach of patients. That means... ...acc. to IEC 60601-1 minimum distance to the side = 1.5 m minimum distance above = 2.5 m ...acc. to UL minimum distance to the side = 1.83 m minimum distance above = 2.29 m External devices out of the patient’s reach have to comply with relevant standards (e.g. IEC 60950:2005). Devices must not be used in explosive atmospheres or in explosive mixtures of anaesthetics with oxygen or laughing gas. Do not stand or sit on the device. Always quit QL software before pressing the stand-by key. The device goes to stand-by mode. To turn it off completely you have to disconnect the power cord but wait until the LED lights up blue.

Compumedics Germany GmbH When closing the device, take care that your fingers don’t get caught between the upper and bottom parts of the device. Instructions on cleaning and Instructions on cleaning and disinfection can be found in chapter 6 under the heading “System maintenance Care: Cleaning and Probe Care”. Never carry out maintenance work while the device is used on a patient.
Cleaning of system accessories (e.g. printer, remote control, etc.) must take place out of the patients’ reach, using normal cleaning agents or cleaning agents recommended by the manufacturer. The 1, 2, 2+2.5, 4 and 8 MHz probes are fitted with a PVC cable and must not be gas-sterilised or autoclaved. The 16 MHz probes can be gas-sterilised. Instructions on sterilisation are contained in chapter 6 System Care: Cleaning and Probe Care”. When using the probes on patients with infectious risks (e.g. Creutzfeld-Jakob), dispose of the reusable 16 MHz probes and do not reuse them. The 16 MHz disposable probes are delivered in sterile condition. Check the packaging prior to opening it. If the packaging is damaged, the probe is no longer sterile and must not be used. Dispose of it according to national guidelines. They cannot be sterilised. The device does not contain any maintainable parts. It should only be repaired by technicians authorised by Compumedics Germany (DWL) who can order service instructions from the Compumedics Germany (DWL) dealers. Once a year, a complete electrical check-up – independent of national regulations - should be carried out by a qualified person in accordance to the guidelines given on page 4-3. Disconnect the probe plug to separate the device completely from the mains.

Safety Instructions for Monitoring
! !
1-8
The ultrasound probes convert electrical energy to acoustic energy. Each time energy is converted from one form to another, part of it is inevitably converted to heat. This results in an increase of the temperature of the probes. When doing monitoring, the probes are fixed to the same position for quite some time. Warning: The following instructions must always be observed. •
Increase the gain setting to the maximum value and reduce the power to a setting as low as possible!
•
Carry out monitoring only during critical phases of the surgery.
•
The pressure the probes apply to the patient’s skin should not be too high since a high pressure reduces blood circulation.
•
Always apply plenty of ultrasound gel which ensures a good transduction of the ultrasound. Apply fresh gel several times during the monitoring.
•
Check the temperature of the probes and the skin under and around the probes regularly.
Warning: Patients who suffer from poor blood circulation e.g. diabetics or patients supplied with heart-lung machines, or patients with an increased body temperature, have to be observed meticulously.
MDTdig e, Rev. 2
Compumedics Germany GmbH
Information on Thermal Indices There are several different thermal indices (TI). For transcranial Doppler sonography (1, 2 and 2+2.5 MHz) the TIC is the most important one. For peripheral measurement, using 4 and 8 MHz, the TIB and TIS indices are important. The mechanical index is not used since mechanical effects (cavitation) can be neglected. The indices do not provide safety limits. What the indices do provide is an indication of the conditions which are more likely than others to produce thermal effects. The modelling for predicting TI assumes some cooling by blood perfusion. For applications where poorly perfused tissues are expected (e.g. diabetics), the TI should be maintained at a lower value (< 1.0). When insonating tissue known to be well perfused, a higher TI value can be tolerated (> 2.0). You can find more information on that in Appendix A on pages A-16 through A-18.
Information on Network Safety The device features two Ethernet ports and can be connected to a network. Provided the configuration allows for it, the device could be communicating in the public world wide web. In this case we strongly recommend that you use anti-virus software and contact your network administrator for further protective measures.
Error Messages All possible error messages of the QL software are explained in the Operating Instructions of the QL Routine software. For information about error messages of the Windows@ operating system, refer to Microsoft under Support or Technet.
Information about USB Flash Drives When you want to store data for a longer time on a USB flash drive, you should only use flash drives that are explicitely designed for long-term storage or those that use SLCs (Single Layer Chips). USB flash drives with Multi Layer or Triple Layer Chips (MLC, TLC) are not reliable when data are stored for a longer time. Data loss could occur.
