PLACING PROBE IN STEPPER AND OPTIMIZING INSERTION PROFILE
NOTE: For GE Healthcare ERB transducer: Transducer handle must be removed.
1. Open the cradle latch.
2. Place and orient transducer into the cradle.
3. Close cradle latch and tighten knob.
4. Loosen grid rail locking knobs and pull back on grid rail so grid platform is out of the way for initial transducer positioning.
NOTE: Free longitudinal movement achieved by fully disengaging longitudinal movement detent knob by turning counterclockwise. Enable stepping
n
function by turning knob clockwise until tight.
Free rotation of cradle achieved by disabling rotational movement detent knob by turning counterclockwise. Enable rotational detent by
n
turning knob clockwise until tight.
DEVICE INSPECTION
1. Stepper should hold transducer securely, allow smooth rotation and precise movement along longitudinal axis of the transducer.
FUNCTIONAL PREUSE CHECKS
WARNING
Prior to each use perform the following checks to ensure optimal stepper performance.
n
1. Rotate longitudinal movement knob to ensure carriage moves freely through full range of linear travel and performs stepping function.
2. Rotate cradle to ensure movement through full range of rotational travel.

CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER

WARNING
Do not use a USB hub.
n
The EX3 Stepper should only be connected to an IEC 60950-1 approved computer.
n
The computer is not to be used in the patient treatment environment.
n
1. To transmit information on probe position connect USB 2.0 cable from EX3 Stepper directly to computer with validated treatment planning software.
2. To safely terminate operation, remove USB 2.0 cable from computer.
Validated Treatment Planning Software
MIM Software™ MIM Symphony™
Varian VariSeed™
Varian Vitesse™
NOTE: Refer to treatment planning software manufacturer for version compatibility.
ADJUSTING THE STEPPER AND STABILIZER
1. Grasp handles of FAM and loosen locking control knob on stabilizer.
®
For Micro-Touch Stabilizer: Adjust weight by turning weight adjustment knob on stabilizer to achieve desired feel to equipment.
2. Obtain satisfactory transducer position and starting image, tighten locking control knob on stabilizer.
3. Use FAM to optimize position of probe.
4. Install sterile drape and grid, position grid platform appropriately and secure with grid rail locking knobs (refer to Accessories section).
5. To manually set longitudinal scale, loosen drum locking knob and position rotary scale drum at zero. Tighten drum locking knob to secure.
WARNING
Before using assembled equipment, verify needle position is correctly aligned with grid display on the ultrasound monitor. If needle position is not
n
correctly aligned with display, adjust grid platform.
If locking control knob on stabilizer will not hold unit securely in place, please contact CIVCO.
