The system is free from artefacts or distortion in the image or error of a displayed value, which can be attributed to a physiological effect and which may alter the diagnosis. The system displays correct numerical values associated with the diagnosis to be performed. The As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle is used and safety related indications (MI, TIS, TIB, etc) are displayed as worst-case values. The system does not generate unintended or excessive ultrasound output or transducer surface temperature. There is no unintended or uncontrolled motion of transducer assemblies intended for intra-corporeal use.
Intended Use The system is intended for diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body, data processing and guidance of puncture and biopsy. The system performs simple geometric measurements and calculations in the following areas: •
Urology
Environment The bkSpecto Ultrasound System is suitable for use in the professional healthcare facility environment (e.g. hospitals, physician offices).

Before You Start Before you turn on the system, make sure that the installation has been approved by a qualified electrician or by hospital safety personnel. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet and make sure that you can get to it easily when you need to turn off/unplug the system.
Height Adjustment The paddles underneath the keyboard lets you adjust the height and the angle of the system. Lift the right paddle to adjust the height , and the left paddle to turn the system so you can operate it without the wheels getting in your way.
Turning System On and Off When you turn the system on or off, you must give the system enough time to save and recover open files and unsaved data. Otherwise, a serious system failure may occur that requires technical support. The system has two power buttons, one on the monitor and one on the scanning engine:
Figure 2-1. The power button on the monitor and on the scanning engine, respectively.
This switch helps you to preserve the battery when the system is stored or otherwise not in use for a period. To turn the system on: Press the power button once, then wait until startup screen disappears. To turn the system off: Make sure system is running. Press the power button once. Note that if you purchase the battery version of bkSpecto, it also has a Battery Preserve Switch located underneath the scanning engine:
Figure 2-2. Battery Preserve Switch. See location at “The bkSpecto System” .
This switch is described in “Battery Life” on page 50.
