3.1 Handling Instructions
1. Remove acrylic cover that protects the scanning membrane.
2. Fill the scanning cavity with water or suitable coupling material.
3. Apply the appropriate transducer to the membrane using normal pressure. The phantom material
and membrane are semi-elastic but can be damaged if excessive pressure is used.
4. Test ultrasound equipment in accordance with procedures suggested above or AIUM
recommendations.
5. When all testing is complete, remove excess coupling material and replace the protective acrylic
cover.
6. It is suggested that the phantom be stored at room temperature, avoid extreme temperatures.
7. Zerdine will desiccate over time if the water tight envelope is compromised. If there is a noticeable
change in the phantom or the case and/or membrane are damaged, the phantom should be
returned immediately for repair or replacement.
