ESD
Electrostatic 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. The static shock, or ESD, is a discharge of the electrical energy
buildup from a charged individual to a lesser or uncharged individual or object. An ESD occurs
when an individual with an electrical energy build-up comes in to contact with conductive objects
such as metal doorknobs, file cabinets, computer equipment, and even other individuals.
■ The level of electrical energy discharged from a system user or a patient

to an ultrasound system can be significant enough to cause damage to
the system or probes.
■ Always perform the pre-ESD preventive procedures before using
connectors marked with the ESD warning label.
CAUTION - Apply anti-static spray to carpets or linoleum.
- Use anti-static mats.
- Ground the product to the patient table or bed.
■ It is highly recommended that the user be given training on ESD-related
warning symbols and preventive procedures.

devices, commercial radio and TV, and so on.
3. Conducted interference on power lines or connected cables caused by other equipment, such as
switching power supplies, electrical controls, and natural phenomena such as lightning.
A medical device can either generate or receive electromagnetic interference. The EMC
standards describe tests for both emitted and received interference.
Samsung Medison ultrasound systems do not generate interference in excess of the

referenced standards.
The Ultrasound System is designed to receive signals at radio frequency and is therefore
susceptible to interference generated by RF energy sources. Examples of other sources of

interference are medical devices, information technology products, and radio and television
transmission towers. Tracing the source of radiated interference can be a difficult task.
Customers should consider the following in an attempt to locate the source:
- Is the interference intermittent or constant?
- Does the interference show up only with one transducer operating at the same
frequency or with several transducers?
- Do two different transducers operating at the same frequency have the same problem?
- Is the interference present if the system is moved to a different location in the facility?
The answers to these questions will help to determine if the problem resides with the
system or the scanning environment. After you answer this question, contact your local
Samsung Medison customer service representative.

ALARA Principle
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 circumstance. 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 sonographer’s
responsibility to control the 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,
the Ultrasound System provides controls that can be manipulated during the exam to optimize the results.
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 its applications, have resulted in the need for increased and improved
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 mass, 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.
▐Applying ALARA
The system imaging mode used depends upon the information needed. 2D-mode and M-mode imaging
provide anatomical information, while Doppler, Power, and Color imaging provide information about
blood flow. Scanned modes, like 2D-mode, Power, or Color, disperse or scatter the ultrasonic energy
over an area, while an unscanned mode, like M-mode or Doppler, concentrate the ultrasonic energy.
Understanding the nature of the imaging mode being used allows the sonographer to apply the ALARA
principle with informed judgment. The probe frequency, system set-up values, scanning techniques, and
operator experience aid the sonographer in meeting 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 biological effect is actually occurring, it 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 and 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 depending on your selection. Selecting the correct range of
acoustic intensity for the application is one of the first things required during any exam. For example,
peripheral vascular intensity levels are not recommended for fetal exams. Some systems automatically
select the proper range for a particular procedure, while others require manual selection. Ultimately, the
user bears the responsibility for proper clinical use. Samsung Medison systems provide both
automatic and user-definable 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 output intensity. The output control allows you to select
intensity levels less than the defined maximum. Prudent use dictates that you select the lowest output
intensity consistent with good image quality.
▐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. 2D-mode is a scanning
mode, Doppler is a stationary or unscanned mode. A stationary ultrasound beam concentrates energy
on a single location. A moving or scanned ultrasound beam disperses the energy over a wide area and
the beam is only concentrated on a given area for a fraction of the time that is necessary in 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 pulses of energy in a given 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.
The focus of the ultrasound beam affects the image resolution. To maintain or increase resolution at a
different focus requires a variation of output over the focal zone. This variation of output is a function of
system optimization. Different exams require different focal depths. Setting the focus to 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, burst length or pulse duration is the output pulse
duration in pulsed Doppler. Increasing the Doppler sample volume, increases the pulse length.
Probe selection affects intensity indirectly. Tissue attenuation changes with frequency. The higher the
probe operating frequency, the greater the attenuation of the ultrasonic energy. Higher probe operating
frequencies require higher output intensity to scan at an increased 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 increasing
output. For example; before increasing output, optimize gain to improve image quality.
▐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 will require a follow-
up, which ultimately increases the time. Diagnostic ultrasound is an important tool in medicine, and,
like any tool, 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 consists of the following indices: soft tissue (TIs), bone (TIb) and cranial bone (TIc). One
of these three thermal indices will be displayed at all times. Which one depends upon the system’s
default setting 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 the 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. The
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 as to which of the three
thermal indices to display 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.Some factors might create artificially high or low thermal index readings, e.g. the presence of
fluid or bone, or the flow of blood. A highly attenuating tissue path, for example, will cause the
potential for local zone heating to be less than the thermal index displays.
Scanned 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 but 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 biological effects 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. However, there is no specific MI value that means that a mechanical
bioeffect will actually occur. The MI should be used as a guide for implementing the ALARA
principle.
 Thermal Index (TI) Display
The TI informs the user about the potential for temperature increase occurring at the body surface,
within body tissue, or at the point of focus of the ultrasound beam on bone. The TI is an estimate
of the temperature increase in specific body tissues. The actual amount of any temperature rise is
influenced by factors such as tissue type, vascularity, mode of operation, etc. The TI should be
used as a guide for implementing the ALARA principle.
The bone thermal index (TIb) informs the user about potential heating at or near the focus, after
the ultrasound beam has passed through soft tissue or fluid, for example, at or near second or
third trimester fetal bone. The cranial bone thermal index (TIc) informs the user about the
potential heating of bone at or near the surface of, for example, cranial bone. The soft tissue
thermal index (TIs) informs the user about the potential for heating within soft homogeneous
tissue. TIc is displayed when you select a trans-cranial application.
You can select TI Display in Utility > Setup > Display > Display.
 Precision and Accuracy of Mechanical and Thermal Indices Displays
The mechanical and thermal indices on the system are precise to 0.1 units.
The MI and TI display accuracy estimates for the system are given in the Acoustic Output Tables
manual. These accuracy estimates are based on the various range of probes and systems,
inherent acoustic output modeling errors, and measurement variation, as described below.
The displayed values should be interpreted as relative information to help the system operator
achieve the ALARA principle through prudent use of the system. The values should not be
interpreted as actual physical values from investigated tissue or organs. The initial data that is
used to support the output display is derived from laboratory measurements based on the AIUM
measurement standard. The measurements are then put into algorithms for calculating the
displayed output values.
Many of the assumptions used in the process of measurement and calculation are conservative in
nature. Over-estimation of actual in situ exposure, for the vast majority of tissue paths, is built into
the measurement and calculation process. For example, the measured water tank values are
derated using a conservative, industry standard, attenuation coefficient of 0.3dB/cm-MHz.
Conservative values for tissue characteristics were selected for use in the TI models. Conservative
values for tissue or bone absorption rates, blood perfusion rates, blood heat capacity, and tissue
thermal conductivity were selected.
A steady state temperature rise is assumed in the industry standard TI models, and the
assumption is made that the ultrasound probe is held steady in one position long enough for a
steady state to be reached.
A number of factors are considered when estimating the accuracy of display values: hardware
variations, algorithm accuracy estimation and measurement variation. Variation among probes
and systems is a significant factor. Probe variability results from piezoelectric crystal efficiencies,
process-related impedance differences, and sensitive lens focusing parameter variations.
Differences in the system pulse voltage control and efficiencies are also a contributor to variability.
There are inherent uncertainties in the algorithms used for estimating acoustic output values over
the range of possible system operating conditions and pulse voltages. Inaccuracies in laboratory
measurements are related to differences in hydrophone calibration and performance, positioning,
alignment and digitization tolerances, as well as variation among test operators.
The conservative assumptions of the output estimation algorithms of linear propagation, at all
depths, through a 0.3dB/cm-MHz attenuated medium are not taken into account in calculation of
the accuracy estimate displayed. Neither linear propagation, nor uniform attenuation at the
0.3dB/cm-MHz rate, occur in water tank measurements or in most tissue paths in the body. In the
body, different tissues and organs have dissimilar attenuation characteristics. In water, there is
almost no attenuation. In the body, and particularly in water tank measurements, non-linear
propagation and saturation losses occur as pulse voltages increase.
The display accuracy estimates take into account the varying ranges of probes and systems,
inherent acoustic output modeling errors, and measurement variations. Display accuracy estimates
are not based on errors in, or caused by measuring according to, the AIUM measurement
standards. They are also independent of the effects of non-linear loss on the measured values.
▐Control Effect - 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 on-screen output
values.
 Power
Power controls the system acoustic output. Two real-time output values are on the screen: a TI
and an MI. They change as the system responds to POWER adjustments.
In combined modes, such as simultaneous Color, 2D-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.
▐2D-mode Controls
 2D-Mode Size
Narrowing the sector angle may increase the frame rate. This action will increase the TI. Pulse
voltage may be automatically adjusted down via software controls to keep the TI below the
system maximums. A decrease in pulse voltage will decrease the MI.
 Zoom
Increasing the zoom magnification may increase the frame rate. This action will increase the TI.
The number of focal zones may also increase automatically to improve resolution. This action
may change the MI, since the peak intensity can occur at a different depth.
 Persistence
A lower persistence will decrease the TI. Pulse voltage may be automatically increased. An
increase in pulse voltage will increase the MI.
 Focal no.
More focal zones may change both the TI and MI by changing the frame rate or focal depth
automatically. Lower frame rates decrease the TI. The MI displayed will correspond to the zone
with the largest peak intensity.
 Focus
Changing the focal depth will change the MI. Generally, higher MI values will occur when the focal
depth is near the natural focus of the transducer.

▐Color and Power Controls

 Color Sensitivity
Increasing the color sensitivity may increase the TI. More time is spent scanning for color images.
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 pulse voltage to stay below the system maximum. A decrease in
pulse voltage will decrease the MI. If pulsed Doppler is also enabled, then pulsed Doppler will
remain as the primary mode and the TI change will be small.
 Color Sector Depth
Deeper color sector depth may automatically decrease color frame rate or change 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 will
automatically adjust pulse voltage to stay below the system maximums. A decrease in pulse
voltage will also decrease MI.
 Sec Width
A narrower 2D-mode sector width in Color imaging will increase color frame rate. The TI will
increase and the MI will not change. If pulsed Doppler is also enabled, then pulsed Doppler will
remain as the primary 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 pulse
voltage to remain below the system maximum. A decrease in pulse voltage will decrease the MI.
▐ Doppler, CW, M-Mode, and Color Imaging Controls
When a new imaging mode is selected, both the TI and the MI will 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 the MI is for the focal zone and mode with the largest derated intensity. If a mode is turned
off and then reselected, the system will return to the previously selected settings.
 Probes
Each probe model available has unique specifications for contact area, beam shape, and center
frequency. Defaults are initialized when you select a probe. Factory defaults vary with probe,
application, and selected mode. Defaults have been chosen below the FDA limits for intended
use.
 Depth
An increase in 2D-mode depth will automatically decrease the 2D-mode frame rate. This would
decrease the TI. The system may also automatically choose a deeper 2D-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. 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 first usage of diagnostic ultrasound, the possible human biological effects (bioeffects) of
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 (Bioeffect 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 28th January, 1993, provides more up to date information.
The acoustic output for this system has been measured and calculated in accordance with the
December 1985 “510 (K) Guide for Measuring and Reporting Acoustic Output of Diagnostic
Ultrasound Medical Devices,” except that the hydrophone meets the requirements of “Acoustic Output
Measurement Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment” (NEMA UD 2-1992).

▐In Situ, De-rated, and Water Value Intensities

All intensity parameters are measured in water. Since water does not absorb acoustic energy, these water
measurements represent a worst case value. Biological tissue does absorb acoustic energy. The true
value of the intensity at any point depends on the amount and type of tissue and the frequency of the
ultrasound that passes through the tissue. The intensity value in the tissue, In Situ has been estimated
using the following formula:
In Situ = Water e − ( 0.23alf )

where: In Situ = In Situ Intensity Value
Water = Water Value Intensity
e = 2.7183
a = Attenuation Factor
Tissue a(dB/cm-MHz)
Brain .53
Heart .66
Kidney .79
Liver .43
Muscle .55
l = skin line to measurement depth (cm)
f = Center frequency of the transducer/system/mode combination (MHz)
Since the ultrasonic path during an examination is likely to pass through varying lengths and types of
tissue, it is difficult to estimate the true In Situ intensity. An attenuation factor of 0.3 is used for general
reporting purposes. Therefore, the In Situvalue which is commonly reported uses the formula:
In Situ (derated) = Water e − ( 0.069lf )
Since this value is not the true in situ intensity, the term “de-rated” is used.
The maximum derated and the maximum water values do not always occur at the same operating
condition. Therefore, the reported maximum water and derated values may not be related to the In Situ
(derated) formula. For example, a multi-zone array transducer that has maximum water value intensities
in its deepest zone: The same transducer may have its largest derated intensity in one of its shallowest
focal zones.
▐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-average intensity (Milliwatts per square centimeter).
ISPPA.3 The derated spatial-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
2
reported instead of MI (global maximum value) if ISPPA.3 is 190W/cm .
Pr.3 The derated peak rarefactional pressure (megapascals) associated with the transmit
pattern giving rise to the reported MI value.
WO Ultrasonic power (milliwatts). For the operating condition giving rise to ISPTA.3, WO is
the total time-average power; For operating conditions 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 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 ranges of center frequencies of the respective
transmit patterns.
ZSP The axial distance at which the reported parameter is measured (centimeters).
x-6,y-6 These are respectively the in-plane (azimuth) and out-of-plane (elevation) -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 azimuth and elevation planes (centimeters).
EDS The entrance dimensions of the scan for the azimuth and elevation planes (centimeters).
▐Acoustic Measurement Precision and Uncertainty
The Acoustic Measurement Precision and Acoustic Measurement Uncertainty are described below.
Quantity Precision Total Uncertainty
PII.3 (derated pulse intensity integral) 3.2 % +21 % to - 24 %
Wo (acoustic power) 6.2 % +/- 19 %
Pr.3 (derated rarefaction pressure) 5.4 % +/- 15 %
Fc (center frequency) <1% +/- 4.5 %
 Systematic Uncertainties
For the pulse intensity integral, derated rarefaction pressure, Pr.3, Center frequency and pulse
duration, the analysis includes considerations of the effects on accuracy of:
Hydrophone calibration drift or errors.
Hydrophone / Amp frequency response.
Spatial averaging.
Alignment errors.
Voltage measurement accuracy, including.
- Oscilloscope vertical accuracy.
- Oscilloscope offset accuracy.
- Oscilloscope clock accuracy.
- Oscilloscope Digitization rates.
- Noise.
The systematic uncertainties of acoustic power measurements using a radiation force are measured
through the use of calibrated NIST acoustic power sources.
We also refer to a September 1993 analysis done by a working group of the IEC technical committee 87
and prepared by K. Beissner, as a first supplement to IEC publication 1161.
The document includes analysis and discussion of the sources of error/measurement effects due to:
Balance system calibration.
Absorbing (or reflecting) target suspension mechanisms.
Linearity of the balance system.
Extrapolation to the moment of switching the ultrasonic transducer (compensation for ringing and
thermal drift).
Target imperfections.
Absorbing (reflecting ) target geometry and finite target size.
Target misalignment.
Ultrasonic transducer misalignment.
Water temperature.
Ultrasonic attenuation and acoustic streaming.
Coupling or shielding foil properties.
Plane-wave assumption.
Environmental influences.
Excitation voltage measurement.
Ultrasonic transducer temperature.
Effects due to nonlinear propagation and saturation loss.
The overall findings of the analysis give a rough Acoustic Power accuracy figure of ±10% for the frequency
range of 1 – 10 MHz.

NOTE
TIP Principles of Operation of the Diagnostic Ultrasound System

Medical ultrasound images are created when the computer’s digital memory
converts the high-frequency wave signals that are transmitted and received by
the probe.
As ultrasound waves propagate through the human body, they generate
reflected signals whenever they encounter a change in density. For example,
reflected signals are generated when signals pass from fatty tissues to muscle
tissues. Reflected signals return to the probe where they are converted into
electronic signals. The reflected signals are amplified and processed by analog
and digital circuits that have filters for various frequencies and response time
options. Then they are again converted into high-frequency electronic signals,
and saved as a series of digital image signals. The monitor displays the image
signals stored on the storage device in real time.
The entire process of transmitting, receiving, and processing signals is
controlled by the computer.
Control Panel

Basic Structure of HS70A
Overview
HS70A consists of the Ultrasound System Part and the User Interface Part. However, when
considered as an electronic structure, it consists of a Front End Part, a Back End Part, a User
Interface Part, and a Power Part. A description of HS70A as an electronic structure is as
follows:
Front End Part refers to the PSA (Probe Select Assembly), BF (Beamformer), and CW
(Continuous Wave Board). The main functions of the Front End Part are to deliver High
Voltage Pulser to the probe, thereby generating ultrasonic waves, and to amplify the returning
echo signal to process Digital Beamforming. The RF signal generated here is sent to the Back
End Part.
Back End Part refers to the BE (Back End) of the Ultrasound System Part as well as the PC
Module.
It generates various diagnostic images such as BW, Color Doppler, PW Doppler, Power
Doppler, etc. from the RF signal generated by the BF (Beamformer), and displays the images
on the monitor so that the user can view them. In addition, it incorporates new technologies
such as SCI and SDMR to facilitate a wide variety of diagnostic exams.
User Interface Part means the LCD monitor and control panel (including touch panel).
The Power Part can be divided as AC-DC Power Module and DC-DC Power Module; AC-DC
Power Module converts AC voltage into DC to supply power to DC-DC Power Module as well
as PC power of the PC part. DC-DC Power Module supplies voltage to boards of the
Ultrasound System, while the PC Power supplies voltage to the PC Part.
The main function of the Main Board is to implement the ultrasound data up to the stage
before Scan Converter. It performs some Front End Part and Back End Part functions. This
detects probes and sends system information and application information in accordance with
user environment to each Board. it performs TX Focusing and RX Focusing based on such
information. When high voltage Pulser is sent to the probe according to TX Focusing,
ultrasonic waves are generated; echo signals returning from the body go through an
amplification circuit to undergo Digital Beamforming processing. The RF signal obtained here
goes through various filtering and processing to generate image signals such as BW, Color
Doppler, PW Doppler, CW Doppler, Power Doppler, etc., which are sent to the PC Module to
be implemented on the monitor.
The DC to DC Power Module supplies power to the Ultrasound System Part.
The Ultrasound System Part consists of the following:
• PSA(Probe Select Assembly) Board
• AC(Analog Control)
• BF(Beamformer) Board
• BE(Back End Board)
• DDM (DC to DC Power Module)
• CW(Continuous Wave Board)
PC Part
It main function consists of the Scan Converter and image output circuits for displaying the
ultrasound information generated by the Ultrasound System Part on the monitor. It also
performs control panel and interface functions.
The ultrasound image information from the Ultrasound System Part is connected to PC Part at
PCIF with DMA method, and the ultrasound image is displayed through software DSC and
VGA.
Previous type of the ultrasound image scanner uses the Hardware DSC method, but HS70A
uses the Software DSC and the ultrasound images are displayed on a LCD monitor.
PC Power Supply uses Micro ATX as standard, and it supplies power to PC Part.
The PC Part consists of the following:
• PCIE(Peripheral Component Interconnect Express)

• DVI(Digital Video Interface)
• VGA(Video Graphics Array)
• PC Mother Board
• Rear Panel
• PC Power Supply
User Interface Part
This part allows the user to view ultrasound images on the LCD monitor to make a diagnosis,
and to control HS70A by using the control panel and touch panel.
Images are sent by the Ultrasound Part to the LCD monitor and peripherals. Output images
available include VHS, S-VHS, Composite and DVI, while input images include VHS and S-
VHS. In addition, the control panel consists of various interfaces to allow the user to operate
the system conveniently.
The User Interface Part consists of the following:
• LCD Monitor(LCD Inverter Board, LCD Control Volume)
• AD Board
• Control Panel Board
• Touch Panel
• Track Ball
• Alpha-Numeric Key Board
AC to Power Module
It converts external 110/230V AC voltage to the DC voltage to supply power to DDM (DC to
DC Power Module) of Ultrasound System Part, and it also supplies stabilized AC voltage to PC
Power Supply of PC Part. Power circuit breaker prevents any possible troubles due to
overcurrent.
PSA
▐ Main Functions
PSA serves as an interface for the System and the Probe.
Probe Connector has 4 of 408-pin Connectors and 1 of LEMO Connector and has the CW
selection relay to support CW.
Also, it has 3D Probe Drive Path, Probe Insert Path, Port Select Path and CW Path and it has
the Relay circuit to select one probe out of 4 probes.

▐ Specification
• Local Power distribution
• LV/HV Power Switching
• 4 Probe Port Support
• Probe Check
• 3D probe path
Chapter 5. Product Structure 5 - 11
▐ Operational Principles
 High Voltage Switching Process
HS70A는 supports 128 Channels, and uses up to 192-Element Probes. Since the
Beamformer’s Pulser and Receiver circuit structure has only 128 Channels, additional
Element Selection is required. Element Selection uses 24 High Voltage Switches, and
performs switching with the control signal sent from the Main Board’s Control Logic (CPLD).
Control Signal is connected via Mother Board Connectorfmf.
The inner structure of the High Voltage Switch consists of Shift Register and High Voltage
FET.
 High Voltage Switching Process
It consists of circuits to choose one of four probes. It can use the relay of the latched type
to select a probe chosen by user.
The relay is operated by the probe select signal transmitted from the control logic (CPLD)
of CW (Continuous Wave Board). Probe Select signal is connected through the Mother
Board Connector. Probe Select signals are connected via the Mother Board Connector.
 CW Probe Switching
Steered CW Switching: Steered CW has, separate from the Beam former Board, Tx
29CH and Rx 29CH and, by using Not latch Relay, it converts the signal line from Phased
Array Probe to the CW Board at Steered CW Mode. Because it has 29CH, there are 15
AGN20012s for CW Tx and there are 15 AGN20012 for CW Rx.
Static CW Switching:Static CW has Tx 1CH and Rx 1CH separately from the Beam
Former Board. Signal lines from Pencil Probe in the Stactic CW Mode will be directly
connected to the CW Board without Relay.
Analog Control

It checks the versions of 3D probe drive, Clock Generation, Probe Control, HV Switch Control,
and BackPlane.

• Probe Check (ID/Insert/Port)
The operational principle of the 3D Probe is the implementation of 3D mode through the
actuation of Stepping Motor. The Motor Board performs feedback control with SIN and COS
o
waveforms that have a 90 -phase difference with the 3D Probe. Here, the 3D Probe provides a
Null Position signal to the Motor Board, and the Motor Board provides One Frame signal, which
is the standard signal for obtaining 3D images, to BE Board.
It monitors the voltage of HV Power in the BF Board and sends it to PC.
It provides the ATGC Curve to the BF Board.

Beam Former Board
▐ Main Functions
Beamformer board is located between PSA and Back-end and it sends a ultrasound signal
focused on a specific position of the body and amplifies the received signal to convert it to a
Digital signal. Then it beamforms the signal and relays the Focused data to Back-end for Mid-
processing. BF Board consists of Pulser, TR Switch, LNA, TGC, ADC and BFIC.
[Figure 5.5 Front End Block Diagram]
• Pulser: consists of 192 channels and it can run 192 element Probes.
• TR Switch: deletes the HV element from Probe to prevent it from flowing to LNA.
• LNA: amplifies the received ultrasound signal and TGC Amp compensates the
attenuation due to Depth to send the signal to ADC.
• ADC: converts the amplified Echo signal to digital data.
• BFIC: It Rx focuses the RX echo signals of 128 CH and sends them to BE Part.
• TX FPGA: The generated exciting pulse signal is entered into Pulser, converted to high-
pressured bipolar pulse and sent to Probe.

 TX Pulser
Exciting pulse data provided by the BF ASIC (MCB124) go through the TX Pulse Buffer and
are provided to the TX Pulse (MAX4811). The TX Pulser uses the high voltage and Exciting
pulse data provided by the DC-DC Module to generate Bipolar Pulser. Bipolar Pulser uses
PSA (Probe Select Assembly) to send to the Probe Element, thereby generating ultrasonic
waves.
 Receive Channel
The Receive Channel serves the function of an Analog Digital Conversion, which enables
Beamforming by amplifying the Echo propagated through, and reflected from, the media of
human body.
It consists of a Limiter, a Pre-Amp, a TGC-Amp, a Low-Pass Filter, and an A/D Converter.
1) Limiter
It removes unnecessary signals from the Echo signals returned through High Voltage
Switch of PSA(Probe Select Assembly. Tx Pulse up to 180 Vpp and echo signals of a few
mV are mixed together, but since the RX data actually needed are echo signals of
extremely small magnitude in mV range, the Tx Pulse must be eliminated before they are
sent to the Pre-Amp. The Limiter removes signal over approximately 0.6V before sending
the echo signal to the Pre-Amp.
2) Pre-Amp
The Pre-Amp amplifies the unprocessed small-magnitude echo signal in mV range.
3) TGC-Amp
The TGC (Time Gain Compensation) Amp consists of 4 channels per one unit.
It compensates for the time or distance-dependent reduction characteristics of echo

signals that have been propagated through, or reflected from media.
4) Anti-aliasing Filter (Low Pass Filter)

The Low-Pass Filter filters the nose out of Stop Band, which is not the band of ultrasound
signals. It also serves as an anti-aliasing filter, minimizing the aliasing phenomena that
may occur with high frequency probes such as the 7.5MHz probe. Aliasing phenomena
of high-frequency probes are caused by the restriction of the sampling clock in BF ASIC.
5) A/D Converter
This converts an analog signal into a digital signal to be used for Digital Beamforming.
 Digital Beam forming
Ultrasonic waves generated by a probe use a Channel method that utilizes multiple
Elements to perform TX Focusing. Ultrasonic waves generated from each channel are
reflected by media and return as reflected echo signals. However, the echoes do not return
to the Probe Element simultaneously; they return to each Element at different times, which
necessitates a way to compensate for this time difference. It is required to perform RX
Focusing; it is also very important for generating ultrasound images.
Digital Beam forming takes the echo signals entering the Probe Element and samples the
data at the junction of the time axis and the curve, which is then stored in the memory. When
sampling is complete, the data accumulated in the memory have been time-compensated
when they were stored; time compensation is performed by the Sampling Clock itself. RX
Focusing is completed by simply reading the data stored in the memory and adding them.
Since this method requires different Sampling Clocks for each Element, the VSCG (Variable
Sampling Clock Generator) is necessary. The VSCG (Variable Sampling Clock Generator)
uses 61.6Mhz, which is same as the A/D Sampling Clock; necessary data is generated
within BF ASIC (MCB124A).
CW Board
▐ Main Functions
The CW Board provides the basic functions for system operation and Continuous Wave Doppler
function.
[Figure 5.7 AC Board Layout]

Delay & Focusing by amplifying the Echo propagated through, and reflected from, the media of
human body.
1) LNA: It amplifies the received signal.
2) Delay & Focusing: It combines Rx input signals from 29 channels as a single signal.

Back End Board
▐ Main Functions
Back End Board (hereinafter BE Board) can be divided into DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
Part, DMA & RTC Part, and, Analog Sound Part.
The DSP Part receives RF data and CW I/Q data from the BF Board and CW Board and
processes the data into image data such as BW Image, PW Doppler, CW Doppler, Color
Doppler, Power Doppler, etc. The created Image Data is processed by DMA & RTC Part of BE
Board for Frame Average etc., and then sent to the PC Part through PCI BUS to be calculated
by Software DSC. The Analog Sound Part receives Doppler sound data from the DSP Part,
processes the data with the Digital Analog Converter, amplifies and sends them to the speaker.
BE Board consists of ASIC (MCB028A), FPGA, Analog Sound part and more.

▐ Specification
• Focused RF Data Interface
• RTC(Real Time Controller)
• PCI-express Interface
• BW Data Processing
• Spectral Doppler Data Processing
• Color Doppler Data Processing
• Motion Data Processing
• Digital Signal Processing (Pre Processing, Post Processing)
• Direct Memory Access
• Sound Control(Doppler, PC Wave) - 4CH Sound System(2CH Twitter, 2CH Woofer)

▐ Operational Principles of DSP Part

 Image Data Processing in BW Mode and M Mode
RF Data generated by the BF Board is entered as FPGA Input.

The entered RF Data is converted into computable RF Data at FPGA Input, and then
entered as the input for ASIC (MCB028A).
ASIC(MCB028A) generates BW mode Image Data (hereinafter, BW Data) and sends it to
FPGA.
ASIC(MCB028A) creates BW Data and processes FSI (Full Spectrum Image), Spatial
Compound Imaging (SCI), Trapezoidal imaging, Synthetic aperture, and more.
To generate BW Data, it receives RF Data input and go through the process of DTGC
(Digital Time Gain Compensation), Decimation, Quadrature mixer, Envelope detection, Log
compression and several filtering.
BW Data generated by ASIC (MCB028A) as described above is entered into FPGA again. It
goes through FSI (Full Spectrum Image) and Lateral filter to remove Multibeam artifact and
BW Data is sent to FPGA.
Note that the BW Data can be used as Motion mode Image Data.
 Doppler Image Data Processing

The entered RF Data is converted into computable RF Data at FPGA, and then entered
as the input for ASIC (MCB028A).
ASIC (MCB028A) receives RF Data input and processes through DTGC (Digital Time
Gain Compensation), Decimation, Quadrature Mixer, etc. to create I/Q data (In-phase &
Quadrature Data). I/Q Data is entered into FPGA again.
I/Q Data is processed at FPGA to generate Doppler Data and it is sent to DMA & RTC
Part. Detailed descriptions are as follows.
FPGA which received I/Q Data filters the data and filters CW I/Q Data from CW Board
in the same way to send the final Doppler Data to PC Part. PW and CW cannot be
processed simultaneously, therefore all operations are controlled by the internal control
process.
In addition, I/Q Data go through a Clutter Filter and are sent to a FFT (Fast Fourier
Transform) circuit for generating Doppler Spectrum, which isolates the basic elements
of Doppler, i.e. power, velocity, and variance, to generate Doppler Data. It is entered
into DSP FPGA again and is sent to DMA & RTC Part of BE Board.
Doppler Sound Filtered I/Q Data from FPGA go through the Clutter filtering to remove
the Wall Noise from Doppler DSP and is processed with Hilbert transform. The direction
of sound is removed to generate Doppler Sound.
 Color Image Data Processing

The entered RF Data is converted into computable RF Data at the ASIC (MCB028A),
and then entered as the input for ASIC (MCB028A).
ASIC (MCB028A) receives RF Data input and processes through DTGC (Digital Time
Gain Compensation), Decimation, Quadrature mixer, etc. to create I/Q data (In-phase &
Quadrature Data). I/Q Data is entered into FPGA again.
I/Q data is processed at ASIC (MCB028A) to generate Color data and is sent to PC
Part. Detailed descriptions are as follows.
FPGA that receives I/Q data will send it to ASIC (MCB028A) to detect Color elements.
However, as Color elements include Wall (blood vessel wall) Noise, it is sent to FPGA
again for Rejection, Smooth Filter and Post filter processing. In these processes, Color
Data is completed and sent to DMA & RTC Part of the BE Board.
▐ Operational Principles of Analog Sound Part

The Analog Sound Part processes Doppler Sound and sends it to the speaker.
Doppler Sound is generated in the Doppler Part, and sent to the Analog Sound Part.
Doppler Sound goes through the Audio Digital Analog Converter process, because the
speaker only receives analog sound waves. Next, noise removal and Doppler Sound
amplification are performed before sending to the speaker.
▐ Operational principle of DMA & RTC Part (including FPGA

function)
 DMA Part
DMA (Direct Memory Access) consists of FA (Frame Average), DMA and ECG In/Out Part.
FA (Frame Average) processes BW, Doppler, and Color Data by averaging the current
frame’s scan line data and the previous frame’s scan line data. DMA temporarily stores the
BW, Doppler, and Color Data that have been Frame Averaged, to send them through PCI
BUS when requested by the PC Part. It also stores ECG Data and sends it in the same
manner.
Since DMA uses the PC Part and the DMA Path for processing, it plays a very important role
in enhancing the performance of the product.
 RTC Part
RTC (Real Time Controller) creates the standard signal for the entire system operations
in real time to control the system operations. It generates PRF(Pulse Repeat Frequency),
OF(One Frame), RP(Rate Pulse), Linotype and Scan Line, which are required for BF Board
and DSP Part of the BE Board. Also, internally it controls data flow at the DMA FPGA.

Probes
The probe is a device that sends and receives ultrasound for acquiring image data. It is also
called a Transducer or Scanhead.
The system limits patient contact temperature to 43°C, and acoustic output values to their
respective U.S. FDA limits. A power protection fuse circuit protects against overcurrent
conditions. If the power monitor protection circuit senses an overcurrent condition, then the drive
current to the probe is shut off immediately, preventing overheating of the probe surfaces and
limiting acoustic output.
▌ Probe List
The ultrasound image scanner uses probes to obtain graphic data of the human body and
then displays it on the screen. Always use application-specific probes in order to obtain the
best quality images. It is also important to use a preset that is best suited to the particular
organ being scanned.

■ The default thermal index may vary by preset.

■ You may change the thermal index at Setup > Display > Option > TI Display.
NOTE
Ultrasound Transmission Gel

For successful acoustic signal transmission, please only use the ultrasound gels approved by
Samsung Medison.
■ The use of inappropriate ultrasound gels could result in damages in the

probe. Using damaged probe could cause injuries such as electric shock in
users or patients.
WARNING ■ Do not use ultrasound gels or contact media that contain the following
contents.
– Oils such as mineral oil, cooking oil, gasoline, solvents, rust inhibitors,
lanolin, paraffin-based grease, ester and excessive silicon-based release
agent.
– Alcohols such as acetone, methanol, plasticizer (dioctylphtalate) or
denatured alcohols.
– Glacial acetic acid and iodine.
– All types of lotions or gels that contain aromatic substances.
▌ Gel Warmer (Optional)

The Gel Warmer keeps the ultrasound gel warm. Warming up ultrasound gel takes
approximately 5 minutes.
■ Always turn the Gel Warmer off when it is not in use.

■ Do not put your hands inside the Gel Warmer, as it may burn your skin.
WARNING
■ Do not use the Gel Warmer for purposes other than to control the
temperature of ultrasound gel.
■ Do not place the probe or any other equipment inside the Gel Warmer.
CAUTION ■ Do not touch the power terminal of the Gel Warmer while you are examining
a patient. There is a risk of electric shock from leakage current.
■ Do not apply excessive force to the Gel Warmer, or you may damage its
support parts.
Using Sheath
Sheaths are recommended for clinical applications of an invasive nature, including
intraoperative, transrectal, transvaginal, and biopsy procedures.
Samsung Medison does not supply sheaths, so you should purchase appropriate supplies from
your regular supplier.
■ Always keep sheaths in a sterile state.

■ Sheaths are disposable. Do not reuse them.
■ If sheaths are torn or soiled after use, clean and disinfect the probe.
WARNING
■ In neurosurgical applications, a disinfected probe must 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 successfully sterilized by any disinfection method.
■ Some sheaths contain natural rubber latex and talc, which can cause
allergic reactions in some individuals. Please refer to the FDA Medical Alert
released on March 29, 1991.
▌ Installing the Sheath

1. Put on sterile gloves. Unpack the sheath and fill it with acoustic coupling gel.
2. Insert the probe into the sheath and pull the latex tip to cover the probe completely. If
possible, cover the probe cable as well.
3. Ensure that there are no air bubbles within the ultrasound gel. If necessary, secure the
sheath to the probe and the probe cable.
4. Dispose of the sheath after use.
Probe Precautions
■ Do not apply mechanical shocks to the probe.

■ Do not place the probe cable on the floor where the cable can be run over
by equipment wheels, etc. Do not apply excessive force to bend or pull the
CAUTION cable.
■ Do not immerse the probe into any inappropriate substances such as
alcohol, bleach, ammonium chloride, and hydrogen peroxide.
■ Do not expose the probe to temperatures of 50°C or higher.
The probe can easily be damaged by improper use or by coming into contact with certain
chemical substances. Always follow the instructions in the user manual to inspect the probe
cable, case and lens before and after each use.
Check for cracks, broken parts, leaks and sharp edges. If there is any damage, immediately
stop using the probe and contact Samsung Medison’s servicing department. Using damaged
probes may result in electric shocks and other hazards to the patients and/or users.
▌ Use and Infection Control of the Probe
No neurosurgical treatments or examinations should be carried out on a patient

with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (critical brain disease caused by virus). If the
probe has been used on such a patient, it cannot be sterilized by any method
whatsoever.
WARNING
Sufficient washing and disinfecting must be carried out to prevent infection.

This is the responsibility of the user who manages and maintains the
disinfection procedures for the equipment. Always use legally approved
detergents.
CAUTION
The ultrasonographic image scanner uses ultrasound, and it makes direct contact with the
patient when in use. Depending on the types of examinations, such contact can be made to
a wide variety of locations, including the ordinary skin or the location of blood transfusion
during surgery.
The most effective method to prevent infection among patients is to use each probe only
once. However, probes may need to be reused, as they are complex in design and
expensive. Consequently, the safety instructions must be followed carefully in order to
minimize the risk of infection among patients.
▌ Electric Shocks
The probe uses electrical energy. If it touches conductive materials, there are risks of electric
shocks to the patient or the user.
■ Have the system regularly inspected by Samsung Medison technicians for

electric leaks.
■ Do not immerse the probe into liquid.
WARNING
■ Do not drop the probe or apply mechanical shocks.
■ Inspect the housing, strain relief, lens and seal for damage, and check for
any functional problem before and after each use.
■ Do not apply excessive force to twist, pull or bend the probe cable.
■ The power protection fuse protects the probe and the product from excess
current. If the power monitoring protection circuit detects excess current, it
immediately shuts off the current to the probe in order to prevent the probe
surface from overheating and to restrict the ultrasound power output.
■ The temperature of the product for making contact with patients is limited
under 43°C. The ultrasound power output (AP&I) is in compliance with US
FDA standards.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the Probe

Using an inappropriate cleaning or sterilizing agent may damage the product.
■ Always use protective eyewear and gloves when cleaning and disinfecting
probes.
■ Inspect the housing, strain relief, lens and seal for damage, and check for
WARNING any functional problem after cleaning and disinfecting the probe.
▌ Information of Detergent, Disinfectant, and Ultrasound Gel

■ Classification of Disinfectants
To maintain the performance of ultrasound probes, proper maintenance is required.
As ultrasound probes are classified into critical, semi-critical, or non-critical devices based
on the standards of FDA guidance*, proper disinfection, cleaning or sterilization methods
for that classification should be used.
Classification
Contact Area Application Probe Level Selection

Biopsy
A biopsy is an examination method that surgically extracts tissue from the patient for
examination. The probe and the biopsy kit are used together when conducting a biopsy with the
ultrasonographic image scanner.
The ultrasound system shows the needle, which penetrates through the skin surface and veins,
along with the examination location, minimizing the risk to the patient.
Biopsy Kit Components

The biopsy kit consists of the adapter, needle guide and needle. The components vary
depending on the probe type.
[Figure 5.5 Biopsy Kit Components]
– Adapter: Secures the needle guide to the probe tightly.

– Needle Guide: Guides the angle (direction) of the needle so that it can reach the examination
location accurately. It also secures the needle so that the needle is not loose.
– Needle: This is the needle that is inserted into the patient’s body. Biopsy kits supplied by
Samsung Medison do not include needles.
– Sheath: Prevents the probe and adapter from getting soiled by any unwanted substances
during the examination (blood and other bodily fluids).
– Ultrasound Gel: The space between the probe and the sheath is filled with the ultrasound gel
to obtain images of the best quality.
Using the Biopsy Kit
■ Only use the needles approved by the country’s government.

■ Verify the condition of the biopsy needle before use. Do not use a bent biopsy
needle.
WARNING
■ The biopsy needle may bend during tissue penetration. The precise location
of the needle must be checked by monitoring the echo generated from the
needle.
■ Never use the biopsy kit to biopsy prostate tissue.
▌ Before Using Biopsy Kit
■ Do not attempt to use the biopsy until you read the instructions for installing
the sheath and verifying alignment of the needle guide.
■ Always ensure that the probe and the needle guide are secured on both the
WARNING left and the right.
■ Do not use in IVF, CVS, or PUBS procedures.
Ultrasonographic scanning using the biopsy kit must be conducted by medical doctors or
experienced medical staff with appropriate qualifications. Always, without fail, verify all safety
procedures and disinfection.
Other brands may not properly fit Samsung Medison probes. Use only Samsung Medison -
approved biopsy kits. Improper installation may result in patient discomfort.
Inspect all components. Ensure that the biopsy kit you are using is the correct one for the
probe, the system, and system software.
▌ Biopsy Procedure
The system generates a needle guideline through the displayed real-time ultrasound images
to indicate the anticipated path of the needle. You can use this guideline to ensure that the
needle or instrument is following the correct path.
1. Ready the patient according to the procedure appropriate for the examination objectives.
2. Install the sheath and the biopsy kit.
3. Set the system controls for the biopsy procedure. If necessary, apply acoustic gel to the
patient.
4. Begin scanning the patient. Adjust the patient so that the location for examination fits into
the needle guideline on the screen.
5. Install the needle into the needle guide for use. Perform the puncture by sliding the
needle through the groove in the guide until the needle intercepts the target. To keep the
needle securely in the needle guide, press down on the top of the biopsy adapter with
your index finger.
6. When the examination location is reached, take the needle out of the needle guide.
7. Detach the needle guide, adapter and sheath from the probe.
8. Dispose of the components that are not designed for reuse.
▌ Needle Guide Alignment
■ The needle used for this alignment verification must not be used for the
actual procedure. Always use a new, sterile needle for each biopsy
procedure.
WARNING ■ To assist in accurate projection of the needle, use a straight, new needle for
each alignment procedure.
Alignment of the needle guide displayed on the system is for the purpose of verifying
whether the needle and the needle guide are properly installed. This must be done prior to
the biopsy examination. Contact Samsung Medison ‘s servicing department for service.
Reverberation or other tissue artifacts may produce false needle images, which can cause
confusion. Ensure that the needle path is along the guideline, and that you are not using a
false needle image to locate the needle.
1. Attach the biopsy kit.
2. Set the system depth for the procedure to be performed and select the Biopsy menu.
3. Immerse the probe into the water bath, and insert the needle into the needle guide.
4. Confirm that the needle image is on the needle guidelines. If so, the needle guide is
properly aligned.
5. If the needle image is out of the needle guideline, check the needle guide or the probe
adapter.
Assembling the Biopsy Kit
▌ Disposable Biopsy KIT

1. Place a Sheath up to the top of the probe’s handle.
2. Mount the biopsy adapter onto the probe. If the surface of probe is fluted, mount the
adapter in accordance with it.
3. Install the needle into the needle guide and start the exam.
▌ Reusable Biopsy KIT

1. Mount the biopsy adapter onto the probe.
2. Insert gel into the sheath. And cover the probe completely.
3. Install the needle guide onto the adapter.

4. Installing the Needle Guide Clip if it is included in the components.
5. Install the needle into the needle guide and start the exam.
TIP Using Multi Angle

Use the angle adjuster.
