How to Set Up Your SONOIMAGE Ultrasound System？
A simple step-by-step guide to help you set up your ultrasound system for the first time:
Unbox the Device
Carefully remove the ultrasound machine, probes, power adapter, and accessories from the package.
Hardware Connections
1.Connect the power adapter to the machine and a power source.
2.Plug in the probes into the designated probe ports.
3.Connect optional accessories like footswitch, printer, or ECG module if available.
Initial Setup
1.Power on the device using the main switch.
2.Adjust the monitor angle for comfortable viewing.
3.Set the system language and preferences via the settings menu.
Quick Start Guide for First-Time Users
Follow these quick steps to begin scanning:
1.Power On
Press the power button and wait for the system to boot up — usually within 12 seconds.
2.Select Probe
Attach the desired probe for your exam type (e.g., convex for abdomen, linear for vessels).
3.Choose Exam Preset
Select the appropriate preset from the menu (e.g., Abdomen, OB/GYN, Cardiac).
4.Apply Ultrasound Gel
Apply sufficient gel to the probe or the patient's skin to ensure proper signal conduction.
5.Start Scanning
Begin scanning and adjust image parameters like gain, depth, and frequency for optimal imaging.
6.Save Images/Clips
Use the save button to store images or video clips. Data can be saved in BMP, JPG, or DICOM formats.
Understanding Ultrasound Probes
Ultrasound probes come in various types, each suited for specific clinical applications:
Convex Probe:
Low frequency, suitable for deep structures like abdomen, OB/GYN, and general examinations.
Linear Probe:
High frequency, best for superficial tissues, vascular studies, small parts, thyroid, and MSK.
Phased Array Probe:
Used for cardiac imaging, providing small footprint and deep penetration.
Microconvex Probe:
Ideal for pediatric or veterinary use, providing detailed images of smaller structures.
Endocavity Probe:
Designed for internal examinations such as transvaginal or transrectal scans.
Each probe can be easily identified by its shape and connector type, ensuring compatibility with SONOIMAGE devices.
