The 8823 is a multifrequency convex array transducer with a sector angle of 61°. The 8823 is ergonomically designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is designed for kidney, general abdominal and pediatric examinations. 

Interventional Procedures

The 8823 can use the UA1250 stainless steel puncture attachment. The UA1250 has a variable bore diameter of 0.6 to 2.4 mm and an angle of insertion of 18°. Single-use needle guides A0013, are also available with puncture attachment kit UA1341. UA1341 has avariable diameter of 0.6 to 2.4 mm and an angle of insertion of 18°. The ultrasound scanner superimposes a puncture line on the scan image to help you guide the needle to its target.

 

Multifrequency Imaging

 

Multifrequency imaging (MFI) is standard on BK Medical scanners. The 8823 has a broad bandwidth with 4 frequencies, giving clear, precise images.

 

Cleaning and Disinfection

 

The 8823 is supplied with a lid that fits over the connector plug to protect it during disinfection. When the lid is attached, the 8823 can be fully immersed in a suitable solution (see Specifications), and it can be processed with STERIS SYSTEM 1®. The UA1250 puncture attachment  can be disinfected by immersion and can be autoclaved. Single-use needle guides must be discarded after use. The UA1341 bracket can be disinfected by immersion in a suitable solution. Sterile transducer covers are available.

 

Safety

 

The 8823 is designed and tested in accordance with EN60601-1 (IEC60601-1), “Medical Electrical Equipment, General Requirements for Safety.” When used with BK Medical ultrasound scanners, Type B requirements are met.

 blankEndorectal Biplane Transducer Type 8808e for BK Medical Ultrasound Scanners   

 

General Description

Type 8808e is a biplane transducer designed for use with BK Medical’s Flex Focus 1202 ultrasound scanner. It has two convex arrays, one for transverse scanning and one for sagittal scanning.

images 

Applications

The 8808e is designed for transrectal scanning. It has a dynamic focus extension of 3 to 58 mm in both planes and a sector angle of 126°. The 8808e is particularly useful for transrectal puncture. The advantage of viewing both the sagittal and transverse planes is that the needle is visible throughout the puncture and biopsy procedures. The transducer includes a simultaneous biplane feature that enables both planes to be visualized live at the same time.

 

A magnetic wheel mover is available. This scanner controlled positioner rotates the transducer to produce a series of images that are used as a basis for 3D imaging.    

Interventional Procedures

  

Transrectal Biopsy

 

Transrectal puncture and biopsy can be performed using simultaneous biplane scanning, where both the sagittal and transverse planes are visualized live at the same time, the advantage is that the needle is visible in both planes throughout the puncture and biopsy procedures. Use reusable biopsy guide UA1326 or sterile-packed single-use UA1322-S.  The biopsy guides have an internal diameter of 1.6mm (17 gauge).

  

Transperineal Biopsy

 

The metal puncture attachment UA1324 is designed for transperineal puncture and biopsy. It consists of a needle guide and a mounting ring with a locking clamp. The needle guide has nine parallel guide channels spaced 5mm apart, each with an internal diameter of 2.1mm (14 gauge). The guide channels are angled at 0° to the transducer’s longitudinal axis and 90° to its transverse axis. The needle guide can be adjusted 70mm lengthwise with respect to the mounting ring, using the adjustment screw.

  

Multifrequency Imaging

 

The transducer transmits at 5, 6, 8 and 10 MHz. It can be used for tissue harmonic imaging with the Flex Focus 1202 ultrasound scanner.

  

Cleaning and Disinfection

 

The 8808e can be disinfected by immersion in the solutions listed under Specifications. The puncture attachments can be disinfected by immersion and can be autoclaved. Single-use biopsy guides are also available. Sterile transducer covers are available.

  

Safety

 

The 8808e is designed and tested in accordance with EN 60601-1 (IEC 60601-1), “Medical Electrical Equipment, General Requirements for Safety.” When used with BK Medical’s ultrasound scanners, Type BF requirements are met. throughout the puncture and biopsy procedures. The transducer includes a simultaneous biplane feature that enables both planes to be visualized live at the same time. A magnetic wheel mover is available. This scanner controlled positioner rotates the transducer to produce a series of images that are used as a basis for 3D imaging. 

 

 

Uses

  • Transrectal scanning of the prostate
  • Transrectal puncture of the prostate
  • Transperineal puncture
  • Spectral and CFM Doppler examinations
  • Tissue harmonic imaging

 

Benefits

  • Superior resolution
  • Simultaneous biplane visualization
  • Built-in control buttons
  • Specially designed built-in transrectal biopsy guide for easier biopsies
  • Sterile-packed single-use biopsy guide
  • Transperineal puncture guide
  • Compatible with modern sterilization methods

Convex Array Transducer Type 8830 for BK Medical Ultrasound Scanners

General Description

 

The transducer is a convex array and designed for use with BK Medical ultrasound scanner Flex Focus 1202. 8830 can be used for high resolution B-mode, spectral and CFM Doppler.

 blank
 blankApplications

 

8830 is a convex array transducer with multifrequency capabilities and a sector angle of 60°. 

It is ergonomically designed for the operator. The lightweight and carefully designed handle allows the operator to use a lighter grip, exert less pressure, and thus reduce strain during scanning. Its wide array, scanning angle and penetration depth make the 8830 transducer ideal for general abdominal, fetal Doppler and obstetric examinations.

  

Interventional Procedures

The 8830 can use the UA1250 stainless steel needle guide designed for interventional procedures. The UA1250 has a variable bore diameter of 0.6 to 2.4 mm and an angle of insertion of 18°. Single-use needle guides UA0013, are also available with needle guide kit UA1341. UA0013 has a variable diameter of 0.6 to 2.3 mm. The needle may be positioned at a fixed angle of 18° or 36.5° to the image axis using UA0013.The ultrasound scanner superimposes puncture lines on the scan image to help you guide the needle to its target.  

Multifrequency Imaging

 

Multifrequency imaging (MFI) is standard on BK Medical scanners. The transducer has a broad bandwidth and transmits at 2.5, 3.5, 5 and 6MHz, giving clear, precise images. The transducer is optimized for tissue harmonic imaging. 

  

Cleaning and Disinfection

 

The 8830 (except the plug) can be immersed in a suitable solution (see Specifications). Needle guide UA1250 can be disinfected by immersion and can be autoclaved. Single-use needle guides must be discarded after use. The UA1341 bracket can be disinfected by immersion in a suitable solution. Sterile transducer covers are available.
