Getting Started Principles of Operation Medical ultrasound images are created by computer and digital memory from the transmission and reception of mechanical high-frequency waves applied through a transducer. The mechanical ultrasound waves spread through the body, producing an echo where density changes occur. For example, in the case of human tissue, an echo is created where a signal passes from an adipose tissue (fat) region to a muscular tissue region. The echoes return to the transducer where they are converted back into electrical signals. These echo signals are highly amplified and processed by several analog and digital circuits having filters with many frequency and time response options, transforming the high-frequency electrical signals into a series of digital image signals which are stored in memory. Once in memory, the image can be displayed in real-time on the image monitor. All signal transmission, reception and processing characteristics are controlled by the main computer. By selection from the system control panel, the user can alter the characteristics and features of the system, allowing a wide range of uses, from obstetrics to peripheral vascular examinations. Transducers are accurate, solid-state devices, providing multiple image formats. The digital design and use of solid-state components provides highly stable and consistent imaging performance with minimal required maintenance. Sophisticated design with computer control offers a system with extensive features and functions which is user-friendly and easy to use.

Operator Profile
NOTE:
•
Qualified and trained physicians or sonographers with at least basic ultrasound knowledge.
•
The operator must have read and understood the user manual.
Only qualified physicians or sonographers should perform ultrasound scanning on human subjects for medical diagnostic reasons. Request training, if needed. Image Acquisition is for diagnostic purposes, including measurements on acquired images.

Getting Started Indications for Use (continued) CAUTION
This machine should be used in compliance with law. Some jurisdictions restrict certain uses, such as gender determination.
WARNING
To avoid injury to the patient, be sure to select the Ophthalmic or Orbits preset under ED before eye scanning begins. The system will not exceed the acoustic energy limits for ophthalmic use only if the Ophthalmic or Orbits preset is selected. Only the applicable probes can be used for eye exams. See ‘Applications’ on page 5-24 for more information.
NOTE:

Getting Started Before the system arrives The ultrasound unit must operate within the proper environment and in accordance with the requirements described in this section. Before using the system, ensure that the requirements are met. Power Requirements A separate power outlet with a 6 amp circuit breaker for 220-240 VAC or a 10 amp circuit breaker for 100-120 VAC. Electromagnetic interferences This medical equipment is approved, in terms of the prevention of radio wave interference, to be used in hospitals, clinics and other institutions which are environmentally qualified. The use of this equipment in an inappropriate environment may cause some electronic interference to radios and televisions around the equipment. Ensure that the following is provided for the new system: •
Take precautions to ensure that the console is protected from electromagnetic interference. Precautions include:
CAUTION
1-8
•
Operate the console at least 15 feet away from motors, typewriters, elevators, and other sources of strong electromagnetic radiation.
•
Operation in an enclosed area (wood, plaster or concrete walls, floors and ceilings) helps prevent electromagnetic interference.
•
Special shielding may be required if the console is to be operated in the vicinity of radio broadcast equipment.
Do not operate the system in the vicinity of a heat source, of strong electric or magnetic fields (close to a transformer), or near instruments generating high-frequency signals, such as HF surgery. These can affect the ultrasound images adversely.
