Important Notices
Do not attempt to install the system alone. General Electric, Affiliate, or Distributor Field Engineers and Application Specialists will install and setup the system. See ‘Contact Information’ on page 3-42 for more information.
NOTICE 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 te lev ision s ar ou n d the equipment.
Ensure that the following is provided for the new system:
A separate power outlet with a 20 amp circuit breaker for 120 VAC for 120V area, 7.5 amp circuit breaker for 220-240V AC for 220/240V ar ea or 15 amp circuit breaker for 100 VAC for Japan.
Take precautions to ensure that the console is protected from electromagnetic interference.
Precautions include:
Operate the console at least 5 meters (15 feet ) away
from motors, typewriters, elevators, and other sources of strong electromagnetic radiation (non-medical grade UPS must be at least 2 meters (6 feet) away from console).
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.

Brightness
Console Overview
Adjusting the monitor's brightness is one of the most important factors for proper image quality. If these controls are set incorrectly, the Gain, TGC, Dynamic Range and even Power Output may have to be changed more often than necessary to compensate.
The proper setup displays a complete gray scale. The lowest level of black should just disappear into the backgr ound and the highest white should be bright, but not saturated.
To adjust the brightness:
1. Press the right adjustment button to increase brightness.
2. Press the left adjustment button to decre ase brightness. The amount of brightness is shown on a slide bar on the
screen.
Figure 1-9. Brightness adjustment button

2. Adjust (-) Button
Record any changes to the final brightness settings and leave this information with the system. Generally speaking, do not change the controls once they have been set. Once set, the display then becomes the reference for the hard copy device(s).

In case of a system crash, power cycle the system. Upon boot-up, all images and measurements, except for generic worksheets, are preserved in the system. When the system returns, the system alerts you that unsaved images are still in the system from the previous patient. Respond to the prompt to continue the current patient. Check that all images and measurements have been preserved in the system. Then resume the exam.
If the system fails to respond to your commands within a typical period of time, you need to manually reset the system. Simply hold down the power switch to initiate a normal power down sequence. After the system has completely shut down (power switch amber), restart the system using the standard power-up sequence.

Beta View is not available while the image is Frozen, during an image Recall, during a Biopsy procedure, or during Volume Navigation. When these controls are selected, the Beta View Touch Panel control is hidden and unavailable.

CAUTION
CAUTION
Precautions Concerning the Use of Biopsy Procedures
Do not freeze the image during a biop sy procedure. The image must be live to avoid a positioning error.
Biopsy guidezones are intended to assist the user in determining optimal probe placement and approximate the needle path. However, actual needle movement is likely to deviate from the guideline. Always monitor the relative positions of the biopsy needle and the subject mass during t he procedure.
The use of biopsy devices an d accessor ies tha t have not b een evaluated for use with this equipment may not be com patible and could result in injury.
Probes
The invasive nature of biopsy procedures requires proper preparation and technique to control infection and disease transmission. Equipment must be cleaned as appropriate for the procedure prior to use.
Follow the probe cleaning and disinfection procedures and precautions to properly prepare the probe.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the cleaning of biopsy devices and accessories.
Use protective barriers such as gloves and probe sheaths.
After use, follow proper procedures for decontamination, cleaning, and waste disposal.

DANGER
The Biopsy Guidezone adjusts along with image adjustments, such as image inversion/rotations, zoom and dept h changes.
NOTE: To set up biopsy guidezones, refer to Table 16-9 for more
details.
The needle may vary from the center line or guidezone for various reasons:
Needle barrel to needle clearance or strength.
• Bracket manufacturing tolerance.
Needle deflection due to tissue resistance.
Needle size chosen. Thinner needles may deflect more.
Failure to match the guidezone displayed to the guide may cause the needle to track a path outside the zone.
It is extremely important that when using the adjustable angle biopsy guides, the angle displayed on the screen matches the angle set on the guide, otherwise the needle will not follow the displayed guidezone which could result in repeated bi op sies or patient injury.

Preparing the Biopsy Guide Attachment
Convex, Sector and Linear probes have optional biop sy guide attachments for each probe. The guide consists of a non-disposable bracket to attach to the probe, disposable needle clip to attach to the bracket, sheath, gel (sterile gel if necessary) and disposable needle barrels.
The disposable needle barrels are available for a variety of needle sizes.
Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions included in the biopsy kit.
The bracket is packaged non-sterile and is reusable. To avoid possible patient contaimination, ensure bracket is properly cleaned, sterilized or disinfected before each use.
Disposable components are packaged sterile and are single-use only. Do not use if integrity of packing is vilated or if expiration date has passed.

algorithm to reduce the unwanted effects of speckle in the ultrasound image. Image speckle usually appears as a grainy texture in otherwise uniform areas of tissue. Its appearance is related to image system characteristics, rather than tissue characteristics, so that changes in system settings, such as probe type, frequency, depth, and others, can cange the appearance of the speckle. Too much speckle can impair image quality and make it difficult to see the desired detail in the image. Likewise, too much filtering of speckle can mask or obscure desired image detail. Extra care must be taken to select the optimal SRI-HD level. SRI-HD is available in B-Mode imaging and may be used with any transducer or clinical application when image speckle appears to interfere with the desired image detail.

used to map the strength of the Doppler signal coming from the flow
rather than the frequency shift of the signal. Using this technique, the
ultrasound system plots color flow based on the number of reflectors
that are moving, regardless of their velocity. PDI does not map
velocity, therefore it is not subject to aliasing.

The current mapping is shown on the trackball mapping display area in the lower, right-hand corner of the display screen. Four Trackball keys surround the Trackball. These Trackball keys are mapped based on the current state of the system (live imaging, frozen imaging, measurements, etc.)
Trackball functionality is labeled on t he display. To activate new functionality for the Trackball, press the correct key adjacent to the Trackball, as indicated on the display.
Write zooming an image changes the frame rate which tends to change thermal indices. The position of the focal zones may also change which may cause the peak intensity to occur at a different location in the acoustic field. As a result, the MI (TI) may change.
Observe the output display for possible effects.
To zoom an image, adjust Zoom. A reference image appears in the lower , left-hand section of the display.
To exit zoom, adjust Zoom until the reference zoom image is removed or press B-Mode.
