8808e User Guide (BB1856-F) Introduction 5
Introduction
This is the user guide for Prostate Biplane Transducer Type 8808e and must be used
together with Care and Cleaning which contains important safety information.
Indications for Use
Prostate Biplane Transducer Type 8808e is designed for transrectal prostate imaging.
Figure 1. Prostate Biplane Transducer Type 8808e.
Imaging Plane
The transducer contains two convex arrays — one for transverse (T) imaging, and one
for sagittal (S) imaging (see Figure 2). The advantage of being able to view two planes
simultaneously with one transducer is that the true position of the needle can be seen
during puncture and biopsy and a suspicious lesion can be viewed in both planes.

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 and Cleaning .
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 and
Cleaning 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.
WARNING
If at any time the system malfunctions, or the image is severely distorted or degraded, or you
suspect in any way that the system is not functioning correctly:
• Remove all transducers from contact with the patient.
• Turn off the system. Unplug the system from the wall and make sure it cannot be used
until it has been checked.
• Do not try to repair the system yourself.
• Contact your BK Medical representative or hospital technician.
WARNING
Always keep the exposure level (the acoustic output level and the exposure time) as low as
possible.
WARNING
Service and repair of BK Medical electromedical equipment must be carried out only by the
manufacturer or its authorized representatives. BK Medical reserves the right to disclaim all
responsibility, including but not limited to responsibility for the operating safety, reliability
and performance of equipment serviced or repaired by other parties. After service or repairs
have been carried out, a qualified electrical engineer or hospital technician should verify the
safety of all equipment.
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

8808e User Guide (BB1856-F) StartingImaging 7
Starting Imaging
All equipment must be cleaned and disinfected before use.
Connecting the Transducer
The transducer is connected to the system using the array Transducer Socket on the
system . To connect, the transducer plug’s locking lever should first be in a horizontal
position. Align the plug to the system socket and insert securely. Turn the locking
lever clockwise to lock in place.
When connected, the transducer complies with Type BF requirements of EN60601-1
(IEC 60601-1).
Changing Frequency
The Multi-Frequency Imaging (MFI) facility enables you to select the imaging
frequency. See the applicable system 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.
Apply sterile gel to the tip of the transducer or fill the cover with 1 to 2 ml of sterile
water. 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 imaging. Re-apply
the gel frequently to ensure good screen images.
WARNING
Keep all plugs and sockets absolutely dry at all times.
WARNING
Because of reports of severe allergic reactions to medical devices containing latex ( natural
rubber), FDA is advising health-care professionals to identify their latex-sensitive patients
and be prepared to treat allergic reactions promptly.
WARNING
Use only water-soluble agents or gels. Petroleum or mineral oil-based materials may harm
the cover materials.

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.
The puncture line will differ depending on the imaging plane orientation. In the
sagittal plane, the puncture path is indicated by a line of dots. The distance between
each puncture dot is 5mm.
WARNING
It is essential for the patient’s safety that only the correct puncture attachments, as described
in this guide, are used. Never use unauthorized combinations of transducers and puncture
attachments or other manufacturers puncture attachments.
Before beginning a puncture or biopsy procedure, always check that the type number of the
transducer and the type number or description of the puncture attachment match exactly
those displayed on the system monitor.
WARNING
The puncture line on the image is an indication of the expected needle path. The needle tip
echo should be monitored at all times so any deviation from the desired path can be
corrected.

14 March 2017 8808e User Guide (BB1856-F)
In the transverse plane, a single dot indicates the point at which the needle will
transect the imaging plane.
To remove the puncture line from the scan image, refer to the applicable system user
guide for instructions.
Cleaning after Puncture and Biopsy
If biological materials are allowed to dry on the transducer, disinfection and
sterilization processes may not be effective. Therefore, you must clean transducers
immediately after use.
Use a suitable brush to make sure that biological material and gel are removed from
all channels and grooves. See Care and Cleaning 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 system user guide for further details.
WARNING
If the needle guide is detached from the transducer during interventional procedures, cover
the transducer with a new transducer cover.
If the cover is damaged during interventional procedures, follow the policies of the hospital
or clinic for treatment of the patient under such circumstances.
WARNING
When performing a biopsy, always make sure that the needle is fully drawn back
inside the needle guide before moving the probe.
WARNING
For contaminated disposals such as transducer covers or needle guides, follow disposal
control policies established for your office, department or hospital.
