Coupling gels
ApplyingIn order to assure optimal transmission of energy between the 
patient and probe, a conductive gel or couplant must be applied 
liberally to the patient where scanning will be performed.
PrecautionsCoupling gels should not contain the following ingredients as 
they are known to cause probe damage:
•  Methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, or any other alcohol-based 
product

Probe Discussion
Introduction
The LOGIQ 5 supports four types of probes: 
• Active Matrix Array (Convex and Linear).  Active Matrix 
Array probes are usually designated by the prefix/suffixM.
• Curved Array (Convex).  Curved Array (Convex) probes, 
including `micro convex, are usually designated by the 
prefix/suffix C; the endocavity probe is designated by the 
prefix/suffix E.
• Linear Array.  Linear Array probes are...

Precautions Concerning the Use of Biopsy Procedures
WARNINGDo not freeze the image during a biopsy procedure.  The image 
must be live to avoid a positioning error.
Biopsy guidezones are intended to assist the user in 
determining optimal probe placement and approximate the 
needle path.  However, actual needle movement is likely to 
deviate from the guideline.  Always monitor the relative...
