1 Field of application DOPPY is a battery powered, small sized, ultrasound diagnostic device. With the device blood flow and/or heart activity can be examined, by means of one of the replaceable sensors which have operational frequencies different from each other. With the application of the 8 MHz sensor near surface blood vessels can be examined, while with the 4 and 5 MHz sensors the blood vessel situated deeper can be...
2 Examples for the application possibilities of sensors with various frequencies: 2 MHz – examination of deep situated blood vessels, or embryonic cardiac sound • Assured indication of the embryo’s existence. • Examination of the living embryo, starting from the 15 to 16 week calculated from the last menstrual period, at the earliest.

• Evaluation of the patient’s condition. • Accurate determination of the location of blood vessels for the administration of injections or infusions. • Inspection of the functioning of the shunt (Cimino- fistula) in the course of artificial kidney dialysis. • Estimation of the amount of intact blood vessels in the case of a burn injury.
3 Operational description In the process of the examination the device emits a low-intensity ultrasound beam into the body, which reverberates from the boundary surfaces of various, different internal tissues. The sensor detects the reverberated ultrasound. If the internal surfaces are in motion, the frequency of the reverberated signals changes.
5 Operation Connect the proper sensor to the PROBE socket. For application, place the sensor on the skin and turn the device on by pressing the button for a short time. The green light of the battery light indicates, that the device is on.

gel has to be spread on the sensor head as well. Do not use saline gels applied for EKG devices, because they cause damage to the US (ultrasound) sensors! DOPPY operates with one 9 volt battery, independently of network electricity. The information regarding battery charging is described in items 6 and 7.
charging according to item 4.2 also suggests a malfunction. 7 Charging the battery Low battery, in the case of a device which is turned on, this fact is indicated by the changing of the battery light from green to yellow. If the battery light continuously glows with yellow light, then turn the device off and commence the charging of the battery according to the following:...

term storage of the device with low battery may also lead to the damage of the battery, therefore before storing it for an extended period of time it’s advisable to fully charge the battery! The charging of the battery is controlled by electronics built into the device, which ensure the optimal charging of the battery and prevent its overcharging as well.

• Always place the 4, 5 and 8 MHz sensor on the skin gently, so the pressure won’t interfere with blood flow! • If the examination is targeted at the blood vessels immediately under the skin (such as the arteries of the fingers), then the end of the sensor should be pulled back a bit from the skin’s surface.

Fetal heart beat examination: • Place ample ultrasound gel on the head and slowly move it around on the mother’s belly, until you can hear a clear, characteristic fetal heart sound. • You can achieve the best quality heart sound if the examination head is in the most favorable posi- tion.
9 Cleaning, disinfecting Use a soft textile dampened with water for the cleaning of the device and the sensors. In the course of cleaning, you should pay attention, so water or other fluids can’t leak into the interior of the device and the sensor through the gaps on the device-case and the sensor (such as the speaker grate, switch).
10 Environmental and other conditions for the usage, storage and transportation of the device Temperature data: +10 °C - +40 °C Operational temperature range: -40 °C - +55 °C Transportation temperature range: -20 °C - +55 °C Storage temperature range: Humidity data: Operational humidity: 30% - 95 %...
