Align the plug to the system socket and insert securely. Turn the locking lever clockwise to lock in place. When connected, the transducer complies with Type BF requirements of EN60601-1 (IEC 60601-1). 8818 User Guide (BB1505-H) Cleaning and Disinfection...
A second button enables the transverse array. Each time a button is pressed, a beep is emitted. Changing Orientation To change the orientation of the image on the monitor, refer to the applicable system user guide for instructions. March 2017 8818 User Guide (BB1505-H)
Click Simultan to toggle simultaneous live transmission on or off. Imaging Without Puncture or Biopsy When 8818 is used for transrectal imaging without the puncture facilities, the dummy bracket UA1325 must be in place. This clicks into position on the transducer to cover the open channel (see Figure 3).
The width of the image area can be adjusted using the Width key on the system’s control panel. See the applicable system user guide for instructions. With the Expanded Sector feature and the 8818, you can increase the transverse sector angle from a default width of 140 to 180.
For Transrectal Puncture With Type 8818, you can perform transrectal puncture and biopsy by imaging in one of three ways: Simultaneous biplane (imaging in both the transverse and sagittal planes). • Endfire (imaging in the sagittal plane). • Dual (combines both the simultaneous biplane and endfire imaging in one •...
