The ultrasound probe is now operational. Over time, air bubbles may form and adhere to the sur-
face. However, when the probe is held correctly in an up-right position for scanning (probe front
down/cable end up), air bubbles will normally not disturb.
If air bubbles adhere to the inside of the film causing shadowing effects in the image, they may be
released by gently tapping the probe. Otherwise, please replace the film after topping up with wa-
ter.

6.4.3 Using the probe

Dip the tip of the probe in a cup of water before each scan. The thin layer of water on the probe
will couple the ultrasound to the skin after positioning the probe.
Place the probe on the skin area to be scanned and spread the water
with "massaging" movements of the probe (see figure).
Keep the probe steady and press the Sample button. The probe will
perform and present one scan on the screen.

6.4.4 Cleaning

After scanning, or at least after eight hours of operation, the water barrier film shall be removed
disposing the water and the film and allowing the transducer to dry.
Arrange a container to collect the water coming from the probe head. The film can be peeled off
after gently pulling off the black ring.
The front piece parts may be cleaned in solutions of mild detergents suitable for plastics or wiped
off with alcohol for disinfection. Put the black ring back onto the scanning head without film for
storage.
