General Information
Product specifications for this transducer can be found in the Product Data sheet that
accompanies this user guide.
Acoustic output data and data about EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) for this
transducer are in Technical Data (BZ2100) that accompanies this user guide. A full
explanation of acoustic output data is given in your scanner user guide.
Service and Repair
Caring for the Transducer
The transducer may be damaged during use or processing, so it must be checked
before use for cracks or irregularities in the surface. It should also be checked
thoroughly once a month following the procedure in Care, Cleaning & Safety .

Cleaning and Disinfection
To ensure the best results when using BK Medical equipment, it is important to
maintain a strict cleaning routine.
Full details of cleaning and disinfection procedures can be found in Care, Cleaning
& Safety that accompanies this user guide. A list of disinfectants and disinfection
methods that the transducer can withstand are listed in the Product Data sheet.
Sterile covers are available. See the Product Data sheet for more information.
Starting Scanning
All equipment must be cleaned and disinfected before use.
Connecting the Transducer
The transducer is connected to the scanner using the array Transducer Socket on the
scanner. To connect, the transducer plug’s locking lever should first be in a horizontal
position. Align the plug to the scanner socket and insert securely. Turn the locking
lever clockwise to lock in place.
When connected, the transducer complies with Type B requirements of EN60601-1
(IEC 60601-1).
Changing Frequency
The Multi-Frequency Imaging (MFI) facility enables you to select the scanning
frequency. See the applicable scanner user guide for instructions. The selected
frequency is displayed at the top of the screen.
Using a Transducer Cover
The transducer should be enclosed in a transducer cover or a standard condom. See
the Product Data sheet for a list of available transducer covers.
WARNING
Users of this equipment have an obligation and responsibility to provide the highest
degree of infe tion ontrol possible to patients, o-workers and themselves. To avoid ross
ontamination, follow all infe tion ontrol poli ies for personnel and equipment
established for your offi e, department, or hospital.
WARNING
Keep all plugs and so kets absolutely dry at all times.
Latex allergy
WARNING
Be ause of reports of severe allergi rea tions to medi al devi es ontaining latex ( natural
rubber), FDA is advising health- are professionals to identify their latex-sensitive patients
and be prepared to treat allergi rea tions promptly.

Apply gel to the tip of the transducer. This improves the screen images by preventing
image artifacts caused by air bubbles.
Pull the transducer cover over the transducer.
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.
Using the Transducer Control Button
The control button on the transducer controls the scanning.
Press the button to Start or Stop scanning (freeze frame). Press the button for more
than one second to make a copy of the image.
The transducer makes a “beep” sound each time you press the button.
The button function can be customized. For more information, see the user guide for
the scanner.
Changing Orientation
To change the orientation of the image on the monitor, refer to the applicable scanner
user guide for instructions.
Puncture and Biopsy Facilities
Needle Guide UA1239
The UA1239 needle guide (Figure 3) is designed for guiding puncture and biopsy
when used with Type 8822 (see Figure 4).
It consists of:
• A bracket for attaching the needle holder to the transducer.
• The needle holder, which features a three-winged shaft that can be rotated in the
barrel of the needle holder to accomodate different sized needles.
Use the screw to adjust the angle of penetration.
Use 0.9 mm (20 Gauge), 1.3 mm (18 Gauge), or 2.1 mm (14 Gauge) needles with the
needle guide.
WARNING
Use only water-soluble agents or gels. Petroleum or mineral oil-based materials may harm
the over materials.
WARNING
It is essential for the patient’s safety that only the orre t needle guide is used with Type
8822. Never use unauthorized ombinations of transdu ers and needle guides or other
manufa turers’ needle guides.

8822 User Guide (BB2018-B) 9
Figure 3. Needle guide UA1239.
The bracket has a 30°, 45°, or 60° angle of insertion to the image axis; these are
shown on the image as lines of dots.
To mount the UA1239 on the 8822:
1 Hold the transducer in your left hand with the black operating button facing
away from you.
2 Hold the UA1239 in your right hand with the adjusting screw facing towards
you, the two “legs” pointing to the left, and the movable swing arm pointing
down.
3 Slide the two legs down over the transducer into the recessed grooves.
4 Lock the swing arm into position at the neck end of the transducer. An audible
click indicates when the needle guide is securely attached.
Figure 4. The needle guide mounted on Type 8822.
To alter the angle of the needle-guide holder:
1 Loosen the adjustable screw by turning it one quarter revolution counter-
clockwise.
2 Select the desired angle (60°, 45°, 30°).
WARNING
Ensure the bra ket is positioned orre tly.

3 Re-tighten the adjustable screw.
To select the correct needle barrel:
1 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.
2 Push the three-winged handle fully back down into its socket.
3 Slide in the desired needle (or catheter).
To detach the needle during interventional procedures:
1 Raise the three-winged handle approximately 3 mm and rotate counter-
clockwise through 60° until halted by the small metal nub.
2 The needle (or catheter) can now be released from the needle guide attachment.
All parts of the needle guide can be autoclaved or disinfected by immersion in a
suitable solution.
Performing Puncture and Biopsy
Cover the transducer with a sterile transducer cover.
If the transducer cover is damaged when attaching the needle guide, replace it with a
new cover.
See the Product Data sheet for a list of available transducer covers.
Superimpose
pun ture line
Press the scanner Puncture or Biopsy control button to superimpose a puncture line
on the scan image.
If more than one puncture line is available, refer to the applicable scanner user guide
for instructions on how to change which one appears.
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
It is essential for the patient’s safety that only the orre t pun ture atta hments, as
des ribed in this guide, are used. Never use unauthorized ombinations of transdu ers
and pun ture atta hments or other manufa turers pun ture atta hments.
Before beginning a pun ture or biopsy pro edure, always he k that the type number of
the transdu er and the type number or des ription of the pun ture atta hment mat h
exa tly those displayed on the s anner monitor.
WARNING
The pun ture line on the s an image is an indi ation of the expe ted needle path. The
needle tip e ho should be monitored at all times so any deviation from the desired path
an be orre ted.

8822 User Guide (BB2018-B) 11
To remove the puncture line from the scan image, refer to the applicable scanner user
guide for instructions.
Figure 5. Puncture lines for UA1239 on Type 8822.
Cleaning after Puncture and Biopsy
If biological materials are allowed to dry on the transducer or needle guides,
disinfection and sterilization processes may not be effective. Therefore, you must
clean needle guides and transducers immediately after use.
Use a suitable brush to make sure that biological material and gel are removed from
all needle guides and other channels and grooves. See Care, Cleaning & Safety for
cleaning instructions.
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.
WARNING
If the needle guide is deta hed from the transdu er during interventional pro edures,
over the transdu er with a new transdu er over.
WARNING
When performing a biopsy, always make sure that the needle is fully drawn ba k inside the
needle guide before moving the probe.
WARNING
For ontaminated disposals su h as transdu er overs or needle guides, follow disposal
ontrol poli ies established for your offi e, department or hospital.
