The system is used with a transducer attached and is powered either by battery or by AC electrical power.
The clinician is positioned beside the patient and places the transducer onto (or into, for invasive procedures)
the patient's body where needed to obtain the desired ultrasound image.
For the intended transducer for each exam type, refer to
transducer"
on page 11.
The system transmits ultrasound energy into the patient's body to obtain ultrasound images as described
below.
Abdominal imaging applications
You can assess the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, bile ducts, transplanted organs, abdominal
vessels, and surrounding anatomical structures for the presence or absence of pathology transabdominally.
Cardiac imaging applications
You can assess the heart size and function, cardiac valves, great vessels, visualize blood flow through cardiac
valves, and assess for the presence or absence of pathology. In addition, you can identify the presence and
location of fluid around the heart and lungs used to assist in pericardiocentesis and thoracentesis procedures.
You can detect normal lung motion for the presence or absence of pathology. Gynecology and infertility
imaging applications
You can assess the uterus, ovaries, adnexa, and surrounding anatomical structures for the presence or
absence of pathology transabdominally or transvaginally.
Interventional imaging applications
You can use the system to provide ultrasound guidance for biopsy and drainage procedures, vascular line
placement, peripheral nerve blocks, amniocentesis, and other obstetrical procedures.
