1.6 About the System Software

The ultrasound system contains software that controls its operation. A software upgrade may be required. SonoSite will provide you with a CompactFlash card containing the software. Typically new software provides new capabilities. A single CompactFlash card can be used to update one or more systems. Software upgrades use the back CompactFlash slot on the right hand side of the system. CompactFlash cards installed in the front CompactFlash slot do not upgrade the system.

1.7 Software Licensing

Use of the software that you receive from SonoSite is controlled by a license key. A license key is a number sequence containing exactly 12 decimal digits.
License keys are obtained from SonoSite or from its authorized representatives. You must obtain one key for each system that will use the new software. See “Obtaining a License Key” on page 32 for information on obtaining a license key.
Software that you receive from SonoSite may be installed and will operate for a short period of time without requiring a valid license key. We refer to this period of time as the “grace period.” The grace period is variable.
When you first install your software, your SonoSite system prompts you for a license key. If you have not yet obtained a valid license key, you can elect to use the software as long as the grace period time has not been fully consumed.
When a system is running in the grace period, all system functions are available. As you use the system, the grace period is slowly consumed. When the grace period has expired, the system will not be usable until a valid license key has been entered. Grace period time is not consumed while the system is powered off or when it is in “sleep” mode. Whenever a system is running in the grace period, the grace period time remaining is available on the license update screen.
Caution: When the grace period expires, all system functions except for licensing are
unavailable until a valid license key is entered into the system.

Chapter 2: Safety
Read this information before using the ultrasound system. The information in this manual applies to the ultrasound system, transducer, accessories, and peripherals. This chapter contains safety information.
A Warning describes precautions necessary to prevent injury or loss of life.
A Caution describes precautions necessary to protect the products.

2.1 Electrical Safety

This system meets EN60601-1, Class I/internally-powered equipment requirements and Type BF isolated patient-applied parts safety requirements.
This system complies with the applicable medical equipment requirements published in the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), European Norm Harmonized Standards, and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety standards.
For maximum safety observe the following warnings and cautions:
Warning: To avoid the risk of electrical shock or injury, do not open the system enclosures. All
internal adjustments and replacements, except battery replacement, must be made by a qualified technician.
To avoid the risk of injury, do not operate the system in the presence of flammable gasses or anesthetics. Explosion can result.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only properly grounded equipment. Shock hazards exist if the power supply is not properly grounded. Grounding reliability can only be achieved when equipment is connected to a receptacle marked “Hospital Only” or “Hospital Grade” or the equivalent. The grounding wire must not be removed or defeated.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, before using the transducer, inspect the transducer face, housing, and cable. Do not use the transducer if the transducer or cable is damaged.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the power supply from the system before cleaning the system.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not use any transducer that has been immersed beyond the specified cleaning or disinfection level. See Chapter 5, “Cleaning and
Disinfecting.”
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and fire hazard, inspect the power supply, AC power cord and plug on a regular basis. Ensure they are not damaged.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only accessories and peripherals recommended by SonoSite, including the power supply. Connection of accessories and peripherals not recommended by SonoSite could result in electrical shock. Contact SonoSite or your local representative for a list of accessories and peripherals available from or recommended by SonoSite.
Chapter 2: Safety 5
Page 14
Warning: To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use commercial grade peripherals recommended
by SonoSite on battery power only. Do not connect these products to AC mains power when using the system to scan or diagnose a patient/subject. Contact SonoSite or your local representative for a list of the commercial grade peripherals available from or recommended by SonoSite.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, inspect the interconnect cables on a regular basis for damage.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock to the patient/subject, do not touch the system battery contacts while simultaneously touching a patient/subject.
To prevent injury to the operator/bystander, the transducer must be removed from patient contact before the application of a high-voltage defibrillation pulse.
Caution: Although your system has been manufactured in compliance with existing EMC/EMI
requirements (EN60601-1-2), use of the system in the presence of an electromagnetic field can cause degradation of the ultrasound image. If this occurs often, SonoSite suggests a review of the system environment. Identify and remove the possible sources of the emissions or move your system.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), or static shock, is a naturally occurring phenomenon. ESD is common in conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by heating or air conditioning. Static shock is a discharge of the electrical energy from a charged body to a lesser or non-charged body. The degree of discharge can be significant enough to cause damage to a transducer or an ultrasound system. The following precautions can help reduce ESD: anti-static spray on carpets, anti-static spray on linoleum, and anti-static mats.
Do not use the system if an error message appears on the display: note the error code; call SonoSite or your local representative; turn off the system by pressing and holding the power key until the system powers down.
To avoid increasing the system and transducer connector temperature, do not block the airflow to the ventilation holes on the side of the system.

2.2 Equipment Safety

To protect your ultrasound system, transducer, and accessories, follow these precautions.
Caution: Excessive bending or twisting of cables can cause a failure or intermittent operation.
To avoid damaging the power supply, verify the power supply input is within the correct voltage range. See “Electrical” on page 18 in Chapter 3.
Improper cleaning or disinfecting of any part of the system can cause permanent damage. For cleaning and disinfecting instructions, see Chapter 5, “Cleaning and
Disinfecting.”
Do not use solvents such as thinner or benzene, or abrasive cleaners on any part of the system.
Remove the battery from the system if the system is not likely to be used for some time.
Do not spill liquid on the system.

Chapter 3: System Overview

3.1 System Overview

The system houses the system electronics, display, control panel, and the system batteries. It provides basic connections for external power, and the transducer connector and a general purpose docking connector for all other interfaces. The system operates with external transducers and optional peripheral equipment. The types of external devices that may be used are:
Transducer(s)
AC Power Supply/Charger
Mobile Docking System/Mini-dock
External Peripherals
The transducer connects to the main unit through the scanhead connector. The transducer contains data, which the system uses to drive the transducer in the scanhead, process the data received back and format and display the data for the user. The interface is backward compatible to previous systems and scanheads.
The AC power supply not only provides power from the AC mains for operating the system, it also contains the charger for charging the internal system battery. This may be used if a mobile docking system or mini-dock is not desired or available.
The mobile docking system provides power to run the system, contains the charger to charge the internal system battery and provides fixed external power, video, RS-232, and USB connections. The docking system may also provide additional control surfaces and monitors. The unit interfaces to the docking system through connections on the back of the unit. It provides a convenient place for the unit to be operated and stored under certain usage scenarios.
The mini-dock provides the breakout for all the connectors from the docking connector for remote use where a docking system may not be available and the external connections are desired. The use of a mini-dock allows the main unit to be more portable when the connections are not required.
External OEM peripherals are items such as monitor, printers, and VCRs. These can be connected to the mobile system or directly to the system with the use of the mini-dock using the video and/or printer control input/outputs.

3.2 Theory of Operation

The system has six major functional groups: the transducer, the frontend subsystem, the digital signal processing subsystem, the backend subsystem, the control subsystem, and the power supply and control subsystem. Figure 3.1 shows how these functions interact.
Chapter 3: System Overview 9
Page 18
Figure 3.1 TITAN Block Diagram

3.2.1 Transducer

The transducer elements convert the pulser voltage to acoustic energy during the “transmit” portion of the ultrasound acquisition cycle. Also, the transducer elements convert the acoustic echo to voltage in the “receive” portion of the acquisition cycle. The system transducers have 64 to 128 elements. The front end subsystem senses the voltage developed on the transducer elements.

3.2.2 Front End Subsystem

The Front End is designed to support various imaging modalities such as 2D, spectral Doppler and color Doppler. From the Front End's perspective all modes can be grouped into a few basic types: single mode, simultaneous modes and triggered modes. All these modes are built from similar, basic transmit and receive sequences controlled within the Front End. A generic top level block diagram of a typical Front End is in the following figure.
10 Chapter 3: System Overview
Page 19
Figure 3.2 Front End Subsystem
The transmit section consists of a waveform generator, delay block, and high power high voltage driver to excite the transducer element. Multiple elements are driven with delays determined by the time of flight in the medium from the elements to the point in space where the beam is to be focused. The longer the time of flight is to the focal point the smaller the delay is for a given transmit element to allow all to arrive at the focal point at the same time. The number of elements driven is determined by element sensitivity off axis and depth of field considerations. The waveform is selected to drive the transducer at a certain center frequency, bandwidth, and power and is optimized for the given mode.
The receive section consists of a transmit/receive switch to protect the receiver from the transmit voltage, a variable gain receiver to amplify and condition the return echoes, an A/D to digitize the data, a delay block to focus the return signals and a weight block to scale the return echoes for each channel. All the signals are then summed together to generate the beamformed receive data. The analog gain varies with depth to compensate for signal attenuation through the medium. The delays and weights are independent for each channel. The delay and weight for the receive channel can typically be changed dynamically to keep the receive beam in continuous focus. The delay is simply set by the time of flight in the medium from the point of interest to the element, which starts at skinline and proceeds to the deepest depth of interest.
The control section drives the data to the various data path elements on a line by line basis, controls the timing for the transmit and receive sections, and controls the tagged information and timing of the data to the rest of the system.
Unique transmit and receive sequences, lines or PRIs, are arranged into repeated groups or frames. The simplest frame is for a single mode where the line does not change, for example M Mode or PW Doppler. Here the same line characteristics; aperture size, delay, weights, and waveform information, are continually repeated. A scanned single mode, such as 2D, keeps the same transmit aperture size but the delays and receive weights change due to the aperture translation or steering changes with each line acquired. Simultaneous modes may also change the transmit waveform and aperture size
Chapter 3: System Overview 11

and the delays and receive weights. Downstream processing also changes, due to the unique processing requirements for the different types of data. Triggered modes are the same as the previous modes except that the frames are started and stopped on user or external inputs.

3.2.3 Digital Signal Processing Subsystem

The DSP subsystem receives data from the front end chip sets, performs processing to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of signal features of interest, and prepares data for raster scan conversion and display.
Figure 3.3 Digital Signal Processing Subsystem

3.2.4 Backend Subsystem

The Backend subsystem is responsible for the conversion of raw acquisition data into a raster image ready for display. This includes the acquisition data path with flash suppression and temporal filtering, and the display data path with scan conversion into raster space. The Backend subsystem also contains the video data path that supports generation of video comprising of the ultrasound image as well as graphics annotation. Video generation of both standard composite interlaced video and progressive scan video is supported. Most functionality is within the ASIC. However, the memory resources for acquisition memory, and display memory are found in external memory components. The conversion from PC type video to TV type video is also performed externally.
Control is received initially from the CPU to setup each functional block and afterward the hardware is completely data driven. This control takes the form of programming setup registers inside the blocks and setting up scan conversion tables. Each block provides temporary storage as required to buffer data and keep their respective processing pipeline full and operating. Also note that the block diagrams show only the data path, but each block is responsible for generating any necessary memory addresses for their respective input data stream.
12 Chapter 3: System Overview
Page 21
The BackEnd subsystem is shown in the figure below.
Figure 3.4 BackEnd Subsystem Block Diagram
The backend subsystem performs processing encompassing three main data domains, acquisition data, raster data, and video data.
Support for acquisition data includes the input buffer, flash suppression, frame average, and external ACQ memory. Cine buffer management is performed by the acquisition controller.
Conversion from acquisition data to raster data is performed by the graphics overlay, scan conversion engine, sweeping engine, and 3D engine. Raster data is stored in an external DISPLAY memory. Also supporting raster operations is the graphics support block that provides acceleration hardware for pixel operations from the CPU and graphics overlay engine.
Video data is processed as progressive scan (60 Hz) and supplied externally on a digital bus. In addition, interlaced (30 Hz) video is supplied in both composite and S-video formats. The progressive video path includes buffers, priority logic, and LUTs. External video in signals are input and multiplexed onto the external video out path to allow for external sources to display information on connected displays, VCRs, or printers.
Chapter 3: System Overview 13

3.2.5 Control Subsystem

The control subsystem is shown in the figure below.
Figure 3.5 Control Subsystem
The core control subsystem contains the processor, the system bus, the system memory resources of FLASH and RAM, the interrupt logic, system timers, a DMA engine, and a floating point unit.
Support for the ultrasound subsystem consists of a scanhead interface, scanhead mux control, a portion of the system FLASH for storage of saved images, and a control path to program the ultrasound datapath.
Communication interfaces consist of an Ethernet interface, USB port, two general purpose serial bus interfaces, and the I2C bus.

5.2 Receipt of Suspected Contaminated Materials

SonoSite recommends that personnel who have regular exposure to medical devices returned for service practice “universal precautions.” Universal precautions are an approach to infection control. Those servicing this product should follow the prescribed standards for their area.
If visual inspection suggests possible contamination when opening a product returned for service, take proper steps to contain the contamination. Wear necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (gloves, masks, and gowns) when opening or examining a suspect package.
Before transfer to a service area, label the suspect package “contaminated” and seal it to prevent exposure.
Discard any packing materials removed from a package suspected of contamination in a biohazard container.
Discard any contaminated materials received with the product in an appropriate biohazard container. Contaminated materials may include biohazardous waste and sharps.
Maintain a disinfecting agent in case any work surface is contaminated. The recommended agent is
0.5% sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solution. To prepare the agent, mix one part household bleach
(5.25% - 6% sodium hypochlorite) to nine parts water. Spray or wipe the solution onto the work surface and allow to air dry.
Please use these recommendations when cleaning or disinfecting your ultrasound system, transducers, and accessories. This chapter assists in effective cleaning and disinfection, but it is also intended to protect the system and transducers against damage during cleaning or disinfection.

9.5 Theory of Operation

9.5.1 Video

The video data originates on the main PCBA in 640 × 480, RGB-888 square pixel format at 60Hz refresh rate NTSC and 50Hz for PAL video.
9.5.1.1 VGA Video Output
The digital RGB data is converted to progressive scan analog RGB on the dock PCB. The analog RGB drives a VGA style connector and is also the input for the video encoder.
9.5.1.2 Analog Interlaced Video Outputs
The digital RGB data is converted to analog interlaced composite and S-Video outputs on the dock PCB. A video processor converts RGB and output in the selected video format.
For NTSC video mode, the processor is converting from progressive scan to interlaced and is responsible for the color space conversion converting from RGB to composite and S-Video.
For PAL video mode, the processor is doing the interlacing and color space conversion and outputs 768 × 576 lines at 50Hz.
9.5.1.3 Video Decoders
A video decoder digitizes the input S-Video data. A separate component performs the de-interlace and converts to digital RGB data.

9.5.2 Power Distribution

The battery charger and VPWR signals provided by the AC power supply are intended to be passed through the dock so that the system behaves the same whether the AC power supply is plugged into the dock or directly to the system (with no dock).
The dock uses the 3.3V and 5V power supplies available on the Main PCB. When the dock is connected, the dock provides necessary surge limiting and reset circuitry necessary to ensure proper operation of all components.
The dock provides the capability to turn OFF 3.3V and 5V power supplies to as much of the dock as possible to allow for a minimum power state.

9.6 Replacement Procedures

Replacement procedures for all replaceable parts are not discussed in this manual. Replacement of many mechanical parts is intuitive to properly trained service personnel and due to the simple nature of these kinds of repairs procedures are determined to be not necessary.

9.6.1 Required Tools

#1 Phillips screwdriver
1/8 inch, 5/32 inch, and 1/4 inch hex wrench, ball type
3/8 inch and 1/2 inch wrench or socket
13/16 inch and 3/4 inch open end wrench

9.6.2 Cup Surround

1 Remove the six (6) screws attaching the cup surround to the top of the docking system.
3/8" Hex nuts (2)
1/8" Allen screws (3)
Figure 9.12 Cup Surround Screws
2 Lift the cup surround from the docking system.

9.6.3 Casters

1 Tilt the docking system in any direction and lay it on its side. 2 Remove the caster by turning the 13/16 inch nut on the caster shaft counter-clockwise until the
caster is removed from the docking system base.
3 Install the new caster in the same manner.

tie. Remove the cable tie and the tape from around the cables.
11 Separate the cables and pull the cable from the power supply down to the bottom of the docking
system support leg.
12 Tilt the docking system back to the upright position and pull the power supply from the rear of
the docking system, pulling the cable up from the support leg.
13 Install the new power supply into the rear of the docking system and thread the cable down the
support leg.
14 Lay the docking system back down, pull the excess cable free then thread the cable up the support
leg to the top of the docking system.
15 Attach the power supply connector to the mini-dock and replace the cable tie. 16 Retape the wires and reattach the wires to the support leg with a new cable tie. 17 Install the power supply power cord.
