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).

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".

When the ultrasound system is installed at your site, all system settings are
factory-defined. You can use the options and settings available in the
system presets
to set up the ultrasound system with your preferences for
imaging. System presets define the configuration of the system software
whenever you power on the system.
Using the System Presets
You can use the system presets at any time to change the factory (default)
settings or modify your own presets and QuickSets. When you exit the
menu by pressing the |Save LCD selection or by selecting the Save button
on the menu, the system retains your selections and definitions.
Note: After powering on the system, you must wait until the system completes the
series of self-diagnostic and calibration tests before making any changes to the system
presets. These tests last a few minutes, after which the system presets are ready
for use.
It is advisable to back up your system presets and QuickSets to prevent
accidental loss of your information. Presets saved on a disk also expedite
the installation of a new system software release.
To access the system presets:
Press the F4 key on the keyboard.
The system displays the Preset Main Menu screen with the most
recently activated menu item selected. If no menu item has been
activated since the system powered on, the system automatically
selects (highlights) the General menu item on the left of the screen and
displays its selections and options on the right of the screen.

To use the Preset Main Menu:
1. After accessing the menu, roll the trackball up and down the left side of
the screen to highlight a menu item.
2. Activate a highlighted menu item by pressing the SET key.
The system displays either a new set of selections and options on the
right of the Preset Main Menu screen or a full new screen.
3. Roll the trackball to an option or selection and then press the SET key.
To exit the Preset Main Menu:
Save your changes by selecting the Save button on the screen or by
pressing the |Save LCD selection.
The system saves any new options and selections and returns to
imaging.
Discard your changes by selecting the Cancel button on the screen or by
pressing the |Cancel LCD selection or the ESC or F4 key on the
keyboard.
The system displays a dialog box if changes were made.
– To discard your changes and redisplay the image screen, select the
OK button.
– To retain your changes and stay in the currentscreen, select the
Cancel button.
