4.9 Vascular Monitoring (Optional)

If the SONOTRAX Series Ultrasonic Pocket Dopplers are connected with 4MHz or 8MHz
probes, they can be used to do vascular monitoring, which meets most arterial and venous
assessment applications, including helping to detect arterial and venous disease, arterial and
venous flow studies and other application where detection of blood flow is important.
Choose appropriate probe as needed. The 8MHz probe has better resolution and wider
detecting range than the 4MHz probe, but the 4MHz has a deeper detecting depth.
Apply a liberal amount of gel on the site to be examined. Place the probe at 45º to the skin
surface over the vessel to be examined. Adjust the position of the probe to obtain the loudest
audio signal. Refer to figure 4-13 for the probe sites:

For best results, keep the probe as still as possible once the optimum position has been found.
Adjust the audio volume as required. High pitched pulsatile sounds are emitted from arteries
while veins emit a non-pulsatile sound similar to a rushing wind.
Vascular monitoring provides audio signals of arteries and veins. If it is done with
SONOTRAX Basic, SONOTRAX Basic A, SONOTRAX Pro, SONOTRAX II or
SONOTRAX II Pro, the figure displayed on the LCD screen is null.
