Connecting the Probe

CAUTION

LOGIQ E9 User Guide
Direction 5454884-100 English Rev. 1
Probes can be connected at any time, regardless of whether the
console is powered on or off. To ensure that the ports are not
active, place the system in the image freeze condition.
1. Place the probe's carrying case on a stable surface and
open the case.
2. Carefully remove the probe and unwrap the probe cord.
3. DO NOT allow the probe head to hang free. Impact to the
probe head could result in irreparable damage. Use the
integrated cable management hook to wrap the cord.
Inspect the probe before and after each use for damage or
degradation to the housing, strain relief, lens, seal, cable
and connector. DO NOT use a transducer which appears
damaged until functional and safe performance is verified. A
thorough inspection should be conducted during the
cleaning process.
4. Hold the probe connector vertically with the cable pointing
upward.
5. Align the connector with the probe port and carefully push
into place.
Before inserting the 3CRF, S1-5, S4-10, or 6Tc probe
connector into the left-most (non-DLP) probe port (see
Figure 1-16 on page 1-28), inspect the probe connector pin.
If the pin is bent, do not use the probe until it has been
inspected and repaired/replaced by a GE Service
Representative.
6. Turn the connector locking handle to the right to secure the
probe connector.
7. Carefully position the probe cord so it is free to move and is
not resting on the floor.
Fault conditions can result in electric shock hazard. Do not
touch the surface of probe connectors which are exposed
when the probe is removed. Do not touch the patient when
connecting or disconnecting a probe.
