6.5.4 Cleaning

Please refer to cleaning of the Standard Probe section 6.4.4.

6.5.5 The Subcutaneous Ultrasound imaging screen

The screen facilitates simultaneous presentation of two images – e.g., a new image in comparison
with a previously saved recording or two new recordings from different body locations.
One of the image positions is considered the active window, indicated by the light green top bar
(A). Select the active position by clicking inside the window.
New recordings as well as previously saved images being opened will appear in the active win-
dow.
Activating the Start button (B) will record a new ultrasound image.
The Gain (ultrasound sensitivity), used when recording the ultrasound image, may be adjusted
using the left/right arrows (C). Note: The new gain applies to the next image being recorded and
will not change already recorded and saved images. The gain used at the time of recording an im-
age is displayed on top of the image as "Stored Gain".
Supportive text may be entered into the text fields (D). Zoom, Measure and Intensity can be ena-

ages to the internal memory. All measurement data are saved together with the image for future
reference. Previously saved images may be loaded using the Open button.
