Introduction
The Quick Start Guide (TRANSLATED) provides a step-by-step description of the basic features and
operation of the LOGIQ 500. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the Basic User Manual in order to
provide the information necessary to operate the system safely .
The Quick Start Guide takes the user from system familiarization through power on, patient data entry , exam
category/preset selection, scan modes/adjustments, basic measurements, report pages, recording images
and power off.
The LOGIQ 500 manuals are written for users who are familiar with basic ultrasound principals and techniques. They do
not include sonography training or clinical procedures.
Prescription Device (for USA only)
CAUTION: United States law restricts this device to sale or use by or on the order of a physician.

To connect the system to the electrical supply:
S Ensure that the wall outlet is a minimum 20 amp dedicated circuit for 120 VAC (USA) or 7.5
amp dedicated circuit for 220–240 V AC (Europe).
S Make sure that the power switch is turned off.
S Unwrap the power cable. Make sure to allow sufficient slack in the cable so that the plug is
not pulled out of the wall if the system is moved slightly .
S Push the power plug securely into the wall outlet.
To power on the system, ensure that the Circuit Breaker, located on the back of the power
supply near the bottom of the unit, is turned on.
Press the Power On Power Off/Stand-by switch, located to the left of the probe connectors, to

Pressing the Comment key assigns the trackball function to controlling the cursor.
The Trackball and Keyboard Arrow keys are used to move the cursor to the desired position on the

Circumference/Area - Trace (B-Mode)
Perform a circumference/area using the trace method for calculations such as AC, HC, L VAMd, LVAd and % Stenosis.
Press Measurement twice to display a dot “” cursor on the screen.
Use the Trackball to move the dot “” cursor to the measurement start point. Press Set to change
the dot “” cursor to a “” cursor.
Use the Trackball to trace the measurement area. Press Set to fix the Circumference value
displayed on the bottom of the screen and calculate the area.
NOTE: When using the trace method, the Zoom Size/Rotation knob can be used to edit the trace
line. Turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to erase the line (bit by bit) back from its current point.
The erase function is limited to a small portion of the most recent trace.
Peak Velocity (Doppler)
Perform a peak velocity measurement for calculations such as RI, PI, S/D Ratio, Max PG and Mean PG.
Press Measurement. The “” cursor with a vertical dotted line appears.
Use the Trackball to move the cursor to the desired point of measurement in the Doppler Spectrum.
Press Set to fix the velocity cursor. The velocity measurement in m/s or cm/s will be displayed at
the bottom of the screen.
NOTE: The “Display MaxPG with Velocity” preset, located on Preset Program page 4, allows
MaxPG to be displayed with the Peak Velocity measurement.

Time Interval (M-Mode and Doppler)
Perform a time interval measurement for calculations such as HR, PHT and ET.
Press Measurement twice in M-Mode and four times in Doppler. A “” cursor with vertical dotted
lines appears when the cursor is in the M-Mode timeline/Doppler spectrum.
Use the Trackball to move the cursor to the measurement start point. Press Set to fix the first
cursor.
Use the Trackball to move the second cursor to the measurement end point. Press Set to complete
the measurement.
The time interval between the two cursors is displayed.
Erasing Measurements
Pressing Clear or unfreezing the image erases all measurements and calculations on the display.
Measurements and calculations, however, remain on the report pages.
Pressing New Patient erases all measurements and calculations on the display and clears the
report pages.
Rotating the Cine Scroll control erases measurements.
Adding a new measurement that exceeds the maximum number of allowable measurements erases
the first or oldest measurement.
