Friction Brake (V7M); Array Rotation Control (V7M) - Siemens Acuson S1000 Instructions For Use Manual

Friction Brake (V7M)

The friction brake locks the deflection position of the distal tip. When the brake is engaged, you
can change the imaging scan plane without losing acoustical contact.
To lock the friction brake:
With the distal tip pointed away from you, rotate the metal barrel located on the handle

clockwise until the friction brake lock indicator changes from white to red.
To unlock the friction brake:
With the distal tip pointed away from you, rotate the metal barrel located on the handle

counterclockwise until the friction brake lock indicator changes from red to white.

Array Rotation Control (V7M)

The array rotation control rotates the transducer crystal within the distal tip of the transducer.
The position of the array corresponds to the imaging scan plane. The scan plane is adjustable
within the range of -12° to 192°.
Example of V7M transducer array rotation control.
1 0° array rotation angle, transverse plane
2 90° array rotation angle, longitudinal plane
3 180° array rotation angle, transverse plane, left/right inverted
