NOTE: This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. The
equipment may cause radio frequency interference to other medical and
non-medical devices and radio communications. To provide reasonable
protection against such interference, this product complies with emissions limits
for a Group 1, Class A Medical Devices Directive as stated in EN 60601–1–2.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
NOTE: If this equipment is found to cause interference (which may be determined by
turning the equipment on and off), the user (or qualified service personnel)
should attempt to correct the problem by one or more of the following
measure(s):
– reorient or relocate the affected device(s)
– increase the separation between the equipment and the affected device
– power the equipment from a source different from that of the affected device
– consult the point of purchase or service representative for further
suggestions
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any interference caused by using other
than recommended interconnect cables or by unauthorized changes or
modifications to this equipment. Unauthorized changes or modifications could
void the users’ authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: To comply with the regulations on electromagnetic interference for a Class A
FCC Device, all interconnect cables to peripheral devices must be shielded and
properly grounded. Use of cables not properly shielded and grounded may
result in the equipment causing radio frequency interference in violation of the
FCC regulations.
NOTE: Do not use devices which intentionally transmit RF Signals (cellular phones,
transceivers, or radio controlled products) in the vicinity of the equipment as it
may cause performance outside the published specifications. Keep the power
to these type devices turned off when near this equipment.
The medical staff in charge of this equipment is required to instruct technicians,
patients, and other people who may be around this equipment to fully comply
with the above requirement.

System Features
LOGIQ500’s Features
The LOGIQ500 digital Ultrasound System is a high
performance ultrasound imaging system, intended for general
purpose applications.
The system provides image generation in B-Mode, M-Mode,
Pulsed, CW and Color Flow Doppler and Color M-Mode with all
transducer types. Digital architecture allows maximum flexibility
of all scanning modes and transducer types, throughout the full
spectrum of operating frequencies.
All transducers are precise solid state array devices, allowing
electronically controlled imaging with Phased Array Sector,
Convex, Micro-convex and Steered Linear probes. Use of solid
state digital designs allows a wide variety of scan parameters to
be optimized including focusing, scan control, spatial resolution,
temporal resolution and contrast resolution. The result is
consistent generation of finely detailed anatomical resolution
with excellent dynamic contrast tissue range and penetration.
LOGIQ500 also features newly integrated specialized
processing for Flow Data acquisition. Doppler information is
displayed with low noise and clean spectral content to optimize
measurements of important flow parameters. Selected probes
can operate in Multifrequency Mode in order to Optimize
Resolution in B-Mode and Sensitivity to flow in Doppler and
Color Flow Modes.
The system display processor is highly versatile to produce the
optimal set of imaging parameters and display formats without
compromising important diagnostic information. Comprehensive
graphical displays allow rapid and easy placement of Doppler
sample volumes. In Color Flow Mode, combined B-Mode and
Color Flow images can be steered independently so that optimal
positioning is available in both modes.

LOGIQ500’s Features
Versatile, yet easy to use, the LOGIQ500 system combines a
wide variety of state-of-the-art operator features without
complicating operation. The operator can customize all set-up
parameters for a given mode, probe or clinical application.
Operator controls have been placed in a logical clinical format
with both hard controls and menu-driven soft control
components. Three simultaneous probe connections allow
rapid switching electronically between probes without delaying
the examination.
The LOGIQ500 System provides a total imaging solution for
today’s diverse ultrasound department needs, with investment
security through reliable upgrades, application enhancements,
and complete product support from GE.
Improved operator interface and system ergonomics
The LOGIQ500 has been designed to streamline users’
workflow, especially by:
Creating intuitive user controls and prompts
Grouping controls by mode or functionality
Making the controls easy to recognize by touch
Assures users that with little effort and minimum time they can
produce a complete exam with consistently high quality images.
The sonographer can comfortably have full reach of all controls
making the system easy to learn in order to perform a quality
exam on any patient.
Improved sensitivity and resolution in each imaging mode
Benefits the user with improved acquisition and presentation of
images and biometric information.
