General Information

8848 User Guide (BB1637-C)
This is the user guide for Endocavity Biplane Transducer Type 8848 and must
be used together with Care, Cleaning & Safety, which contains important safety
information.
8848 is suitable for transrectal scanning, transvaginal scanning, all
transperineal interventional procedures including brachytherapy and
cryotherapy treatments.
Type 8848 contains two arrays — a convex array for transverse (T) scanning,
and a linear array for sagittal (S) scanning. Both arrays can be used seperately or
they can be used simultaneously. When using the simultaneous biplane feature,
you are able to view two planes at once with a single transducer, and this helps
determine the true position of the needle and its tip during puncture and biopsy.
