To be Ordered Separately
Having the correct transducer(s) available is CRUCIAL for performing Ultrasound examinations.
Additional transducers are most likely required. See Edge 2 Ultrasound Probes (accessories).
Transducer needs vary by project site. To order the most suitable transducers for your site, please contact POCUS@msf.org or the POCUS advisor for your section for further advice.
Consider ordering a backup of the transducer the project uses most frequently.
Recommended additional orders
MSF code | Item | Notes |
EDIMULSS206 | Charger L09823+ Power Cord - EU P00864 | 2-prong “EU” plug – Recommend 1 backup depending on plug type |
EDIMULSS207 | Charger L09823+ Power Cord - UK P07444 | 3-prong “UK” plug – Recommend 1 backup depending on plug type |
EDIMULSS801 | Battery - ultrasound | Recommend 1 backup |
EDIMULSC1CA* | Ultrasound Gel, 250 ml bot.) | Consumption: 1 bottle = 10 exams, order min 40/month |
SDISMDQA1T5** | Disinfection DETERGENT/DISINFECTANT for med. equip. 5 L tin + dosing pump | Diluted solution needed for daily IPC |
PELEVOLL207T*** | Voltage Protection - VOLTAGE LIMITER with timer, 180-265V, 7A, EUR, for fridge | For voltage stabilization, if needed |
*Ultrasound exams are not possible without gel! Please order months in advance, and recommend ordering more than necessary until exact usage/month is well known. This gel has a long shelf-life with no temperature requirements. NEVER use alcohol or oil based products (Sterilium, povidone-iodine, alcohol gel, gel cleansers) as these may damage the transducer. Sterile lubrication or plain WATER may be used as alternatives.
**Only 0.5% Anios Clean diluted solution, made fresh daily, should be used to clean transducers. This is required after EVERY patient exam. Surfanios is NOT approved as a cleaning solution and may damage the transducers. NEVER use alcohol or oil based products (Sterilium, povidone-iodine, alcohol gel, gel cleansers) as these may damage the transducer.
*** Only necessary if the electrical network is NOT already protected by MSF standard double-conversion UPS
Instructions for use
If gel is not readily available, it can be replaced with water. Never use alcohol, oil or any other fluids as they can damage the transducer.
If a patient shows infectious lesions, the end of the transducer must be covered with a male condom or glove during the examination.
For advanced obstetric applications, a vaginal transducer (ICT x/ 8-5MHz) can be ordered separately (see accessories). This transducer is intended for trained and experienced users. It must always be used with a male condom.
Precautions for Use
It is mandatory to protect the device with a double conversion UPS, and a voltage limiter with timer (see related articles below)
Maintenance
The transducer is not autoclavable.
After each examination, it must be cleaned and disinfected with a 0.5% detergent-disinfectant solution for medical equipment (either 25 ml = 1 stroke of dosing pump for 5 liters of water).
Storage
- Temperature between +10°C and +40°C
- Relative humidity: 15 - 95 %
- Atmospheric pressure: 700 - 1050 hPa
MSF requirements
This high-resolution ultrasound system offers such performance features as larger cart-based systems in a hand-carried, stand-alone unit.
Alternative to the MSF standard Sonosite M-turbo.
- The Edge 2 is Sonosite's newer version of the M-turbo. The M-turbo was introduced in 2007 while the Edge 2 was introduced in 2016.
- The performance and image quality of the Edge 2 are very similar to the M-turbo but it has an even sturdier design and features newer technology.
- The interface and functionality of the Edge 2 is very similar to the M-turbo and in our experience, most MSF users are quite satisfied with the M-turbo. Users who are already accustomed to the M-turbo will adapt very quickly to the Edge 2.
5-year warranty on ultrasound system and transducers and excellent technical and customer service support from Sonosite
