Scan Engine Docking
Introduction to the ZONARE z.one
Scan Engine is docked, the user can acquire images and carry out
retrospective processing (gain adjustment, sweep speed, etc.) using the fullfeatured control panel. Patient images can be archived (saved) to the internal
flash memory; and if ethernet connectivity is enabled, images can be saved to
the network (DICOM) archive device. Images archived to internal flash
memory can later be recalled for post-study analysis. The user can annotate
images and perform basic measurements.
The Scan Engine pocket, in the SuperCart, is the docking station for the Scan
Engine. It houses the electronic connections between the two z.one
components. When the Scan Engine is docked and the SuperCart main circuit
breaker is powered on, the Scan Engine’s battery is being recharged.
The Scan Engine is the main processing component of the z.one. The push
button power-on/off switch, on the Scan Engine (when the Scan Engine is
docked in the pocket of the SuperCart), serves as the normal power on/off
user control for the z.one. The circuit breaker, located at the rear of the
SuperCart, is normally left in the “On” (up) position at all times (unless the
SuperCart is being prepared for transport or service).

To prevent potential damage to the miniCart’s LCD display monitor and
mounting hardware, from shock and vibration that may occur during mobile
transport (while loaded in a vehicle), a foam support pad should be placed
between the bottom surface of the LCD display and the lily pad docking
surface of the miniCart
The combined height of the foam support should be tall enough to hold the
LCD at a horizontal fold-down position (as shown below).

Scan Engine LCD Display
Figure 1-13. Scan Engine LCD Display Layout
The Scan Engine LCD Display is divided into the Image area in the center , the
Control area on the left, and the Info area on the right. The Image area
displays the sonogram, plus patient and image information in designated
areas of the screen. Refer to Figure 1-13. The active on-screen menu displays
in the Control area.
A touchscreen keyboard, called the V irtua l Keyboard (VKB), can be displayed
on the LCD Display of the Scan Engine. The VKB enables the user to make
standard alpha-numeric data entries when the Scan Engine is being operated
in an undocked condition from the SuperCart (or miniCart).
The VKB is used for all functions requiring user data entry. Free-text
annotations and other text/data entry operations (e.g., patient data entry and
system configuration data entry) are inserted by touching virtual
alphanumeric keys on the touchscreen, with the stylus.
The bezel surrounding the display includes additional touchscreen
functionality. These functions include adjustments for brightness and contrast
of the Scan Engine’s LCD Display, and local speaker audio volume.

Transducers
There are two USB Memory Sticks that supplied at the time of system
installation, which should be maintained at each system site. It is
recommended that each USB Memory Stick ONLY be used for its own
dedicated purpose (i.e. not storing patient images on the system/preset
backup USB Memory Stick). The dedicated USB Memory Sticks that should
be maintained at each z.one customer site are:
■ 1) Software Installer & User Presets/System Backup
■ 2) Patient Image Archive
WARNING: The USB Mem ory Sticks suppli ed by ZONARE are the r ecommen ded bran d,
type and sizes for use in the z.one. These USB Memory Sticks have been tested and
verified for optimum reliability and performance. If the User outsources their own
brand and size of USB Memory Stick, ZONARE is not responsible for any errors
associated with file corruption, or file transfer time increases.
