About This Manual
The Instructions for Use consists of two volumes:
[1] Instructions for Use
The [1] Instructions for Use includes both a general overview and a
technical description of the ultrasound imaging system. This manual
contains detailed information on the safety and care of the ultrasound
system and its transducers. A chapter is dedicated to the description of
all system controls. The [1] Instructions for Use also includes the
procedures for system setup and beginning an exam.
[2] Instructions for Use
The [2] Instructions for Use includes procedures for acquiring and
optimizing images. This manual provides procedures for general and
exam-specific measurements and calculations.
The System Reference provides reference information for the ultrasound
imaging system.
The Electromagnetic Emissions and Immunity: Guidance and Manufacturer's Declaration publication provides information regarding the electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) testing of this system.

Conventions
Conventions used throughout this manual are listed below. Take a moment
to familiarize yourself with these conventions.
Cross-References
This manual provides you information by topic. When additional information
exists within this or other manuals, a reference graphic and the name of the
book is provided in the right column. If the information exists within the
chapter, a cross-reference to the page number is listed. Otherwise,
information is referenced by chapter number.
System Presets
You can use the options and settings available in the system presets menu
to set up the ultrasound system with your preferences. Presets define the
configuration of the system software whenever you power on the system.
A complete listing of system presets is located in the System Reference.
Whenever a system preset is discussed in other chapters or in the User and
Reference Manuals, a graphic is provided in the right column.
The graphic identifies a preset option or setting in the system presets menu
that is available for you to customize your ultrasound system. The name of
the category on the menu containing the system preset is listed for
your convenience.

Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
WARNING: Warnings are intended to alert you to the importance of following
the correct operating procedures where risk of injury to the patient or system
user exists.
Caution: Cautions are intended to alert you to the importance of following
correct operating procedures to prevent the risk of damage to the system.
Note: Notes contain information concerning the proper use of the system and/or correct
execution of a procedure.
Control Panel Keys, Controls, and LCD Selections
Keys and controls located on the control panel are identified by uppercase,
boldface type.
Example: Rotate the ZOOM control.
Function keys located on the keyboard are identified by the number of the
function key.
Example: Press the F4 key.
LCD keys are indicated by a (|) symbol with the name of the selection in
boldface type.
Example: Press |Next to access the second page of LCD selections.

Selection of On-Screen Objects
The SET key on the control panel functions as a point-and-select device
(similar to a computer mouse) when used with the trackball. To select an
on-screen object such as a button or a T symbol, roll the trackball to
position the pointer (cursor) on the object and then press the SET key on
the control panel.
In this manual, the term "select" or "click" describe the trackball and SET key
action required to select an on-screen object. In the example below, phrases
A, B, C, and D are equivalent actions.
A. Roll the trackball to the Search button and then press the SET key.
B. Select the Search button.
C. Click the Search button.
D. Click Search.
Special Terms and Menu Options
Special terms are indicated in boldface italics and are accompanied by a brief
description on their first use in the manual.

Transducer Technical Data and Acoustic Output............................................ 3
Display Resolution and Measurement Accuracy ........................................... 3
Default Displayed MI and TI Values by Transducer .......................................4
Transducers and Intended Applications......................................................... 5
For any transducer capable of exceeding a mechanical or thermal index
value of 1.0, the ultrasound imaging system displays indices starting from
0.4. The resolution of the display is 0.1 for all displayed values of MI. For all
TI values, the resolution of the display is 0.2.
It is important to note that displayed indices are obtained through
measurement, and are subject to measurement errors. Specific
measurement uncertainties for acoustic power, pressure, and center
frequency are 5.4%, 8.5%, and 2.1% respectively. Measurement precision
for ultrasonic power, peak rarefactional pressure, and center frequency from
a standard test transducer/driver combination is 8.2%, 4.6%, and 1.1%
respectively. The reported values assume 90% population (P ) at 90%
confidence level (
1998 AIUM/NEMA document entitled Standard for Real-Time Display of
Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound
Equipment – Revision 1 (also known as the Output Display Standard).
).Definitions for these parameters can be found in the

Note: For SONOVISTA systems only:
The 3.5C55S transducer is the equivalent of the C6-2 transducer.
The 3D-ABD transducer is the equivalent of the C6F3 transducer.
The 6.5EV13 transducer is the equivalent of the EV9-4 transducer.
Only the following transducers from Siemens are compatible with the G60 S ultrasound
imaging system:
Note: For SONOVISTA systems only:
The 3.5C55S transducer is the equivalent of the C6-2 transducer.
The 3D-ABD transducer is the equivalent of the C6F3 transducer.
The 6.5EV13 transducer is the equivalent of the EV9-4 transducer.
Note: Certain transducers may require features not available on your system. Refer to the
Accessories and Options chapter of the System Reference for a list of system-specific
features and options, including transducers.
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. Refer to the Electromagnetic Emissions and Immunity Guidence and Manufacturer's Declaration.

Acoustic Output Reporting
Data presented in Track 3 format represents the average MI/TI values for
five transducers measured under worst-case acoustic output conditions. The
on-screen MI/TI values are based on measurements on one transducer
under worst case acoutstic output conditions - rounded up to the nearest
display increment. It is possible that the values displayed on screen may
exceed the MI/TI values presented in the Track 3 format.
Summary Table for Acoustic Output
An "X" indicates that either the MI index or TI indices is greater than 1.0 for
each transducer/mode. A Track 3 format acoustic output table is supplied for
each transducer/mode combination marked with an "X".

B-mode (2D) No other mode active.
Only MI (when larger than 1.0) is reported for this mode.
M-mode Includes simultaneous B-mode.
PW-Doppler In duplex modes, the largest displayed TIS (scanned or non-scanned)
is reported if it is larger than 1.0.
Color Flow
or Power
Other The output is reported as a separate mode if the largest formulation
Includes simultaneous color flow M-mode, B-mode, and Doppler.
In combined modes, the largest displayed TIS (scanned or
non-scanned) is reported if it is larger than 1.0.
of TIS, TIB, or TIC (if an intended use) is greater than the
corresponding value reported for all constituent mode.
TIC is reported if the transducer is intended for transcranial or
neonatal cephalic use.
