Principles of Operation
Medical ultrasound images are created by computer and digital
memory from the transmission and reception of mechanical
high-frequency waves applied through a transducer. The
mechanical ultrasound waves spread through the body,
producing an echo where density changes occur. For example,
in the case of human tissue, an echo is created where a signal
passes from an adipose tissue (fat) region to a muscular tissue
region. The echoes return to the transducer where they are
converted back into electrical signals.
These echo signals are highly amplified and processed by
several analog and digital circuits having filters with many
frequency and time response options, transforming the
high-frequency electrical signals into a series of digital image
signals which are stored in memory. Once in memory, the image
can be displayed in real-time on the image monitor. All signal
transmission, reception and processing characteristics are
controlled by the main computer. By selection from the system
control panel, the user can alter the characteristics and features
of the system, allowing a wide range of uses, from obstetrics to
peripheral vascular examinations.
Transducers are accurate, solid-state devices, providing multiple
image formats. The digital design and use of solid-state
components provides highly stable and consistent imaging
performance with minimal required maintenance. Sophisticated
design with computer control offers a system with extensive
features and functions which is user-friendly and easy to use.

Before the system arrives
The ultrasound unit must operate within the proper environment
and in accordance with the requirements described in this
section. Before using the system, ensure that the requirements
are met.
Power Requirements
• A separate power outlet with a 6.5 amp circuit breaker.
• Frequency: 50/60 Hz
• 100V - 240V AC (+/-10%)
Electromagnetic interferences
This medical equipment is approved, in terms of the prevention
of radio wave interference, to be used in hospitals, clinics and
other institutions which are environmentally qualified. The use of
this equipment in an inappropriate environment may cause
some electronic interference to radios and televisions around
the equipment.
Ensure that the following is provided for the new system:
• Take precautions to ensure that the console is protected
from electromagnetic interference.
Precautions include:
• Operate the console at least 15 feet away from motors,
typewriters, elevators, and other sources of strong
electromagnetic radiation.
• Operation in an enclosed area (wood, plaster or
concrete walls, floors and ceilings) helps prevent
electromagnetic interference.
• Special shielding may be required if the console is to be
operated in the vicinity of radio broadcast equipment.
CAUTION
Do not operate the system in the vicinity of a heat source, of
strong electric or magnetic fields (close to a transformer), or
near instruments generating high-frequency signals, such as
HF surgery. These can affect the ultrasound images adversely.
