Supplement to the User and Reference Manuals (English) The supplement provides updated information for your existing user manuals. Refer to your ultrasound system's user and reference manuals for a complete set of operating instructions.
Caring for Transducers (New content: Page 6-4, Instructions for Use) Transducer Element Check A transducer element check is available for evaluating the integrity of each element on a transducer. If you suspect transducer degradation due to damage, age, or another issue, contact your customer service representative. Based on the results of the transducer element check, your customer service representative will advise you of necessary actions.
Disinfecting a Continuous Wave Transducer (New content: Page 6-13, Instructions for Use) A continuous wave (CW) transducer with a T-bar requires additional tasks for disinfection. To prepare a CW transducer for disinfection: 1. 2. 3.
Rotate the screw on the side of the T-bar counterclockwise and then set the screw aside. Loosen and then slide the T-bar onto the transducer cable. Perform the additional tasks when following the disinfection instructions on page 6-12. – Carefully wipe the T-bar and screw using a disinfectant wipe.
Use a circular motion when wiping the T-bar and screw.
Slide the wipe partially through the hole on the T-bar and then rotate the T-bar to disinfect the interior of the hole.
Slide a portion of the wipe into the threaded screw hole on the T-bar and rotate the wipe to clean the interior of the hole.
–
Carefully wipe the transducer, including the cable, using a second disinfectant wipe.
–
Allow all surfaces to remain wet with disinfectant for a minimum of two minutes. Reapply the disinfectant to the transducer, T-bar, and screw, if necessary. Note: Follow the disinfectant manufacturer's instructions.
– 4.
Rinse and then dry the transducer, T-bar, and screw.
Reassemble the transducer after all components are dry. a. Carefully slide the T-bar into place on the transducer. b. Rotate the screw clockwise into the T-bar to secure the T-bar to the transducer.

syngo Auto OB
Compatible transducers and exam types: – 5C1, 6C1, 7C2, 8VC3, 9MC3, 10MC3, 9VE3: Obstetrics, Early Obstetrics, Advanced Obstetrics – 12L3, 11L4, 13L4, 14L4: Obstetrics Provides system-detected measurements of specific fetal parameters for user confirmation.
Virtual Touch Quantification (Available only on the ACUSON Juniper system)
Virtual Touch quantification measures tissue shear velocity (Vs) and elasticity (E) for a selected region of interest. Virtual Touch quantification uses acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) technology of diagnostic ultrasound to induce tissue displacement. A time-controlled sequence of "push pulses" from the transducer induces a small displacement of tissue. The ultrasound system measures shear wave velocity and elasticity at the region of interest. Provides measurement labels for sites, lesions, and liver segments, which display in the liver assessment section of the abdomen report Compatible transducers and exam types: – 5C1, 6C1: Abdominal
