Introduction This is the user guide for Linear Array Transducer Type 8811 and must be used together with Care, Cleaning & Safety which contains important safety information. 8811 is suitable for breast, small part, peripheral vascular and musculoskeletal scanning. Figure 1. Linear Array Transducer 8811 WARNING Do not use the transducer for applications where it may come in direct conductive contact with the patient’s heart.
Acoustic output data and data about EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) for this transducer are on the Technical Data CD that accompanies this user guide. A full explanation of acoustic output is given in your scanner user guide. WARNING If at any time the scanner malfunctions, or the image is severely distorted or degraded, or you suspect in any way that the scanner is not functioning correctly: Remove all transducers from contact with the patient.
WARNING Users of this equipment have an obligation and responsibility to provide the highest degree of infection control possible to patients, co-workers and themselves. To avoid cross contamination, follow all infection control policies for personnel and equipment established for your office, department or hospital. Caution: Keep all plugs and sockets absolutely dry at all times.
Gel also creates a good acoustic contact between the skin and the transducer; therefore, apply a small amount to the outside of the cover prior to scanning. Re- apply the gel frequently to ensure good screen images. WARNING Use only water-soluble agents or gels. Petroleum or mineral oil-based materials may harm the cover material.

To alter the angle of the needle-guide holder: Loosen the adjustable screw by turning it one quarter revolution counter- clockwise. Select the desired angle (60; 45; 30). Retighten the adjustable screw. To select the correct needle barrel: Raise the three winged handle up out of its socket and rotate it until the desired barrel is next to the small black triangular marking on the top of the needle guide holder.
Move the transducer until the puncture line transects the target. Insert the needle and monitor it as it moves along the puncture line to the target. The needle tip echo will be seen as a bright dot on the screen. WARNING If the needle guide is detached from the transducer during interventional procedures, cover the transducer with a new transducer cover.
Disposal When the transducer is scrapped at the end of its life, national rules for the relevant material in each individual land must be followed. Within the EU, when you discard the transducer, you must send it to appropriate facilities for recovery and recycling. See the applicable scanner user guide for further details.
