Connecting And Using Transducers - Siemens ACUSON Cypress Operator's Manual

Connecting and Using Transducers

Snap the Probe Holder into the air vents on the back of the Cypress system.
Place the transducer connector gently into the Probe Holder. Insert the trans-
ducer connector gently into the receptacle. The transducer connector is keyed
to allow proper insertion. The cable should always be facing in the down direc-
tion.

FIGURE 4.
Do not force the transducer connector into position. If you feel excessive resis-
tance remove the connector and try again.
When attempting to scan, if a message that no transducer is connected appears
on the screen, the transducer connector may not be securely attached. Remove
the connector and try again. When the Cypress is powered up and a transducer
is inserted, an audio signal indicates that the transducer has been inserted cor-
rectly.
When the transducer is not in use, store it in the holder on the back of the sys-
tem. When transporting the system in a vehicle or over any long distance place
transducers securely in a separate packing case.
See "Safety, Technical Description, and Accuracy" on page 9-1 for important
information on transducer cleaning and infection control.
