CHAPTER 1
Introduction This SonoSite SII Ultrasound System User Guide provides information on preparing and using the SonoSite SII ultrasound system and on cleaning and disinfecting the system and transducers. It also provides system specifications, and safety and acoustic output information. The user guide is for a reader familiar with ultrasound techniques. It does not provide training in sonography or clinical practices. Before using the system, you must have ultrasound training. Refer to the applicable FUJIFILM SonoSite accessory user guide for information on using accessories and peripherals. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific information about peripherals.
Conventions The user guide follows these conventions: A WARNING describes precautions necessary to prevent injury or loss of life. A Caution describes precautions necessary to protect the products. A Note provides supplemental information. Numbered and lettered steps must be performed in a specific order. Bulleted lists present information in list format but do not imply a sequence. Symbols and terms used on the system and transducer are explained in “Labeling symbols” on page 119 and the “Glossary” on page 169.

CHAPTER 2
Getting Started About the system The SonoSite SII ultrasound system is a portable, software-controlled device using all-digital architecture. The SonoSite SII includes the following configurations: S-Total S-Vascular S-Vet The system has multiple configurations and feature sets used to acquire and display high-resolution, real-time ultrasound images. Features available on your system depend on system configuration, transducer, and exam type.
License Key A license key is required to activate the software. Refer to “Software licensing” on page 88. On occasion, a software upgrade may be required. FUJIFILM SonoSite provides a USB device containing the software. One USB device can upgrade multiple systems. Basic steps 1 Turn the system on. For power switch location, refer to Figure 2-1 on page 4. 2 Attach a transducer. 3 Tap Patient, and then tap Information. 4 complete the patient information form. If all imaging modes are licensed, press Mode, and select an imaging mode. Note
By default, the system is in 2D imaging.
3
Preparing the system Components and connectors The back of the system has compartments for the battery and two transducers as well as connectors for USB devices, power cord, network cable, and more. Refer to Figure 2-1.

Installing or removing the battery WARNING
To avoid injury to the operator and to prevent damage to the ultrasound system, inspect the battery for leaks prior to installing.
WARNING
To avoid data loss and to conduct a safe system shutdown, always keep a battery in the system.
To install the battery 1 Ensure the ultrasound system is turned off. 2 Disconnect the power supply. 3 At the back of the system, slide the four prongs on the end of the battery into the slots on the right side of the battery compartment.
5
4 Push the battery into the battery compartment and press until the latch engages.
To remove the battery 1 Ensure the ultrasound system is turned off. 2 Disconnect the power supply. 3 Slide the locking lever on the left side of the battery, and lift the battery up.
Using AC power and charging the battery The battery charges when the system is connected to the AC power supply. A fully discharged battery recharges in less than five hours. When the system is connected to AC power, the system can operate and charge the battery at the same time. Depending on the imaging mode and the display brightness, the system can run on battery power for up to two hours. When running on battery power, the system may not restart if the battery charge is low. If the system will not start due to a low battery condition, connect the system to AC power.
6
WARNING
The equipment shall be connected to a center-tapped single phase supply circuit when users in the United States connect the equipment to a 240V supply system.
Caution
Verify that the hospital supply voltage corresponds to the power supply voltage range. Refer to “Electrical specifications” on page 126.
Chapter 2
To operate the system using AC power Cautions
Be sure to keep the battery inserted in the system even if the system is connected to the AC power supply.
1 Connect the DC power cable from the power supply to the power connector on the system. Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 4. 2 Connect the AC power cord to the power supply, and then plug it in to a hospital-grade electrical outlet. To separate the system (and any connected equipment) from a supply mains
Caution
The equipment is not provided with the AC mains power switch. To disconnect the equipment from mains, use the appliance coupler or mains plug on the power supply cord. Install the ultrasound system in a place where you can easily connect or disconnect the AC power cord. Disconnecting only the DC power cable from the system does not separate the system from the supply mains.
Disconnect the AC power cord from the stand base.
Turning the system on or off Caution
Do not use the system if an error message appears on the display. Note the error code and turn off the system. Call FUJIFILM SonoSite or your local representative.
To turn the system on or off Press the power switch. Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 4. To wake up the system
To conserve battery life while the system is on, the system goes into sleep mode if untouched for a preset time. To adjust the time for sleep delay, refer to “Audio, Battery settings” on page 25. Press a key, or touch the touchpad.
7
Connecting transducers WARNING
To avoid injury to the patient, do not place the connector on the patient. The ultrasound system should only be operatedwhen mounted to the SonoSite SII stand.
Caution
To avoid damaging the transducer connector, do not allow foreign material in the connector.
To connect a transducer 1 Pull the transducer latch up, and rotate it clockwise. 2 Align the transducer connector with the connector on the back of the system. 3 Insert the transducer connector into one of the transducer ports on the system.
4 Turn the latch counterclockwise.
8
5 Press the latch down, securing the transducer connector to the system.
To remove a transducer 1 Pull the transducer latch up, and rotate it clockwise.
2 Pull the transducer connector away from the system.
Inserting and removing USB storage devices Images and clips are saved to internal storage and are organized in a sortable patient list. You can archive the images and clips from the ultrasound system to a PC using a USB storage device. Although the images and clips cannot be viewed from a USB storage device on the ultrasound system, you can remove the USB storage device and view the images on your PC. You can also import and export user accounts and the Event log using a USB storage device. There are three USB ports located on the back of the system near the top. For additional USB ports, you can connect a USB hub into any USB port.
WARNINGS
To avoid damaging the USB storage device and losing patient data from it, observe the following: Do not remove the USB storage device or turn off the ultrasound system while the system is exporting. Do not bump or otherwise apply pressure to the USB storage device while it is in a USB port on the ultrasound system. The connector could break.
9
Caution
If the USB icon does not appear in the system status area on-screen, the USB storage device may be defective or password-protected. Turn the system off and replace the device.
Note
The system does not support password-protected USB storage devices. Make sure that the USB storage device you use does not have password protection enabled.
To insert a USB storage device Insert the USB storage device into a USB port on the system. Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 4. The USB storage device is ready when the USB icon appears. To remove a USB storage device Removing the USB storage device while the system is exporting may cause the exported files to be corrupted or incomplete. 1 Wait at least five seconds after the USB animation stops. 2 Remove the USB storage device from the port.
