Intended Use

WARNING: The analysis of results from an ultrasound examination requires that you are trained

in the interpretation of diagnostic ultrasound studies and are qualified to make clinical diagnoses.

Caution: In the United States of America, federal law restricts this device to sale or use by, or

on the order of, a physician.

Caution: Ultrasound is used as an imaging aid, but may have further restrictions specific to

in-vitro fertilization (IVF), chorionic villus sampling (CVS), and percutaneous umbilical cord blood sampling (PUBS) procedures. Observe local laws and regulations.

Transducers and Intended Applications

Refer to the table below for transducers compatible with these ultrasound systems:

 ACUSON S1000 ultrasound system  ACUSON S2000 ultrasound system  ACUSON S3000 ultrasound system

Only the following transducers from Siemens are compatible with your ultrasound system.

EMC Note: Operating the transducer in close proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic fields, such as radio transmitter stations or similar installations, may lead to temporary degradation or interference visible on the monitor screen. A lightening of image background may be noticed while visualizing hypoechoic structures, or color spectral interference, or jitter, or horizontal lines in the image screen may occur. The transducer and the system have been designed and tested to withstand such interference and will not be permanently damaged.

1 Introduction

Image Screen Layout

The monitor on the ultrasound system displays clinical images together with important operating parameters and patient data.

You can hide the thumbnail panel to increase the space available on the screen for the image.

For systems without a touch screen, you can also hide the soft key selections and menu located on the left side of the screen.

Use the system configuration menu to customize the location of information within the patient banner.

System Config > Patient Banner

Use the system configuration menu to configure the parameter settings in the imaging parameters section of the screen.

System Config > Image Text Editor

Screen Saver

The screen saver feature automatically freezes the system and replaces the active display with a screen-saver display after the system has been inactive for a specified number of minutes. Exit the active screen saver display by pressing any key, adjusting any control, or rolling the trackball. When the security package is activated on the ultrasound system, a user name and password are required to exit the active screen-saver display and access the system.

Use the system configuration menu to select the duration of operational inactivity needed to activate the screen saver.

System Config > Basic System

Note: The screen saver feature is not available when the system is in external video playback or

during the Biopsy function.
