Although your system has been manufactured in compliance with existing

EMI/EMC requirements, use of this system in the presence of an
electromagnetic field can cause momentary degradation of the ultrasound
image. If this occurs often, MEDISON suggests a review of the environment
in which the system is being used, to identify possible sources of radiated
emissions. These emissions could be from other electrical devices used
within the same room or an adjacent room. Communication devices such as
cellular phones and pagers can cause these emissions. The existence of
radio, TV, or microwave transmission equipment located nearby can cause
emissions. In cases where EMI is causing disturbances, it may be necessary
to relocate your system.
E lectrostatic discharge (ESD), commonly referred to as a static shock, is
a naturally occurring phenomenon. ESD is most prevalent during conditions
of low humidity, which can be caused by heating or air conditioning. During
low humidity conditions, electrical charges naturally build up on individuals
and can create static shocks. An ESD condition occurs when an individual
with an electrical energy build-up comes in contact with objects such as
metal doorknobs, file cabinets, computer equipment, and even other
individuals. The static shock or ESD is a discharge of the electrical energy
build-up from a charged individual to a lesser or non-charged individual or
object. The level of electrical energy discharged from a system user or
patient to the ultrasound system can be significant enough to cause damage
to the system or probes. The following precautions can help to reduce ESD:
anti-static spray on carpets; anti-static spray on linoleum; anti-static mats; or
a ground wire connection between the system and the patient table or bed.

Sheaths are recommended for clinical application of an invasive nature,

including intraoperative, transrectal, transvaginal, and biopsy procedures.
MEDISON does not supply sheaths so that you should purchase
appropriate ones on your own.
Some sheaths contain natural rubber latex and talc, which can cause
allergic reactions in some individuals, Refer to the FDA Medical Alert,

Warning
In neurosurgical applications, sterilized probes should be used with

sterile gel and a sterile pyrogen-free sheath.
If the sterile sheath becomes compromised during neurosurgical
applications involving a patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the probe
cannot be sterilized with any sterilization method.
Sheaths are disposable and must not be reused.
If an installed sheath is cut or contaminated prior to use, the probe
should be cleaned and disinfected, and a new sterile sheath installed.
ALARA Education Program

The guidance for the use of diagnostic ultrasound is defined by the as low as reasonably
achievable (ALARA) principle. The decision as to what is reasonable has been left to the
judgment and insight of qualified personnel. No set of rules can be formulated that would be
sufficiently complete to dictate the correct response to every circumstances. By keeping
ultrasound exposure as low as possible, while obtaining diagnostic images, users can minimize
ultrasonic bioeffects.
Since the threshold for diagnostic ultrasound bioeffects is undetermined, it is the sonographers
responsibility to control total energy transmitted into the patient. The sonographer must
reconcile exposure time with diagnostic image quality. To ensure diagnostic image quality and
limit exposure time, an ultrasound system provides controls that can be manipulated during the
exam to optimize the results of the exam.
The ability of the user to abide by the ALARA principle is important. Advances in diagnostic
ultrasound not only in the technology but also in the applications of that technology, have
resulted in the need for more and better information to guide the user. The output indices are
designed to provide that important information
There are a number of variables, which affect the way in which the output display indices can be
used to implement the ALARA principle. These variables include values, body size, location of
the bone relative to the focal point, attenuation in the body, and ultrasound exposure time.
Exposure time is an especially useful variable, because the user controls it. The ability to limit
the index values over time supports the ALARA principle.
Service Manual
SONOACE 8000SE
Safety
Chapter 2
2-11
Applying ALARA
The system-imaging mode used depends upon the information needed. B-mode and M-mode
imaging provide anatomical information, while Doppler, Power, and Color imaging provide
information about blood flow. A scanned mode, like B-mode, Power, or Color, disperses or
scatters the ultrasonic energy over an area, while an unscanned mode, like M-mode or
Doppler, concentrates ultrasonic energy. Understanding the nature of the imaging mode being
used allows the sonographer to apply the ALARA principle with informed judgment.
Additionally, the probe frequency, system set-up values, scanning techniques, and operator
experience allow the sonographer to meet the definition of the ALARA principle.
The decision as to the amount of acoustic output is, in the final analysis, up to the system
operator. This decision must be based on the following factors: type of patient, type of exam,
patient history, ease or difficulty of obtaining diagnostically useful information, and the potential
localized heating of the patient due to probe surface temperatures. Prudent use of the system
occurs when patient exposure is limited to the lowest index reading for the shortest amount of
time necessary to achieve acceptable diagnostic results.
Although a high index reading does not mean that a bioeffect is actually occurring, a high index
reading should be taken seriously. Every effort should be made to reduce the possible effects
of a high index reading. Limiting exposure time is an effective way to accomplish this goal.
There are several system controls that the operator can use to adjust the image quality and
limit the acoustic intensity. These controls are related to the techniques that an operator might
use to implement ALARA. These controls can be divided into three categories: direct, indirect,
and receiver control.
Direct Controls
Application selection and the output intensity control directly affect acoustic intensity. There are
different ranges of allowable intensity or output based on your selection. Selecting the correct
range of acoustic intensity for the application is one of the first things that occur in any exam.
For example, peripheral vascular intensity levels are not recommended for fetal exams. Some
systems automatically select the proper range for a particular application, while others require
manual selection. Ultimately, the user has the responsibility for proper clinical use. The
Medison system provides both automatic or default and manual or user-selectable settings.
Output has direct impact on acoustic intensity. Once the application has been established, the
output control can be used to increase or decrease the intensity output. The output control
allows you to select intensity levels less than the established maximum. Prudent use dictates
that you select the lowest output intensity that is consistent with good image quality.
Service Manual
SONOACE 8000SE
Safety
Chapter 2
2-12
Indirect Controls
The indirect controls are those that have an indirect effect on acoustic intensity. These controls
affect imaging mode, pulse repetition frequency, focus depth, pulse length, and probe
selection.
The choice of imaging mode determines the nature of the ultrasound beam. B-mode is a
scanning mode, Doppler is a stationary or unscanned mode. A stationary ultrasound beam
concentrates energy in a single location. A moving or scanned ultrasound beam disperses the
energy over an area and the beam is concentrated on the same area of a fraction of the time
as that of an unscanned mode.
Pulse repetition frequency or rate refers to the number of ultrasound bursts of energy over a
specific period of time. The higher the pulse repetition frequency, the more pulse of energy in a
period of time. Several controls affect pulse repetition frequency: focal depth, display depth,
sample volume depth, color sensitivity, number of focal zones, and sector width controls.
Focus of the ultrasound beam affects the image resolution. To maintain or increase resolution
at a different focus requires a variation in output over the focal zone. This variation of output is
a function of system optimization. Different exams require different focal depths. Setting the
focus at the proper depth improves the resolution of the structure of interest.
Pulse length is the time during which the ultrasonic burst is turned on. The longer the pulse,
the greater the time-average intensity value. The greater the time-average intensity, the
greater the likelihood of temperature increase and cavitations. Pulse length or burst length or
pulse duration is the output pulse duration in pulsed Doppler. Increasing the Doppler sample
volume increases the pulse length.
Probe selection indirectly affects intensity. Tissue attenuation changes with frequency. The
higher the probe operating frequency, the greater the attenuation of the ultrasonic energy. A
higher probe operating frequency requires more output intensity to scan at a deeper depth. To
scan deeper at the same output intensity, a lower probe frequency is required. Using more
gain and output beyond a point, without corresponding increases in image quality, can mean
that a lower frequency probe is needed.
Receiver Controls
Receiver controls are used by the operator to improve image quality. These controls have no
effect on output. Receiver controls only affect how the ultrasound echo is received. These
controls include gain, TGC, dynamic range, and image processing. The important thing to
remember, relative to output, is that receiver controls should be optimized before output is
increased. For example; before increasing output, optimize gain to improve image quality.

Chapter 2
2-13
Additional Considerations
Ensure that scanning time is kept to a minimum, and ensure that only medically required
scanning is performed. Never compromise quality by rushing through an exam. A poor exam
require a follow-up, which ultimately increase time. Diagnostic ultrasound is an important tool in
medicine, and, like any tool, it should be used efficiently and effectively.
Output Display Features

The system output display comprises two basic indices: a mechanical index and a thermal index.
The thermal index further consists of the following indices: soft tissue (TIs) and bone (TIb). One of
these three thermal indices will be displayed at all times. Which one depends upon the system
preset or user choice, depending upon the application at hand.
The mechanical index is continuously displayed over the range of 0.0 to 1.9, in increments of 0.1
The thermal index consists of the three indices, and only one of these is displayed at any one
time.
Each probe application has a default selection that is appropriate for that combination. The TIb or
TIs is continuously displayed over the range of 0.0 to maximum output, based on the probe and
application, in increments of 0.1.
The application-specific nature of the default setting is also an important factor of index behavior.
A default setting is a system control state which is preset by the manufacturer or the operator.
The system has default index settings for the probe application. The default settings are invoked
automatically by the ultrasound system when power is turned on, new patient data is entered into
the system database, or a change in application takes place.
The decision to display one or the other of the three thermal indices should be based on the
following criteria:
Appropriate index for the application: TIs is used for imaging soft tissue; and TIb for a focus at or
near bone.
Mitigating factors that might create artificially high or low thermal index readings: location of fluid
or bone, or blood flow. For example, is there a highly attenuating tissue path so that the actual
potential for local zone heating is less than the thermal index displays.
Probe modes versus unscanned modes of operation affect the thermal index. For scanned
modes, heating tends to be near the surface; for unscanned modes, the potential for heating
tends to be deeper in the focal zone.
Always limit ultrasound exposure time. Do not rush the exam. Ensure that the indices are kept to
a minimum and that exposure time is limited without compromising diagnostic sensitivity.
Mechanical Index (MI) Display

Mechanical bioeffects are threshold phenomena that occur when a certain level of output is
exceeded. The threshold level varies, however, with the type of tissue. The potential for
mechanical bioeffects varies with peak pressure and ultrasound frequency. The MI accounts for
these two factors. The higher the MI value, the greater the likelihood of mechanical bioeffects
occurring. There is no specific MI value that means that a mechanical effect is actually occurring.
The MI should be used as a guide for implementing the ALARA principle.

Control Effrcts
Control affecting the indices
As various system controls are adjusted, the TI and MI values may change. This will be most
apparent as the POWER control is adjusted; however, other system controls will affect the onscreen output values.
POWER
Power controls the system acoustic output. Two real-time output values are on the screen: a TI
and a MI. They change as the system responds to POWER adjustments.
In combined modes, such as simultaneous Color, B-mode and pulsed Doppler, the individual
modes each add to the total TI. One mode will be the dominant contributor to this total. The
displayed MI will be from the mode with the largest peak pressure.
B mode Controls
B-mode size
Narrowing the sector angle may increase frame rate. This action will increase the TI. Pulser
voltage may be automatically adjusted down with software controls to keep the TI below the
system maximums. A decrease in pulser voltage will decrease MI.
ZOOM
Increasing the zoom magnification may increase frame rate. This action will increase the TI.
The number of focal zones may also increase automatically to improve resolution. This action
may change MI since the peak intensity can occur at a different depth.
Persistence
A lower persistence will decrease the TI. Pulser voltage may be automatically increased. An
increase in pulser voltage will increase MI.
Focal no.
More focal zones may change both the TI and MI by changing frame rate or focal depth
automatically. Lower frame rates decrease the TI. MI displayed will correspond to the zone will
the largest peak intensity.
FOCUS
Changing the focal depth will change MI. Generally, higher MI value will occur when the focal
depth is near the natural focus of the transducer.

2-16
Color and Cintrols

Color Sensitivity
Increasing the color sensitivity may increase the TI. More time is spent scanning the color image.
Color pulses are the dominant pulse type in this mode.
Color Sector Width

Narrower color sector width will increase color frame rate and the TI will increase. The system may
automatically decrease pulser voltage to stay below the system maximum. A decrease in pulser
voltage will decrease the MI. If pulsed Doppler is also enabled then pulsed Doppler will remain the
dominant mode and the TI change will be small.
Color Sector Depth

Deeper color sector depth may automatically decrease color frame rate or select a new color focal
zone or color pulse length. The TI will change due to the combination of these effects. Generally, the
TI will decrease with increased color sector depth. MI will correspond to the peak intensity of the
dominant pulse type, which is a color pulse. However, if pulsed Doppler is also enabled then pulsed
Doppler will remain the dominant mode and the TI change will be small.
SCALE
Using the SCALE control to increase the color velocity range may increase the TI. The system may
automatically adjust pulser voltage to stay below the system maximums. A decrease in pulser
voltage will also decrease MI.
SEC WIDTH
A narrower B-mode sector width in Color imaging will increase color frame rate. The TI will increase.
MI will not change. If pulsed Doppler is also enabled, then pulsed Doppler will remain the dominant
mode and the TI change will be small.
M-mode and Doppler Controls

Speed
M-mode and Doppler sweep speed adjustments will not affect the MI. When M-mode sweep speed
changes, TI changes.
Simultaneous and Update Methods

Use of combination modes affects both the TI and MI through the combination of pulse types. During
simultaneous mode, the TI is additive. During auto-update and duplex, the TI will display the
dominant pulse type. The displayed MI will be from the mode with the largest peak pressure.
Sample Volume Depth

When Doppler sample volume depth is increased the Doppler PRF may automatically decrease. A
decrease in PRF will decrease the TI. The system may also automatically decrease the pulser
voltage to remain below the system maximum. A decrease in pulser voltage will decrease MI.

DOPPLER, M-MODE, and COLOR Imaging Controls

When a new imaging mode is selected, both the TI and MI may change to default
settings. Each mode has a corresponding pulse repetition frequency and maximum
intensity point. In combined or simultaneous modes, the TI is the sum of the contribution
from the modes enabled and MI is the MI for the focal zone and mode with the largest
derated intensity. The system will return to the previously selected state if a mode is
turned off and then reselected.
Probe
Each probe model available has unique specifications for contact area, beam shape,
and center frequency. Defaults are initialized when you select a probe. MEDISON factory
defaults vary with probe, application, and selected mode. Defaults have been chosen
below the FDA limits for intended use.
DEPTH
An increase in B-mode depth will automatically decrease the B-mode frame rate. This
would decrease the TI. The system may also automatically choose a deeper B-mode
focal depth. A change of focal depth may change the MI. The MI displayed is that of the
zone with the largest peak intensity.
Application
Acoustic output defaults are set when you select an application. Medison factory
defaults vary with probe, application, and mode. Defaults have been chosen below the
FDA limits for intended use.
Acoustic Output and Measurement

Since the initial use of diagnostic ultrasound, the possible human biological effects (bioeffects)
from ultrasound exposure have been studied by various scientific and medical institutions. In
October 1987, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine(AIUM) ratified a report
prepared by its Bioeffects Committee(Bioeffects Considerations for the Safety of Diagnostic
Ultrasound, J Ultrasound Med., Sept. 1988: Vol.7, No.9 Supplement), sometimes referred to as
the Stowe Report, which reviewed available data on possible effects of ultrasound exposure.
Another report Bioeffects and Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound, dated January 28, 1993
provides more current information.
The acoustic output for this system has been measured and calculated in accordance with the
December 1985 510(K) Guided for Measuring and Reporting Acoustic Output of Diagnostic
Ultrasound Medical Devices, except that the hydrophone meets the requirements of Acoustic

Acoustic Output and Measurement

The terms and symbols used in the acoustic output tables are defined in the following
paragraphs.
ISPTA.3 the derated spatial-peak temporal-averge intensity

(milliwatts per square centimeter).
ISPPA.3 the derated spartial-peak pulse-average intensity

(watts per square centimeter). The value of IPA.3 at the position of global
maximum MI (IPA.3@MI) may be reported instead of ISPPA.3 if the global
maximum MI is reported.
MI
the Mechanical Index. The value of MI at the position of ISPPA.3,
(MI@ISPPA.3) may be reported instead of MI(global maximum value)
if ISPPA.3 is 190W/cm2
Pr.3
the derated peak rarefactional pressure (megapascals) associated with the
transmit pattern giving rise to the value reported under MI.
WO
the ultrasonic power (milliwatts). For the operating condition giving rise to
ISPTA.3, WO is the total time-average power; for the operating condition
subject to reporting under ISPPA.3, WO is the ultrasonic power associated
with the transmit pattern giving rise to the value reported under ISPPA.3
fC
the center frequency (MHz). For MI and ISPPA.3, fC is the center frequency
associated with the transmit pattern giving rise to the global maximum value
of the respective parameter. For ISPTA.3, for combined modes involving
beam types of unequal center frequency, fC is defined as the overall range of
center frequencies of the respective transmit patterns.
ZSP
the axial distance at which the reported parameter is measured
(centimeters).
x-6,y-6 are respectively the in-plane (azimuthal) and out-of-plane (elevational)
-6 dimensions in the x-y plane where Zsp is found (centimeters).
PD
the pulse duration (microseconds) associated with the transmit pattern
giving
rise to the reported value of the respective parameter.
PRF
the pulse repetition frequency (Hz) associated with the transmit pattern
giving
rise to the reported value of the respective parameter.
EBD
the entrance beam dimensions for the azimuthal and elevational planes
(centimeters).

Follow these precautions to protect your system:
Caution
Excessive bending or twisting of cables on patient-applied parts may cause

failure or intermittent operation of the system.
Improper cleaning or sterilization of a patient-applied part may cause
permanent damage.
Do not submerge the cables of patient-applied parts in solution. The cables
are not liquid-tight beyond the applied part/cable or cable/connector interfaces.
Do not use solvents such as thinner or benzene, or abrasive cleaners on the
system, probes or peripheral devices.
The system has been designed for 100-120Vac and 200-240Vac; you
should select the input voltage of monitor, printer and VCR. Prior to
connecting an OEM power cord, verify that the voltage indicated on the power
cord matches the voltage rating of the OEM device.
An isolation transformer protects the system from power surges. The isolation
transformer continues to operate when the system is in standby.
In general, only the area of the probe acoustic window is watertight (IPX7).
Except where specified in specific cleaning instructions, do not immerse the
remainder of a probe in any liquid.
For optimal performance, your MEDISON ultrasound system should be
connected to a circuit dedicated solely for the ultrasound system.
Use only the foot switch, which Medison supplies, and check the Medison logo
symbol on it.

Probe Management
Warning
probes and biopsy guide adapters.
Probes must be cleaned after each use. Cleaning the probe is an

essential step prior to effective disinfection or sterilization. Be sure to
follow the manufacturers instructions when using disinfectants.
Caution
Do not allow sharp objects, such as scalpels or cauterizing knives, to

touch probes or cables.
When handling a probe, do not bump the probe on hard surfaces.
Probe is the most important factor in image quality. Optimal imaging cannot be attained without the
correct probe. The system is optimized for use based on your probe selection.
Caution
Do not use a surgeons brush when cleaning probes. The use of even soft
brushes can damage the probe.
During cleaning, disinfection, and strilization, orient the parts of the probe that
must remain dry higher than the wetted parts until all parts are dry. This will
help keep liquid from entering non-liquid-tight areas of the probe.
Disconnect the probe from the system.

Remove any sheaths, biopsy guide adapters, or biopsy needle guides(biopsy guide adapters are reusable portion of the biopsy guide and can be sterilized.)
Discard sheaths(sheaths are single-use item)
Use a soft cloth lightly dampened in a mild soap or compatible cleaning solution to remove any
particulate matter or body fluids that remain on the probe or cable.
To remove remaining particulates, rinse with water up to the immersion point.
Wipe with a dry cloth; or wipe with a water-dampened cloth to remove soap residue, and then wipe
with a dry cloth.

Warnings
Never open the safety cover of this equipment. Internal parts of the equipment are supplied
with high voltage electricity. All internal repairs and part replacements must be carried out only
by the Medison Customer Service Department.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), generally known to be caused by shocks of static charges, can
occur in natural conditions. ESD occurs most commonly in dry conditions, such as during
operation of heaters or air conditioners. ESD also occurs when contacting metal door handles,
file cabinets, computer parts or even another person. Static charges and ESD are produced
when electrically charged materials release electricity to charge less charged materials. It is
possible that the static charges released by the system user or the patient may damage the
ultrasonographic system or the probe.
Always observe the following guidelines to prevent damages by ESD:
1. Spray anti-static charge spray over the carpet or the linoleum.
2. Use anti-static charge mats.
3. Ground the system and the patients table or bed.

Beamformer
Figure 6-7 is a functional block diagram of the Beamformer PCB.
The Beamformer consists of 1 PCB. It generates transmission pulses in order to operate the
probe elements. The received echo signals are sent through the filter for eliminating noise.
Then the signals are amplified to specific levels by the PREAMP and are converted to digital
signals for digital beamforming.
The delay them of time digital signals are controlled by the FIFO and then are summed
together by the BFIC. This process is called beamforming.
In addition, the Beamformer also performs Dynamic Apodization, Multi Beam Receiving, TGC
and other functions for improving the image quality.

Digital Scan Converter (DSC)

The Digital Scan Converter PCB consists of three main parts: a Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) Part, a Digital Scan Converter (DSC) Part, and a Video Manager (VM) Part.
DSP Part
The DSP Part consists of a 2D mode part, a Spectral Doppler Part, and a Color Doppler Part.
The 2D mode part receives the beamformed output signals, generates B/W signal (2D image)
data and sends it to the DSC Part.
The Spectral doppler mode part separates the RF signals received for Doppler direction
separation into I (Inphase) signals and Q (Quadrature) signals. Then it uses the clutter filter to
remove the clutter noise in which is a kind o wall noise from vein wall out of the signals. The
signals with wall noise removed are sent to the PCC Board for the Doppler Sound process,
and they are sent to the FFT circuit, where the basic Doppler elements Power, Velocity, and
Variance are analyzed.
The Color Doppler mode part receives the I signals and Q signals, removes the wall noise and
adds colors by using Color Flow Mapping.
DSC Part
The DSC Part consists of the image filter circuit (which improves the image quality), the frame
memory part (which writes the scan line data and displays the monitor on the H-sync), Zoom,
and FreeHand 3D Path.
The DSC Part combines into one screen the information from the 2D / Spectral Doppler / Color
Doppler modes which are generated through different paths.
VM Part
The VM Part converts the digital data into RGC signals for displaying on the monitor and
converts the digital signals into analog signals. It also combines the menu information from the
PC and the image information from the system together for displaying on the screen.
It generates various video output signals in order to support other external devices.
