►TURN ON THE USER FEEDBACK UNIT (UFU)
Hold the power button down until the boot screen appears on the display (5 sec) - the TruNode ‘App’
will launch (1 min) and the UFU will announce it battery state.
•Make sure the UFU battery is charged above 50% so it will last the procedures.
CAUTION:
If the battery charge is below 50%, turn off the UFU and charge it prior to use.
DO NOT USE THE CHARGER IN THE OPERATING ROOM.
•The flashing ‘M’ button on the UFU display indicates it is ready to link with a TruNode probe.
►CONNECT A TruNode® SINGLE-USE WIRELESS PROBE
After turning ON the UFU hold the Probe ‘M’ button down until the light on the Probe keypad is active.
•Probe life is 95-100 minutes of continuous use, for up to 4 hours after it first connects to any UFU.
•The Probe ‘sleeps’ after 10 minutes of inactivity (or 10 min used in Seed Mode) - reconnect by
pressing the ‘M’ button until the light on the probe flashes.
•If the Probe is not connected to an UFU it will ‘sleep’ after 30 seconds to conserve Probe life.
•The Probe can be used in its packaging to ‘pre-scan’ (initiates the 4-hour time limit).
•Use in Point or Scan Modes for Tc-99. Seed Mode for I-125.
►USING THE TruNode PROBE
Each button can be either ‘clicked’ or ‘pressed’ for 2 seconds to initiate a function.
•Most functions will be announced and displayed on the UFU.
•If the UFU battery depletes, TURN IT OFF, then connect to another UFU.
