LOGIQ e Basic User Manual 1-3

Introduction

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 high­frequency 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.

CAUTION

CAUTION

The use of damaged probes can result in injury or increased risk
of infection. Inspect probes often for sharp, pointed, or rough
surface damage that could cause injury or tear protective
barriers. Become familiar with all instructions and precautions
provided with special purpose probes.

A damaged probe can also increase the risk of electric shock if
conductive solutions come in contact with internal live parts.
Inspect probes often for cracks or openings in the housing and
holes in and around the acoustic lens or other damage that
could allow liquid entry. Become familiar with the probe's use
and care precautions outlined in Probes and Biopsy.

Ultrasound transducers are sensitive instruments which can
easily be damaged by rough handling. Take extra care not to
drop transducers and avoid contact with sharp or abrasive
surfaces. A damaged housing, lens or cable can result in
patient injury or serious impairment or operation.

Ultrasound can produce harmful effects in tissue and
potentially result in patient injury. Always minimize exposure
time and keep ultrasound levels low when there is no medical
benefit. Use the principle of ALARA (A
A

chievable), increasing output only when needed to obtain
diagnostic image quality. Observe the acoustic output display
and be familiar with all controls affecting the output level. See
the Bioeffects section of the Acoustic Output chapter in the
Advanced Reference Manual for more information.

synthetic material, the relative
humidity should be at least 30%.
Mains power quality should be that of
a typical commercial and/or hospital
environment. If the user requires

mains interruptions, it is
recommended that the system be
powered from a UPS or a battery.
NOTE: UT is the a.c. mains voltage
prior to application of the test level.
Power frequency magnetic fields
should be at levels characteristic of a
typical location in a typical commercial
and/or hospital environment.
Separation distance to radio
communication equipment must be
maintained according to the method
below. Interference may occur in the
vicinity of equipment marked with the
symbol:

Image degradation or interference
may occur due to conducted RF noise
on the equipment mains power supply
or other signal cable. Such
interference is easily recognized and
distinguishable from patient anatomy
and physiological waveforms.
Interference of this type may delay the
examination without affecting
diagnostic accuracy. Additional mains/
signal RF isolation or filtering may be
needed if this type interference occurs
frequently.

NOTE: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people. If noise generated from other electronic
equipment is near the probe’s center frequency, noise may appear on the image. Good power line isolation
is required.

Acoustic Output

Located on the upper right section of the system display monitor,
the acoustic output display provides the operator with real-time
indication of acoustic levels being generated by the system. See
the Acoustic Output chapter in the Advanced Reference Manual
for more information. This display is based on NEMA/AIUM
Standards for Real-time Display of Thermal and Mechanic
Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment.

Acoustic Output Display Specifications

The display consists of three parts: Thermal Index (TI),
Mechanical Index (MI), and a relative Acoustic Output (AO)
value. Although not part of the NEMA/AIUM standard, the AO
value informs the user of where the system is operating within
the range of available output.

The TI and MI are displayed at all times. The TI display starts at
a value of 0.0 and increments in steps of 0.1 The MI display
values between 0 and 0.4 increment in steps of 0.01 and for
values greater than 0.4, increments in steps of 0.1.

Safety Precautions

Thermal Index Depending on the examination and type of tissue involved, the

TI parameter will be one of three types:

• Soft Tissue Thermal Index (TIS). Used when imaging soft
tissue only, it provides an estimate of potential temperature
increase in soft tissue.

• Bone Thermal Index (TIB). Used when bone is near the
focus of the image as in the third trimester OB examination,
it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in
the bone or adjacent soft tissue.

• Cranial Bone Thermal Index (TIC). Used when bone is
near the skin surface as in transcranial examination, it
provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in
the bone or adjacent soft tissue.

Controls Affecting Acoustic Output

The potential for producing mechanical bioeffects (MI) or
thermal bioeffects (TI) can be influenced by certain controls.

Direct. The Acoustic Output control has the most significant
effect on Acoustic Output.

Indirect. Indirect effects may occur when adjusting controls.
Controls that can influence MI and TI are detailed under the

Acoustic Output Default Levels

In order to assure that an exam does not start at a high output
level, the LOGIQ e initiates scanning at a reduced default output
level. This reduced level is preset programmable and depends
upon the exam category and probe selected. It takes effect

ECG (Option)

CAUTION

CAUTION

• ECG electrodes should not make contact with other
conductive parts, including earth.

• After the defibrillator stimulates the patient, the ECG needs
4 to 5 seconds for recovery.

• The quality of the ECG trace depends on the stability and
conductivity of the electrodes during the test, especially
during high stages when the patient’s movements can
cause artifacts.

• Make sure that the lead wires do not swing.

The device is not waterproof. Do not expose the device to
water or any kind of liquid. Maintain in a dry place:

• The exterior of the recorder may be wiped clean with a soft
cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents to clean the unit.
Do not immerse the unit in any liquid.

• Clean the cables with a hospital approved cleaning
procedure such as those recommended by AAMI or
AORN. Wiping the cables with a solution of soap and water
followed by a rinse with water is a simple yet effective
method to clean the cables. Do not immerse cables in
water.

• Worn or damaged patient cables are the most common
cause of poor ECG signals. ECG signals (or wave
patterns) that consistently contain noise or artifact may
suggest need for ECG wire or cable replacement.

• Store the device in a dry place.

• Always protect the recorder from coming into contact with
moisture. In rain or snow conditions, protect the recorder
from bad weather elements by wearing the recorder inside
a coat.
