General Information This user guide forms part of the bk3000 & bk5000 user guide. Please refer to the bk3000 & bk5000 user guide for safety information regarding bkFusion. Before using the equipment, please make yourself familiar with the information in the accompanying user information documents. Some documents are printed. Make sure that you also read the transducer user guide and specifications for each transducer that you use.

bkFusion Hardware Configuration The following image shows the hardware configuration of bkFusion:

EM Sensor and E14C4t Transducer The Sensor attaches via the Sensor Clamp to the Transducer. The Transducer transmits ultrasound data to the System. The position of the Sensor is detected by the EM Transmitter.

EM Transmitter (mounted on stand) The EM Transmitter detects the position of the Sensor electromagnetically, and transmits the data to the EM Control Unit.

bk3000 Ultrasound System with bkFusion Software The System receives ultrasound data from the Transducer, and Sensor positioning data from the EM Control Unit. EM Control Unit The EM Control Unit receives the position of the sensor from the EM Transmitter, and transmits the position of the Sensor to the ultrasound system.

Configuring bkFusion Hardware bkFusion is compatible with the USB foot switch, which can be set as ‘mouse left-click’. See the bk3000 & bk5000 Advanced User Guide for foot switch configuration information. 1. Connect the EM Control Unit to the bk3000 system using the USB cable (USB ports are located in the rear of the CPU). Connect the power cable, then switch the unit ON.

2. Connect the EM Transmitter to the EM Control Unit: Insert the Transmitter cable into the Transmitter socket until an audible ‘click’ is heard.

3. Connect the Sensor to the EM Control Unit: Insert the Sensor cable into socket 1 until an audible ‘click’ is heard.

E14C4T (9018)

E13C2 (9029) Open the Sensor Clamp and push the Sensor into the channel, as indicated. The small indentation on the tip of the Sensor must be facing the groove in the Sensor Clamp channel.

4. Push the Sensor into the Sensor Clamp channel. The small indentation on the tip of the Sensor must be facing the groove in the Sensor Clamp channel, as indicated.

Align the hole in the Sensor Clamp with the transducer button. 5. Slide the other Sensor Clamp channel over the steel stud on the side of the transducer until a ‘click’ is heard. Press the two ends of the Sensor Clamp together until a ‘click’ is heard.

6. The numbered and colored scale under the ultrasound image on the system monitor represents the Sensor’s proximity to the EM transmitter. Green represents the closest, and therefore optimal, proximity. To mitigate EM interference, the signal should be either 0 or 1.

You will see the virtual transducer and grid superimposed on top of the MRI image (see Fig 2-22). Place the virtual transducer in the rectum (approx. 3mm from the posterior wall of the prostate), and adjust the angle accordingly with the trackball and the Select key. Move the virtual transducer until the blue base plane is aligned with the base slice of the prostate. When the virtual transducer is in the correct location, click Save As, enter a description, then click OK.

To Biopsy with bkFusion NOTE:

1. Avoid contour adjustments while the probe is out of plane. 2. Always relax the prostate when making adjustments to bkFusion. 3. Always verify anterior prostate registration when targeting the anterior zone, due to inherent deformation. 1

After starting the procedure, the most recent study (set by default at the approximate mid-gland contour) is superimposed on top of the ultrasound image in the upper screen. If no contours are displayed, or to see a list of older contours associated with the patient, click the Load Contours button. To align the contoured prostate with the prostate displayed in the ultrasound image (if necessary), press the top button on the transducer (or press the Change Plane key on the keyboard) to select the sagittal plane. Move the transducer along its axis until the contour matches the outer boundary of the prostate, as in Fig 2-28. Contours can be realigned using the Select key and the and buttons on the right side of the screen. When the ultrasound image and the prostate contour are correctly aligned, the Lock Fusion button on the left side of the screen will become active. Click the Lock Fusion button. Press the bottom button on the transducer (or press the Change Plane key on the keyboard) to select the transverse plane, and repeat the steps above. NOTE: Click the Reset Alignment button to undo all contour alignments and return to the approximate mid-gland contour. NOTE: For end-fire biopsies, align in sagittal end-fire and adjust in transverse end-fire. The contoured prostate is superimposed on top of the ultrasound image
