Purpose
This manual provides information to assist service personnel in performing
maintenance, and repair procedures that may be required to support ZS3 Ultrasound
System (9.x).
The Mindray/Zonare ZS3 Ultrasound System is used for ultrasound evaluation of the
following applications: Opthalmic; Fetal; Abdominal (renal, GYN/Pelvic); Intra-operative
(abdominal, thoracic(cardiac), and vascular); Intraoperative (Neuro); Pediatric; Small
organ (thyroid, breast, testes, etc); Neonatal cephalic; Adult Cephalic/Transcranial; Trans-
rectal; Trans-vaginal; Trans-esoph.(non-Card); Musculoskeletal (Conventional);
Musculoskeletal (Superficial); Cardiac Adult; Cardiac Pediatric; Trans-esoph. (Cardiac);
Intra-cardiac; Peripheral vessel. Users include ultrasound imaging technicians
(sonographers) and physicians. Mindray/Zonare Ultrasound Imaging Systems may be
used in a hospital (e.g., imaging laboratory, emergency room, patient bedside, and
operating room), medical clinic, physician’s office or a mobile imaging center. Please
refer to the ZS3 Instructions For Use for more information.

The ZS3 Ultrasound System consists of two major components: 1) Cart; and, 2)
Transducer(s). The Cart contains the software driven imaging electronics and user
interfaces (keyboard, monitor, handles, etc.). It houses the microprocessor, memory,
amplifiers and power supplies for the microprocessor. It sends electrical currents to and
receives electrical pulses from the compatible transducers. The Cart performs the
calculations involved in processing the data to produce the displayed ultrasound
images. The ZS3 Cart is available in two options: with or without Echocardiography. The
Echocardiography option allows users to perform advanced cardiac and intracardiac
imaging and related functions beyond what is available without the echocardiography
option.

Included with the system are one or more Mindray/Zonare Curvilinear, Endocavity,
Linear, or Phased array transducers allowing for many clinical applications. Accessories
include, but are not limited to the Mindray/Zonare ZPAK Battery and off-the-shelf
components: bar code reader, foot pedal, printers, biopsy guides, ECG cables and a
wireless Ethernet interface. Case studies can be stored to USB memory stick, and other

might interrupt signal flow through the connection. Be sure to check pins
before connecting transducer to the Mindray/Zonare ultrasound system. If
pins are bent, broken, or missing, do not use the transducer and call
Mindray/Zonare Technical Support.
• Immediately replace a transducer that exhibits any damage symptoms.
• Before introducing the probe, do not rub or spray the tip of the probe with an
anesthetic agent.
• Avoid forceful manipulations and excessive force in using the probe that could
result in patient injury.
• Withdraw the probe only with the deflection control in the unlock mode and
with the distal end of the probe straight.
• The use of a bite guard is mandatory. Failure to use the bite guard may result
in damage to the probe, which could result in a safety hazard. Damage to the
probe due to biting is not covered by the probe's warranty.
• Check if the maximum deflection of the tip is 90° to 120° upward, 60° to 90°
downwards and 30° to 45° left/right. If the deflection shows an unwanted
amount of free play or exceeds the maximal deflection angles given above,
do not use the probe. Contact the service organization to re-adjust the
steering of the probe. In this way, the risk of "buckling" or "U-turning" of the
probe in the esophagus is minimized.
• Avoid damage to the probe by allowing nothing to protrude beyond the case
when closing the lid.
• Prior to cleaning any device, turn off the system and disconnect power cord
from AC power source to avoid electrical shock.
• Always use protective eyewear and clothing when cleaning or disinfecting the
transducers.

ZS3 Service Manual Page 18 of 296


• Do not allow the disinfectant to come in contact with metal surfaces
(transducer connector). Use a soft cloth and warm soapy water to remove any
disinfectant that remains on metal surfaces.
• Keep the control handle and transducer connector out of any cleaning or
disinfection solutions. The control handle and cable may be cleaned with a
damp cloth, but only the distal end of the probe up to the 100cm marker on
the P8-3 TEE and 70cm marker on the P8-3m TEE shaft may be placed into
a disinfection solution.
• Do not use other disinfection methods like Iodine, Steam, Heat or Ethylene
Oxide.
• When servicing the ZS3 System, always be sure to turn the circuit breaker to
the OFF position.

Precautions
• Transducers are individually licensed according to system configuration. Only
the following transducers are available without an advanced feature
configuration: L30-8, P7-3c, C12-4lp, C4-1, C6-2, C6-1, C9-3, C9-3sp, C8-3
3D, C10-3, C18-85, E9-3 3D, E9-3, E9-4, L8-3, L10-5, L14-5w, L14-5sp, L20-
5, P4-1c, P8-3TEE and P8-3mTEE. The A2CW and A5CW transducers are
enabled if the system is configured with "CW Enabled", and can be used
under either the Echocardiology (optional) or the Advanced Vascular Imaging
(mandate) mode. Attempting to use any other transducers will result in an
error message.
• Be aware of the potential hazards associated with the environment where the
ultrasound systems will be used. The systems and/or the external equipment
can be damaged if signal levels are not appropriate. If peripheral equipment
not specifically authorized by Mindray/Zonare is to be connected to the
system, it must meet all applicable electrical safety standards that apply to the
system in order to maintain Mindray/Zonare’s safety integrity. Any equipment
not supplied by Mindray/Zonare must be approved by Mindray/Zonare. Use of
non-Mindray/Zonare-approved equipment may result in an unsafe condition,
impair operation of the ultrasound system, impair diagnostic capabilities, and
void your warranty or service contract coverage.
• Mindray/Zonare transducers have a specific range of acceptable application
use. Users are advised to restrict each transducer’s use to those applications.
Excessive bending, twisting, pulling, dragging, or compression of transducer
cables may cause failure or intermittent operation of the system. Avoid rolling
the cart wheels over cables. Use of cable hooks is recommended to minimize
chance of damage to cables.
• If a transducer that has not been approved and licensed for use with the
ultrasound system to which it is connected, or if a licensed transducer is not
properly connected, the corresponding transducer identification data will not
display on the LCD Display. Imaging will be disabled. Resolve this issue
before continuing use.

ZS3 Service Manual Page 19 of 296


• The ultrasound system and/or the transducer could be damaged if a non-
approved transducer is connected.
• Improper cleaning or disinfection of patient applied parts may cause
permanent damage. Carefully review the manufacturer’s directions for any
component used with Mindray/Zonare ultrasound systems. MINDRAY
assumes no liability with respect to single-use devices that are reused,
reprocessed, or resterilized and makes no warranties, expressed or implied
(including the warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use),
with respect to such devices.
• Use of peripherals or other equipment not provided by Mindray/Zonare may
result in system damage or degraded performance. Carefully review the
labeling of any such equipment before connecting to the Mindray/Zonare
system.
• Improper setting of imaging controls may obscure diagnostically valuable
information in the display. The factory default preset maps were preselected
as appropriate for most imaging circumstances. Improper user configuration
of custom presets may obscure diagnostically valuable information.
• Mindray/Zonare ultrasound systems are manufactured in compliance with
existing electromagnetic immunity (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) requirements. Use of the systems in the presence of an
electromagnetic field can cause degradation of the ultrasound image.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD), or static shock, is a naturally occurring
phenomenon. ESD is common in low humidity, which can be caused by
heating or air conditioning. ESD shock occurs when electrical energy is
discharged from one body, to a differently charged body. To lessen the
occurrence of ESD, use antistatic spray on carpets and flooring, and antistatic
mats.
• To minimize potential ESD damage and electrical contact contamination,
avoid touching the metal contacts for the transducer connections, at both the
ZS3 port and the transducer connector.
• If the ZS3 System has been moved between environments with extremes of
temperature and/or humidity, allow the ZS3 System to rest for at least 30
minutes in a controlled environment before using.
• Do not use the ultrasound system if any error message displays on the
screen.
• Do not block airflow to any ventilation holes on the system.
• Do not submerge the transducer past the points indicated in ‘Mindray/Zonare
Transducers Cleaning and Disinfection’.
• Do not spill liquid on the systems or transducers.
• Using a non-recommended cleaning or disinfectant solution, incorrect solution
strength, or immersing the transducer deeper or longer than indicated can
damage the transducer. Damages linked to the use of disapproved chemicals
are not covered under product warranty or service contract.
• The use of non-shielded cables may result in increased emissions and
decreased immunity to external signals
• Operating the systems in the presence of external electromagnetic fields can
degrade the quality of the ultrasound image. High-frequency devices, such as

ZS3 Service Manual Page 20 of 296


electro-surgical devices, can produce image artifacts. If required, a review of
the local electromagnetic environment may be required to minimize the
sources of external noise generators.
• The use of non-Mindray/Zonare approved cables and accessories may result
in increased radiated emissions as well as decreased immunity to external
signal fields.
• Before beginning to image a new patient, be sure to conclude any in-progress
patient exam by pressing the New Patient key. Failure to do so will result in
any subsequent storing of images being mistakenly written to the previous
patient exam directory.
• Some components or devices such as transducer covers used with
Mindray/Zonare systems are for single-patient use only. Reuse, reprocessing,
or re-sterilization of these devices may compromise their structural integrity.
• Any image sets stored on the system, which are not identified by patient
name and number, will be stored with a unique number based off of the
system ID.
• Exercise care in adjusting all settings to avoid obscuring low-level signals that
may have diagnostic value. Improper settings can seriously degrade image
quality.
• Do not touch exposed metal of transducer connector.
• Validate all entries in the Measurement Summary.
• Ultrasound imaging capabilities can vary from patient to patient. Ultrasound
should be used as one component in a comprehensive diagnostic plan.
• Never leave a probe in the disinfection solution for more than the specific time
by the disinfection manufacturer. Please refer to the instructions for use that
came with the disinfectant for minimal required exposure times. Do not forget
to rinse the probe directly after disinfection.
• Only use water-soluble acoustic coupling gel. Other coupling gels can cause
probe damage.
• Long-term exposure to ultrasound should be minimized. Although there have
been no confirmed adverse effects produced by diagnostic levels of
ultrasound, unnecessary patient exposure to ultrasound energy should be
avoided, especially in the Doppler mode.
• Use of a non-compatible USB Memory Stick may result in file corruption or
long file transfer times. Please confirm proper operation of any memory stick
prior to attempting to use for clinical data.
• Make sure the ZS3 System has fully completed downloading upgrades,
importing/exporting, or collecting log data to the USB Memory Stick before
removing it from the ZS3 System. Failure to do so will result in loss of data.
• Review the ZS3 DICOM conformance statement before integrating with any
PACS system.
• Validate Structured Report export prior to clinical use.
• Use-time from the optional ZS3 battery pack will vary depending on the
system usage and battery conditioning. Ensure the battery is adequately
charged before starting a procedure without AC main power.
• Export patient studies in a timely manner. Do not use the system storage as
the sole location of patient studies for an extended period of time.

ZS3 Service Manual Page 21 of 296


• Total Recall Data (TRI) should not be relied on for primary storage of
diagnostic data. Use of TRI across software versions is not guaranteed.
• The system is not indicated for differentiation between malignant and benign
breast lesions.

Precautions – USB Memory Stick


USB Memory Sticks that are purchased from outside sources (besides
Mindray/Zonare) may not be compatible for use with the system.
Precautions – TEE Transducer
• TEE: Perform an electrical leakage test prior to each use of the transducer.
See the TEE Maintenance Guide or the TEE Leakage Test Quick Reference
Guide for details.
• TEE: Examine the transducer prior to each use. See the TEE Maintenance
Guide or the TEE Quick Reference Guide for details.
• TEE: Clean and disinfect after each use.
• TEE: Always use a bite guard.
• TEE: Always use single-use probe sheath.
• TEE: Ensure articulation locks are disengaged and straighten mechanism
during device insertion or extraction from patient.
• TEE: Remove the transducer from the patient prior to defibrillation.
• TEE: Do not store the disinfected transducer in the carrying case. Only use
the case for transportation.
• TEE transducer is a delicate medical instrument, handle with care.
• The multiplane TEE probe is a precision instrument, which must be handled
with care. It may be damaged when dropped or abused. In particular, do not
allow the ultrasonic window in the tip to come into contact with a sharp object.
Do not touch this window unnecessarily. Never exert force onto the acoustic
window.
• The transducer connector is not watertight, and should always be kept dry.
The control handle, although spray-watertight, should not be immersed.
• This equipment contains no operator serviceable components. To prevent
electric shock, do not remove any covers or panels.
• Never manually deflect the distal tip of the probe; use only the deflection
control wheels.
• Do not kink, tightly coil, or apply excessive force on the probe cable or shaft.
Insulation failure may result.
• Under normal conditions at full acoustic power the temperature of the tip does
not exceed 42.7°C. Be sure to check at least monthly that the temperature
increase of the tip is within limits:
− Connect the probe to the Ultrasound system.
− Adjust the acoustic power to the highest value possible.
− Select Color Doppler mode.
− Wait for 2 minutes.
− Feel at the distal end of the probe if there is a temperature increase that
could be harmful for the patient.

ZS3 Service Manual Page 22 of 296


• When a brush is used for cleaning the transducer, use only a soft brush;
coarse/stiff-bristle brushes may cause transducer damage.
• Keep the control handle and transducer connector out of any cleaning or
disinfection solutions. The control handle and cable may be cleaned with a
damp cloth, but only the distal end of the probe up to the 100cm (for adult)/70
cm (for pediatric) marker on the shaft may be placed into a disinfection
solution.
• During immersion disinfection, never immerse the transducers longer than the
specific time recommended by the disinfection manufacturer. Damage may
occur to the transducer housing and/or components if disinfection times
exceed these recommended limits.

Precautions – Panoramic Imaging


• Measurements on a panoramic image are limited in accuracy by the acquisition
of the image by the user.
• Measurements out of plane are potentially less accurate.
• A good B Mode/2D image is important for a high-quality panoramic image.

Precautions – 3D/4D Imaging


• 3D: Measurements out of plane are potentially less accurate due to movement of
tissue.
• A good B Mode/2D image is important for a high-quality 3D/4D image.

Precautions - WIRELESS
• WIRELESS: The Mindray/Zonare Wireless option device is an RF Receiver and
Transmitter, operating using industry standard 802.11 b/g protocols. Use of the
wireless option, in the presence of other high energy RF radiating devices may
interfere with the transmission of data to the network interfaces.
• WIRELESS: The Mindray/Zonare Wireless option device supports several
industry standard security protocols and should be enabled to reduce the chance
of patient data, transmitted over the wireless interface from the possible
undesired interception of the data.
• WIRELESS: Data transmission and reception rates are limited to by the
bandwidth of the user’s network infrastructure. A Quality of Service (QOS) level
is determined by the number of users on the network, the data being transferred
by the users, and distance of the Mindray/Zonare system to the wireless access
point and other factors.

Electrical Safety

ZS3 Service Manual Page 23 of 296


• Mindray/Zonare systems meet IEC 60601-1, Class I powered equipment
requirements.
• The ZS3 ultrasound system complies with the applicable medical equipment
requirements published in the European Norm (EN) and International
Electronics Consortium (IEC) Harmonized Standards.
• The transducers, when used with the ZS3 system, are certified to be in
compliance with IEC 60601-1 as Type BF or Type CF applied patient parts.
Each transducer or port is labeled accordingly.

Contrast Imaging
Cardiac rhythm disturbances during perfusion studies using gas ultrasound contrast
agents have been observed in the diagnostic range of MI values. See the Instructions
For Use that came with contrast agent being used for details.
Medical Ultrasound Safety - General
Anyone using Mindray/Zonare ultrasound systems for human exams of any kind should
thoroughly understand the implications of such use. The American Institute of
Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) has published a document titled Medical Ultrasound
Safety (AIUM 1994). ALARA is an abbreviation for the principle of prudent use of
diagnostic ultrasound by obtaining the diagnostic information at a power output that is
as low as reasonably achievable.
Diagnostic ultrasound is a technique-dependent imaging modality. To obtain the best
possible patient care from any ultrasound equipment, the system must be operated by
personnel trained in ultrasound image acquisition and interpretation. Users must
become familiar with each of their imaging systems.
• Always make sure appropriate transducer is used for study being performed
• Always make sure active preset is appropriate for study being performed
• Know how to recognize acoustic artifacts in image
• Consult AIUM recommended protocols & equipment specifications

Wireless Network Equipment - Setup


Mindray/Zonare supports wireless connectivity using the Quatech (brand)
AirborneDirect (model) Wireless Ethernet Bridge (supported model is the ABDN-ER-

ZS3 Service Manual Page 117 of 296


DP551U. This is a plug-and-play wireless networking solution that is compatible with all
Mindray/Zonare ultrasound systems that support Ethernet connectivity. A special power
cable, however, is required to supply power to the Quatech AirborneDirect device
from a USB port on the Mindray/Zonare system, for portable operations.

The Quatech AirborneDirect Wireless Ethernet Bridge supports WiFi 802.11b/g/n


wireless standards and connects to the Mindray/Zonare system through a 10 Base-T
network interface. This device supports WEP (64/128 bit) and WPA encryption
standards, PEAP and LEAP for network authentication (LEAP requires that Quatech
device be configured with a static 128 bit key; this is known as "migration mode" and is
not recommended for long term use due to the static WEP key requirement). Before
using it with the Mindray/Zonare system, the Quatech AirborneDirect device must be
preconfigured for the user's networking environment – SSID, channel, encryption, and
correct addressing scheme (DHCP/static).

Static IP addressing is required in order to be able to display the additional wireless


status. When power is applied to a correctly configured Quatech AirborneDirect
device that is connected to the Ethernet port on the Mindray/Zonare system, it will
require 30 to 60 seconds to detect and then associate with the user's wireless network.
Once a wireless network connection is established, the Mindray/Zonare system will
reflect the connection state by showing the network ICON on screen, in an uncrossed
state.

The configuration of the Wireless Bridge is done on the Network configuration screen.
The source information required for wireless device configuration on the ZS3, is the
static IP Address assigned (by the IT Administrator at the install site) to the Quatech
AirborneDirect device and the Username and Password for the CLI interface (default
is dpac for both).

For assistance with the configuration of the local network settings on the ZS3, to
support that aspect of a wireless network installation, contact Mindray/Zonare Technical
Support.

ZS3 Service Manual Page 184 of 296


Transducer Imaging Performance Test

Test Requirements:
1. Display: set the contrast and brightness at the clinical application value (or the
default status)
2. Operation environment: to enable proper on-screen image evaluation on the LCD
display of the ultrasound system, ambient lighting should be maintained at a
moderate level during the performance of this procedure. The lighting level should
be compatible with traditional ultrasound lab environments..
3. Electrical requirement: the transducer imaging and imaging performance testing
shall be performed in an environment that is free of significant interference noise
sources for the ultrasound product. The environment includes avoiding use of AC
power outlets on lines shared by other electronic equipment in the vicinity.
4. Scanning techniques: put the probe on the acoustic window of the phantom, without
spacing or pressing.
NOTE: 1. The phantom images here are for reference only.
2. Refer to "Appendix A Phantom Usage Illustration". Phantom
KS107BD is a low frequency phantom and used when probe focus
frequency is less than 4MHZ; Phantom KS107BG is a high
frequency phantom and used when probe focus frequency is more
than 5MHZ.
3. Other quality phantom, such as Gammex 403 GS LE Precision
Multi-Purpose Phantom can also be used. Refer to the phantom’s
user manual for details.

1. Image Uniformity Verification


Image Uniformity
The displayed image should be uniform and should not present any artifacts or
shadows.

Method of Testing
The phantom contains pin targets and objects in different shapes. While scanning
the phantom, those objects should be displaced clearly on a black background in
the ultrasound image. There should not be any speckles, axial or lateral streaks.

Procedure:
1.1. Select a transducer for verification.
1.2. Select an Exam Type and Preset type.
1.3. Turn off Compounding (“Compounding Off”).

ZS3 Service Manual Page 185 of 296


1.4. Turn off Harmonics (“TH”).
1.5. Adjust TGC sliders, if available, to a straight line in the middle.
1.6. Scan the phantom and position the vertical pin targets in the center of the image.
1.7. Check if the image is displayed in a uniform gray scale and no dark streaks
(drop-outs) are displayed.

2. Depth of Penetration Verification


Depth of Penetration
The maximum depth of penetration should remain constant over time. Variation
indicates performance degradation.

Method of Testing
The maximum sensitivity or depth of penetration is determined by measuring the
depth in the phantom at which the usable echo information in the far field first
disappears.

Procedure:
1.1. Select a transducer for verification.

ZS3 Service Manual Page 186 of 296


1.2. Select an Exam Type and Preset type.
1.3. Turn off Compounding (“Compounding Off”).
1.4. Turn off Harmonics (“TH”).
1.5. Using the Frequency paddle switch, select the lowest frequency available.
1.6. Using the Depth control, set the Depth to the maximum value.
1.7. Scan the phantom, positioning the vertical pin targets in the center of the image.
1.8. Press the Freeze key to stop imaging.
1.9. Press the Optimize key to optimize tissue gain levels.
1.10. Using the targets in the ultrasound phantom, determine the Penetration
Depth (mm), where the target pins in the far field first disappear, for the selected
transducer.

3. Geometric Accuracy Verification


Geometric Accuracy
Geometric accuracy is the closeness of a measurement on the ultrasound machine
to its true value.

Method of Testing
The phantom contains pin targets with fixed spacing on horizontal and vertical lines.
The distance between 2 pin targets can be measured by the ultrasound machine
and compared to the actual value to determine the geometric accuracy.

Procedure:
2.1. Select a transducer for verification.
2.2. Select an Exam Type and Preset type.
2.3. Turn off Compounding (“Compounding Off”).
2.4. Turn off Harmonics (“TH”).
2.5. Using the Frequency paddle switch, select the highest frequency available.
2.6. Scan the phantom and adjust the depth by using the Depth control to position
the vertical and horizontal pin targets in the center of the image.
2.7. Press the Freeze key to stop imaging.
2.8. Press the Optimize key to optimize tissue gain levels.
2.9. Press the Measure/Caliper key to display the cursor and measure the distance
between 2 target pins on the horizontal and lateral target lines respectively.

Battery Performance – Charge Times -
Reconditioning
The following information is intended to provide an overview on the battery-driven
system operation times and charging intervals for the Z-PAK battery pack. There are a
number of variables that impact both the operating time and charge time, that must be
taken into consideration when anticipating the performance of a specific battery.
Cart battery packs are "consumable" items, and as such should be expected to have a
gradual drop-off in performance (system operating time) over their life span. The
system operating time numbers listed in this document are in reference to a "new"
(optimum) battery.
Charging times will be significantly impacted by the temperature of the battery pack at
the time of the start of the charging cycle. The intelligent PIC device that manages the
charging process will disable, or reduce the rate of charge, as dictated by the battery
pack's current temperature.
The total time that will be required for a battery to reach a full state of charge is
impacted by a number of variables. These include:
1) Operating state of system (transducer in use: HV active)
2) Temperature of battery pack
3) Initial first-charge for Z-PAK:

Cart Battery Pack


Performance:
Typical system operation interval (on full charge): .......................... up to 1.5 Hours
Charging:
Rapid Charge Rate (5A):................................................................. 5.0 hours (total)
Step #1: .......................................................................................... 3.0 hours – main
charge
Step #2: .......................................................................................... 2.0 hours – final
top-off charge

Trickle-Charge Rate (i.e., hot battery state) .................................... 16.0 Hours (worst-
case)
Recondition & Full Charge State:
Optimum (battery in cool state, and initial charge level near full) .... 8.0 Hours (total)

ZS3 Service Manual Page 217 of 296


Step #1: .......................................................................................... 0 to 5 hours - to
charge to full
Step #2: .......................................................................................... 2-3 hours - to fully
discharge
Step #3: .......................................................................................... 4-6 hours - to fully
recharge

Worst-case (battery in hot state, and initial charge level near zero) 14.0 Hours

Appendix B Electrical Safety
Inspection
The following electrical safety tests are recommended as part of a comprehensive preventive
maintenance program. They are a proven means of detecting abnormalities that, if undetected,
could prove dangerous to either the patient or the operator. Additional tests may be required
according to local regulations.

All tests can be performed using commercially available safety analyzer test
equipment. These procedures assume the use of a 601PROXL International Safety
Analyzer or equivalent safety analyzer. Other popular testers complying with IEC
60601-1 used in Europe such as Fluke, Metron, or Gerb may require modifications to
the procedure. Follow the instructions of the analyzer manufacturer.

The consistent use of a safety analyzer as a routine step in closing a repair or upgrade
is emphasized as a mandatory step if an approved agency status is to be maintained.
The safety analyzer also proves to be an excellent troubleshooting tool to detect
abnormalities of line voltage and grounding, as well as total current loads.
