1.1 Probe information
1.1.1 Probe types and corresponding applications
The probes provided with the Imago device are the following :
• LB760P Linear Rectal probe, 7,5 MHz (this rectal probe is used
for gynaecology and reproduction diagnosis).
• LB760 S Linear Rectal probe, 7,5 MHz (this rectal probe is used
for gynaecology and reproduction diagnosis).
• CB360S Convex probe, 3.5 MHz (this external probe is used for
the following applications : general, abdominal, obstetrics).
• LB740R Linear probe, 7.5 MHz (this external probe is used for the
following applications: general, orthopedics, small parts).
• SB355M Mechanical probe, 5 MHz (this external probe is used
for the following applications: general, abdominal, small parts).
• DB355M Mechanical probe 5 MHz (this rectal probe is used for
gynaecology and also abdominal, small parts).
1.1.2 Handling of probes
• Probes are fragile and require careful handling, care and
cleaning. Probe care includes daily inspection, cleaning and
disinfection between animals. Please refer to chapter 5 for
further instructions.
• Do not bend or twist the probe cable. If the probe housing
becomes cracked or broken or there are cuts or openings
in the cable, the electrical safety of the probe may be
compromised.
• Do not immerse the probe connector in any liquid. Immersion
can destroy the electrical safety features.
1.1.3 Ultrasound gel
Some ultrasound gels and lotions can damage probes.
Agents containing the following chemicals are known to damage
probes:
• Acetone
• Methanol
• Denatured ethyl alcohol
• Mineral oil
• Iodine
• Any lotion or gel that contains perfume.
Check gel contents before use.
2. Getting started
2.1 Connection and disconnection of probes
To connect a probe, place the probe connector in the slot on the
back left of the scanner with the connector pointing upwards. Turn
the locker in the middle of the connector with slight pressure to
engage the locking mechanism. When the mechanism is engaged,
push and make a quarter turn clockwise so that the probe is
connected.
The probes can be changed during the examination without
restarting the scanner, just freeze the image before.
To disconnect a probe, make a quarter turn anti-clockwise to
unlock the connector. Take the connector out of the scanner and
store the probe safely, protected from any shocks.
2.2 Starting of the device
Only supplied power cord can be used to power the system. To
start the ImaGo, ensure a probe is connected and press the power
switch on the right side of device.
The ImaGo equipment starts in B mode with the probe connected.
If no probe is connected, the system will display ‘no probe’.
Connect a probe and press ‘Freeze’, or restart the equipment.
To turn off, press the power switch again and a shutdown
procedure will run before the system turns off.
