INTRODUCTION

The tester is meant for breeders, veterinarians,
inseminators and advisory services experts. It is very
helpful in situations when it’s necessary to detect
pregnancy fast in its early phase. ULTRASOUND
PREGNANCY DETECTOR is used to conrm
pregnancy in sows, goats and ewes by detecting
amniotic uid in the uterus.
The probe applied to the animal’s skin sends an
ultrasound beam which is reected from uterine
horn lled with uid and returns to the probe,
causing a change of signal generated by the device.
When pregnancy is detected, the sound starts to
pulsate more intensely and a green diode is ashing.
ULTRASOUND PREGNANCY TESTER was designed in
such a way to operate it easily and perform fast and
eective examinations. The device is completely
safe for animals’ health.

A red diode signals that the battery has discharged.
A green diode is closely linked with the tone signal-
ling. When the power is on, the diode will shine.
When the front of the ultrasound head comes into
a good contact with the animal’s body, the diode
will begin to icker with the same frequency as the
tone signal – about one impulse per second.
Upon detecting pregnancy, diode ickering and fre-
quency of the tone emitted by the sound generator
will increase signicantly - up to 4-5 impulses per sec-
ond.
The ultrasound probe is small and handy, so that it
can be manipulated easily.
Preparing the detector
At the beginning of each examination, a cable con-
necting the probe with the device should be care-
fully connected. Next, the power should be turned
on - this will cause the diode to shine a continuous
light, which indicates that the device is operable
and ready to use.
If during the operation or directly afterwards, the
red diode starts to shine, in addition to the green di-
ode, this means that the battery should be replaced.
The device has an automatic switch o system.
After 3-4 minutes from switching on the device, it
will switch o automatically. It allows for saving the
battery in case of accidental start-up or forgetting
to switch o the device between or after examina-
tions.

A test to check the operation of the device
After connecting the probe and switching on the de-
vice, a test to check its operation may be performed:
• Moisten the head of the probe and then apply it to
the inner side of your forearm, several centimetres
from the wrist.
• Manipulate the probe as long as an intermittent
signal is heard, which indicated good contact
with the skin (pulsating light and sound - about 1
impulse / sec.). Insucient amount of water may
cause lack of such signal.
• Put the probe tip to a glass of water (at least half
a glass), pointing the ultrasound beam towards the
bottom - the device will start up the same signal as
when pregnancy is detected (intensely pulsating
light and sound, 4-5 impulses per second).
Any other reaction of the device may indicate dam-
age. In such a case you must contact the Dramiński
service centre.
