All packages should be closely examined at time of delivery. If damage is
apparent, have notation of ”bad order” placed by the delivering driver on
all copies of the freight or express bill. If damage is of a concealed nature,
notify transportation agent as soon as possible to make an ”inspection report
of damage” but in any event not later than 15 days after delivery. A transportation company usually will not pay a claim for concealed damage if an
inspection is not requested within this 15 day period. Complete instructions
regarding claim procedure are found in section ”S” of the Policy & Procedure Bulletins.
If shipment was handled by moving van service - uncrated - call Traffic Milwaukee immediately when any damage is found. Do not attempt to call
any local agent. At this time be ready to describe type of damage, type of
equipment, serial numbers and if possible the order number.
The above paragraph is in regard to equipment requiring installation only,
and does not apply to supply items. The F.O.B. point for these items is as

2–1 FOREWORD
This chapter describes various general electrical, operational, and environmental considerations that should be considered before installing the RTfino/RT3200 Advantage–II/RT–x200 Ultrasound Unit.
2–2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This unit is an ultrasound scanner designed to aid the physician in diagnosing diseases. See Illustration 2–1 for a
pictorial view of the machine.
2–2–1 Ultrasound Imaging
This unit allows the physician to “see into” the patient’s body, using high frequency ultrasound imaging. When the
physician places the transducer on a patient’s skin, acoustic pulses are transmitted into the body, reflected, and returned to the transducer. These returns, called echoes, are processed, amplified, and projected on a video monitor to
form an image of the area scanned in the patient’s body.
2–2–2 Imaging Functions
P9030GX
All necessary imaging functions are performed by this console and its transducers. The console front panel contains
operator controls for optimizing the image and a keyboard for entering data onto the image. Selected key LEDs illuminate when their respective key is pressed. Unacceptable keyboard entries trigger a beeper alarm. In addition, a
graphics controller central processing unit automatically superimposes certain machine parameters over the edges of
the image.

2–3 ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Electrical conduit, junction boxes, outlets, circuit breakers, and switches should be in place before installing this
Console. It is customer’s responsibility to ensure proper environmental and electrical Power Requirements are
satisfied prior to installation.
2–3–1 Power Supply
This unit operates on 1 15 or 220 VAC, single phase, 50/60 Hz power . Maximum current drawn is 5.0 amps at 120 VAC,
and 2.0 amps at 220/240 V AC. The 115 VAC main circuit breaker is rated at 15A; the 220/240 VAC version at 10A.
Voltage setup is performed in the factory, because different rear panels containing different power cables and circuit
breakers are used for the115 V AC and 220 VAC versions.
2–3–2 Leakage Current
T otal ground leakage from any exposed conductive surface to ground is less than 100 microamps (For UL 544). T otal
ground leakage is less than 500 microamps (For 220V). Patient leakage current is less than 10 microamps. (These
parameters are checked during installation). This unit is classified as Class I, type BF equipment in accordance with
IEC–601–1.
P9030GX
2–3–3 Power Line Requirements
The following power line parameters should be monitored for one week before installation. We recommend that a
Dranetz Model 605–3 Power Line Monitor with option 101 be used:
PARAMETER:LIMITS
Voltage Range: U.S.: 103–127 VAC
: Europe: 206–254 VAC
: Far East: 90–110 VAC
Power: U.S.: MAX. 500 VA
: Europe: MAX. 500 VA
: Far East: MAX. 500 VA
Line Frequency: All applications: 50/60Hz (+/– 2Hz)
Power Transients: Less than 25 % of nominal peak voltage for less than 1 millisecond for any type of
transient, including line frequency, synchronous, asynchronous, or aperiodic
transients.
Decaying Oscillation : Less than 15 % of peak voltage for less than 1 millisecond.
2–3–4 Transient Protection
If testing indicates excessive transients occur, we recommend that a transient suppressor be installed, such as the
Isolatrol Model LAI–115 made by Control Concept Corporation.

RTfino/RT3200 Advantage–II/RT–x200 SERVICE MANUALGE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
REV 2
2–3–5 Facility Power Receptacle
A separate power outlet with a 15 amp circuit breaker for 1 15 VAC units, or a 10 amp circuit breaker for 220 V AC units,
is recommended. The specific power receptacle used depends on your country’s power line standards.
For U.S. applications, use an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) approved Hospital Grade receptacle. For Canadian applications, the receptacle should be approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). For other countries, the
receptacle should have International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) approval.
2–4 PHYSICAL SPECIFICA TIONS
The RTfino/RT3200 Advantage–II/RT–x200 (excluding accessories) weighs 86 kg (190 lbs). See Illustration 2–2 for
dimensions.
2–4–1 Operating Conditions
This unit is designed to operate within a temperature range of 50 degrees F to 104 degrees F (15.6 degrees C to 40
degrees C), and a relative humidity range of 30 % to 75 %. (Non–condensing).
P9030GX
Patient Comfort
Despite permissible operating temperature and humidity tolerances, we recommend that ambient room temperature
be maintained between 68 and 79 degrees F (20 to 26 degrees C), Humidity should be maintained between 50 % and
70 % for patient comfort during ultrasound scanning.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
In general, the maximum EMI noise Field Strength Intensity should be no more than 100 dB uV/m within the 10 kHz to
100 MHz frequency range, as measured three meters from the this unit. If there is reason for concern, we recommend
that you measure EMI using a spectrum analyzer.
1.EMI sources should be located and their effects minimized. These noise sources include microwave ovens, certain types of electronic surgical equipment, and digital equipment such as desk top computers and terminals, gel
warmers, and AM radio broadcast sources.
2.Keep the unit at least 15 feet (approximately five meters) away from the above noise sources; preferably in another room since wood or plaster walls, doors, floors, and ceilings provide some EMI shielding. Special EMI shielding may be required to eliminate noise problems caused by high frequency , high powered radio or video broadcast signals.

3–7–4 Probe Leakage Current Test (Continued)
Meter Procedure Using Probe Adapter
The Dale 600/600E provides a method for testing probes independently from the system. The meter utilizes a probe
adapter to apply a test potential commonly to all connector pins.
The probe’s imaging area is immersed in a saline solution along with a grounding probe from the meter to complete the
current path. Saline solution is a mixture of water and salt. The salt adds a free ion to the water, making it conductive.
Normal saline solution is 0.9% salt or 1/2 gram salt per 1 liter of water. If saline is not available, a mixture of 1 quart wat er
with one or more grams of table salt, mixed thoroughly, will substitute.
CAUTION
T o avoid probe damage and possible electric shock, do not immerse probes into any liquid
beyond the level indicated in the probe users manual. Do not touch the probe, conductive liquid or any part of the unit under test while the ISO TEST switch is depressed.
Follow these steps to test each transducer for leakage current.
1.Turn the RTfino/RT3200 Advantege-II/RT-x200 unit OFF.
2.Plug the unit into the test meter, and the meter into the tested AC wall outlet.
3.Connect the probe for test with the meter’s appropriate adapter (Refer to ILLUSTRATION 3–7).
4.Plug the saline probe into the meter’s ”CHASSIS” connector (Refer to ILLUSTRATION 3–7).

Chassis Fails
Check the ground on the power cord and plug for continuity . Ensure the ground is not broken, frayed, or intermittent.
Replace any defective part.
Tighten all grounds. Ensure star washers are under all ground studs.
Inspect wiring for bad crimps, poor connections, or damage.
T est the wall outlet; verify it is grounded. Notify the user or owner to correct any deviations. As a work around, check the
other outlets to see if they could be used instead.
Note
No outlet tester can detect the condition where the white neutral wire and the green grounding wire
are reversed. If later tests indicate high leakage currents, this should be suspected as a possible
cause and the outlet wiring should be visually inspected.
P9030GX
Probe Fails
Test the probe in another transducer interface connector.
If excessive leakage current is slot dependent, inspect the Transducer Interface board for bent pins, poor connections,
and ground continuity.
If the problem still has stayed with the probe, replace the probe.
Peripheral Fails
Tighten all grounds. Ensure star washers are under all ground studs.
Inspect wiring for bad crimps, poor connections, or damage.
Still Fails
If all else fails, begin isolation by removing the probes, external peripherals, then the on board ones, one at a time while
monitoring the leakage current measurement.
New Unit
If the leakage current measurement tests fail on a new unit and if situation can not be corrected, submit a Safety Failure
Report to document the system problem. Remove unit from operation.

5–1 INTRODUCTION
RTfino/RT3200 Advantage–II/RT–x200 is a compact ultrasound scanner. It meets the routine needs of both Obstetrics and Gynecology investigations. Support of wide range of probes, gives the system added benefits to meet the
diverse applications.
5–2 PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND IMAGING
Ultrasound is produced by applying a short duration, high voltage pulse to the piezoelectric elements in a transducer.
This causes these elements to vibrate at their resonant frequency . (This is determined by the element’s thickness and
tuning.) If the element is making good mechanical contact with the skin, ultrasound waves will be transmitted into the
tissue. (Ultrasound gel applied to the skin prior to ultrasound scanning maximizes transmission).
5–2–1Ultrasound Emission
Ultrasound imaging is based on the sonar principle. A short pulse of sound is transmitted from the transducer’s
piezoelectric crystal element into a medium of known density and propagation velocity, in this case soft tissue.
5–2–2 Reflection
1.The product of density and velocity is called acoustic impedance. If any change in acoustic impedance is encountered by the sound pulse, some of the sound will be reflected back to the piezoelectric element in the transducer.
The remaining pulse will continue to greater body depths. The greater the change in acoustic impedance, the
more sound will be reflected.
2.As the sound travels out and back, an electronic device is used to measure the travel time. Knowing the travel
time (go–return time) and the velocity of the ultrasound wave, the distance traveled can be calculated. Thus,
diagnostic ultrasound images consist of plots of distances between changes in acoustic impedances.
3.The propagation velocity of an ultrasound wave traveling through different types of body tissues is relatively consistent. An average of 1540 meters per second is used as the standard for normal diagnostic ultrasound applications. Actually, the percentage of ultrasound wave reflected by soft tissue averages less than 1%. However,
signal reflection increases to 41 to 48 percent when soft tissue–bone interfaces are encountered. T able 5–1 provides reflection percentages for various types of materials.
