INTRODUCTION

The tester is meant for breeders, veterinarians, insemi-
nators 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 ultra-
sound 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 de-
tected, 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 ani-
mals’ health.
The device has been specially designed to be user-friend-
ly, easy to clean and to give rapid results.
Manufacturer – DRAMIŃSKI S.A. Company will share with
its knowledge and experience to all users and simultane-
ously reserves the rights to make changes or technical/
software improvements to its products.
DRAMIŃSKI S.A. company reserves the rights to make
changes in the instruction manual.
Read this instruction manual carefully before starting to
use the ultrasound scanner. It will guarantee safe usage
and long lasting, reliable functioning of the device.
Declaration of the device’s conformity is available at
the DRAMIŃSKI S.A. company’s oce at Owocowa 17,
10-840 Olsztyn, Poland.

A red diode signals that the battery has discharged
(see part CHANGING THE BATTERY).
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.
Preparing the detector
The device is supplied with an installed battery. 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
S.A. service centre.

The pregnancy tester is used to detect early preg-
nancy, however the test should be performed in
recommended terms (see Table 1).
• The tip (head) of the probe should be immersed
in moisturising liquid (vaseline oil, liquid paran,
cooking oil or technical oil).
• Moisture the animal’s skin in the appropriate place.
It is necessary for the probe to have a good contact
with the animal’s skin.
• If the examination is performed at a very early
stage of pregnancy, it denitely must be repeated
at the right time (see the table).

How to press the probe
• The probe should be held quite rmly, however it
shouldn’t be pushed too hard in order to avoid sig-
nicant skin deformation.
• Point the ultrasound beam towards the head at the
right angle (see the picture 1). Pointing the beam
close to a vertical position or backwards may cause
the beam to reect from the full bladder and gen-
erate a false pregnancy result.
• If the moistened probe is placed correctly, the
device will signal good contact with the animal’s
body by changing the light of the green diode
from continuous into regularly ickering one (fre-
quency of 1 second) and a tone signal pulsating
with the same frequency.
• This is when you should delicately move the probe
in dierent directions to penetrate the abdominal
cavity, where ultrasounds will meet the uterine
horn lled with amniotic uid.
• If amniotic uid is detected, the light and sound
signal will start pulsating intensely (with the fre-
quency of 4-5 times per second).
If the result of the test in a particular place is nega-
tive (the signal indicating good contact fails to
change into a more intense one), the examination
should be repeated in another place, rst closer to
the rear leg and then further from it (remember-
ing that both the probe and the skin need to be
well moistened).
If the pregnancy signal is not obtained despite care-
ful penetration of the abdominal cavity, the result
of the examination should be considered negative,
provided that it has been such for three consecu-
tive days.
