1-4 Cautions on Safety

1 INTRODUCTION
1.5 Acoustic Output and Patient Safety
Thermal Index (TI)

TI is determinate by the ratio of the total acoustic power to the acoustic power required to raise the
tissue temperature by 1C. In addition, and due to the fact the temperature increases greatly different
1
according to tissue structures, three kinds of TI are distinguished: TIS (Soft-tissue Thermal Index),
TIB (Bone Thermal Index) and TIC (Cranial-bone thermal Index).
Although the output power is automatically controlled for the selected applications, high TI values
should be kept to a minium or avoided in Obstetric applications. WFUMB (World Federation for Ul-
trasound in Medicine and Biology) guidelines state that a temperature increase of 4C for 5 minutes
or more should be considered as potentially hazardous to embryonic and fetal tissue.
Mechanical Index (MI)

The mechanical bioeffects are the result of compression and decompression of insonated tissues
with the formation of micro bubbles that may be referred as cavitations.
MI is an index that shows the possibility of appearing cavitations based on acoustic pressure. It is
important to keep the MI value low when both gases and soft tissues are encountered, in cases like
lung exposure in cardiac scanning or bowel gas in abdominal scanning.
Display of TI and MI values

TI and MI values are displayed in real time in the lower left part of the screen. The operator should
monitor these index values during examinations and ensure that exposure time and output values
are maintained at the minimal amounts needed for effective diagnosis.
The TI and MI values are displayed in increments of 0.2. Index values below 0.4 are displayed by the
system as <0.4. To optimize ALARA, index values that are equal or higher than 0.4, are displayed
even if the maximal index value does not exceed 1.0.
Maximum Ultrasound Output
The UF-760AG meets FDA Track 3 requirements and the maximum ultrasound output with real time
displayed of TI and MI indexes is limited as follows:
Intended Use ISPTA.3 MI
2
Vascular; Cardiac; Abdominal and Ob/Gyn ap- 720 mW/cm 1.9
plications
Ophthalmic application is not supported by UF-760AG.

` ISPTA.3: Spatial peak time average intensity with consideration given to attenuation.
ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable)

This principle mandates that ultrasound output power and exposure time are kept to the minimum
required without compromising diagnostic capability or resolution. While there have been no reported
incidents of serious bioeffects in humans for diagnostic ultrasound levels, it is known that an increase
of tissue temperature may occur and that can lead to possible cavitations.

Warning:
` Always keep probes and electrodes disinfected. To prevent the spread of diseases, probes
should be cleaned and disinfected immediately after each use. If the probe used is not
cleaned during some time, mucus or blood attached to it start to harden, making it difficult to
be cleaned after.

6.3 Product recycling and disposal

Before disposal of the system, you should remove the electronic boards, screen and batteries and
dispose of them in an appropriate container, according to local regulations or recycle them wherever
possible.
UF-760AG bears the Crossed-out dustbin symbol. This symbol means that the system
contains electric and electronic equipment (EEE). So, it should not be put down in the
household refuse.
It must be given to a centre of collection suitable for the treatment, the valorization and
the recycling of wastes of EEE or brought back at a distributor.
By respecting this principle, you make a gesture for the environment and you contribute to the safe-
guarding of natural resources and the protection of human health.
