About the Ultrasound Imaging System Start to use ultrasound app Ultrasound gel is a type of conductive medium that allows a close bond between the skin and the probe or transducer, causing the waves to transmit directly to the underlying tissues and the areas to be imaged. It is formulated to reduce static and act as a coupling agent.

When a smart device directly connects to the system. it disallows other user from connecting, and reduce DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. If the communication is disrupted, the device continues to monitor itself and shuts down after a period of inactivity.

well as the safety of the patient, you, and others. Only use this system if you have read, understood, and know all the safety information, safety procedures, and emergency procedures contained in this "Safety" section. Operating the system without proper awareness of safety use could cause fatal or other serious personal injury.

heater. If the battery leaks or emits an odor, turn-off the equipment and contact with Local representative. If the battery will remain unused for over a month, keep it between-20°C (-4°F) and 20°C (68°F) Do Not disassemble the device by yourself. The lithium battery may explode due to a short circuit.
Page 31
Acoustic Output and Measurement The system limits patient contact temperature to 43°C (109°F), and acoustic output values to their respective U.S. Food and Drug Administration limits. A power-protection circuit protects against over- current conditions. If the power monitor protection circuit senses an over-current condition, then the drive voltage to the transducer is shut off immediately, preventing overheating of the transducer surface and limiting acoustic output.

Mechanical(non-thermal) effects. Acoustic output limit: ISPTA.3 = 720 mW/cm^2 (50 for ophthalmic) for Track 3; for Track 3 ophthalmic, TI ≤ 6.0(Max TIS as TIC ≤1) MI ≤ 1.9 (0.23 for ophthalmic) for track 3; Mechanical Index (MI) (Non-Thermal) Ultrasound energy creates also mechanical forces independent of thermal effects, thereby causing biologic effects that are not related to temperature rise alone, such as...

width reduces the rate and extent of temperature rise by permitting the energy to be distributed over a larger perfusion territory. The TI informs the user about the conditions that exist that might lead to an increase in temperature at the surface of the body, within the body tissue, or at the point of focus of the ultrasound beam on bone.

vasculature and blood flow and the thermal properties of the surrounding tissue, which vary greatly. The bone TI derivation assumes all ultrasound energy is absorbed by the impinged bone. Thermal Index Display Accuracy and Precision It is estimated that 90% of TI values will be +/–...

each of these effects can be demonstrated in vitro, there is no evidence that any of these physical phenomena has a significant biological effect on patients. Ensure that scanning time is kept to a minimum and that only medically required scanning is performed.
Page 36
Not all diagnostic examinations can be performed at very low levels. In fact, using too low a level may result in poor data and the need to repeat the examination. Using too high a level may not necessarily increase the quality of the information, but it will expose the patient to unneeded ultrasound energy.
Page 37
let us reduce the exposure time to just the time necessary to obtain a useful image. Analysis and diagnosis can be performed with recorded images rather than lengthy live imaging sessions. The same can be said about 3D volumes, obtained by an examiner and analyzed by this examiner or someone else, with no exposure to the patient, at the bedside, the reading room, the other side of...

divided into three categories: direct, indirect, and receiver controls. Using System Controls to Implement ALARA Direct Controls: The system has no direct control for output, therefore the sonographer must control exposure time and scanning technique to implement the ALARA principle. To ensure that acoustic and thermal limits are not exceeded for all imaging modes, the system is designed to automatically adjust output.

mechanisms. The thermal index (TI) provides an indication of the risk of harm due to thermal mechanisms. The mechanical index (MI) is continuously displayed over the range of 0.0 to 1.9, in increments of 0.1. The thermal index further consists of the following indices: soft tissue (TIS), bone (TIB), and cranial bone (TIC).
Page 40
Transducer Frequency Color Controls Color Sector Width: Narrower color sector width will increase color frame rate and the TI will increase. The system may automatically decrease pulse voltage to stay below the system maximum. A decrease in pulse voltage will decrease the MI. Color Sector Depth: Deeper color sector depth may automatically decrease color frame rate or select a new color focal zone or...
