1.3. Brief information on ultrasound examination
Ultrasound devices are widely used in medicine. Particularly useful and commonly used is the method of real-
time imaging which enables two-dimension graphic presentation of a tissue cross-section in the 256 grey-scale,
the so called B-Mode (Brightness Mode). Additionally, coloured Doppler ultrasonography used to evaluate the
vascular flows is becoming more and more significant.
Diagnostic effectiveness of ultrasonography is considered to be high, but effects of working with this method are
significantly impacted by the quality of the device, individual experience, the user's individual knowledge, as well
as observing the ultrasound scanning standards and familiarization with the user manual.
1.4. Basic information about the ultrasound scanner
DRAMIŃSKI 4Vet Slim is a modern device which can be powered from a battery pack or directly from the power
grid 110-230 V. The ultrasound scanner operates on the bases of a small-size computer system. The special
features of the device are: function control via the touch panel, small size and weight as well as a strong
aluminium casing which hides technically advanced electronics which guarantees top quality imaging.
DRAMIŃSKI 4Vet Slim is a unique diagnostic device. Its small size and an additional battery power supply
make this ultrasound scanner a modern and ergonomic working tool. It can be used as a desktop or portable
device. It has a flat high quality LCD LED monitor which guarantees bright imaging of high resolution, which
makes the work easier in almost any conditions.
DRAMIŃSKI 4Vet Slim is an ultrasound scanner designed for diagnostic purposes, to monitor the progression
of the disease and to evaluate the physiological condition of the organs. It may be used for:
- examination of abdominal cavity organs,
- gynecological and obstetrical diagnostics,
- vascular flow imaging,
- examination of musculoskeletal system,
- examination of lungs,
- examination of heart.
The user has a black-and-white mode of real-time examination and a mode using the function of the Color
Doppler.

2. User's safety
Warning! - The user's and the patient's safety depends on observing the
below mentioned instructions!
1. DRAMIŃSKI 4Vet Slim is a device which has to be used for diagnostic purposes only by highly trained
personnel –doctors proficient in ultrasound diagnostics.
2. It is necessary to disinfect the probe before each use. Other elements of the ultrasound scanner should
be disinfected in reasonable situations as they can have a contact with infectious substances.
3. It is not acceptable to use the ultrasound scanner with high frequency (HF) devices at the same time.
4. The ultrasound scanner cannot be used for trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) examinations.
5. In the places where explosive and anesthetic gases are used the use of the ultrasound scanner is
prohibited for safety reasons.
6. The device is suitable indoor use.
7. It is recommended the user of the ultrasound scanner perform regular technical inspections every two
years at the manufacturer’s facility or approved service point. It will guarantee the highest level of safety
of the patients.
8. It is forbidden to carry out ultrasound diagnostics when carrying out de-fibrillation.
9. It is forbidden to dismantle the device, repair and adjust it yourself except for the procedures stated in
this manual.
10. It is recommended the users of ultrasound scanner check periodically the head cable and the connector
in the view of mechanical damages.
11. If mechanical damages of the head, cable or connector are noticed it is necessary to send the device to
have it serviced.
12. Even though the ultrasound scanner has a strong construction in order to avoid mechanical damages it
is recommended to follow the instructions presented in this manual.
13. Exposing this device to strong solar radiation should be avoided, the temperature range recommended
on the labels of the device and its parts should be observed instead.
14. It is forbidden to modify the device by the user.
15. DRAMIŃSKI 4Vet Slim is an electric device which can be a source of electromagnetic radiation. Other
electric devices can interfere with its work, which is why it is recommended to limit the number of other
electric devices working nearby.
16. When its service life expires in order to avoid risk to the environment, the device and the accessories
should be disposed of by specially trained units according to the applicable regulations or sent back to
the manufacturer.
17. During the examination the device cannot be connected to the ETHERNET (via LAN).
18. It is recommended to connect external monitors and printers meeting the medical requirements.
19. In order to avoid electric shock the device should be connected to a grounded outlet.

3. The list of DRAMIŃSKI 4Vet Slim elements and equipment
4. Construction of DRAMIŃSKI 4Vet Slim ultrasound scanner
The device comprises several main elements:
1. Body of scanner
2. Ultrasound probe
3. AC adapter
4. Table stand
4.1. The casing
The casing is made of high quality aluminum.
At the front side there is a high quality LCD LED monitor, diagonal 10.4 inches. The monitor is characterized
with wide view angles and resolution which guarantees high quality ultrasound imaging. It has a touch panel to
control the functions of the scanner.
The functions and the buttons on the user panel and their descriptions are presented in the further part of the
manual.
At the back side of the casing there is a socket to connect the probes, loudspeaker and the system of fixing the
battery pack. There are inlets and outlets of the active ventilation system essential for proper and prolonged

The ultrasound scanner can be connected to a printer and a monitor meeting specific requirements and
having relevant medical certificates.
Warning!
For safety reasons external devices should not be connected to the ultrasound scanner
when examination is in progress.
During the examination the ultrasound scanner must not be connected to the ETHERNET
network via LAN.
4.2. Ultrasound probe.
The DRAMIŃSKI 4Vet Slim ultrasound scanner can cooperate with different types of electronic probes. The
basic types of probes most often used in diagnostic practice are as follows:

Attention!
It is possible to use other types of electronic probes. Users interested in other types of ultrasound
probes should contact the manufacturer of the DRAMIŃSKI 4Vet Slim ultrasound scanner.
4.3. DRAMIŃSKI battery pack
These are Li-Ion type batteries. They are equipped in a thermal cut-off which protects against overheating while
charging. In the pack casing, there are two sockets. One is used for connecting the batteries to the device; the
other is used for connecting a charger cable.

DRAMIŃSKI 4Vet Slim user manual
_________________________________________________________________________________________
14
The batteries are expected to last for about 500 charging cycles. Due to the use of high capacity batteries, it is
possible to work up to 4 hours with one battery. For charging the batteries there is a specially adapted charger
with the parameters guaranteeing correct charging of the pack. The charging time of the pack is about 3 hours.
The details how to charge and use the batteries are described further in the manual.
4.4. Battery charger
Attention! The charger is an independent device used to charge the
batteries. It is not used to supply power to the DRAMINSKI 4Vet Slim device
from the outlet.
Attention! To charge the pack, use only the original charger delivered with the
ultrasound scanner (Type: 2440 LI). The plug of the charger is compatible with
the socket at the battery set and cannot be connected to the power socket.
4.5. AC adapter
The adapter is used to power the DRAMINSKI 4Vet Slim device only. The parameters of the adapter guarantee
safe operation for the user, the patient and for the device itself.
Input: 100-240V/ 50-60Hz max 1.5 A
Output: 18.0V, 3.34A
Warning!
The device can be powered from the mains only by using attached certified adapter. The
use of another adapter can cause damage to the user and can permanently damage the
device.
All service repairs must be performed with the power off.
If there is necessary to interrupt the work of the device the power ON/OFF button should
be pressed or the adapter cable should be plugged out.
