prevent hands or clothing from coming into direct contact with them. Wash hands or
eyes immediately in case of any contamination by disinfectants.
●● Dispose of cleaners, disinfectants or solutions in accordance with local standards or
regulations.
1.3 Acoustic Power Principle
●● Perform ultrasound procedures prudently under the guidance of the ALARA (as low
! as reasonably achievable) principle. Only expose the patient to the lowest practical
transmit power levels in the shortest possible period to achieve a satisfactory
diagnosis.
●● Freeze the image at any time if you are not operating the system for a long period of
time.
●● Do not scan the same part of an patient continuously or expose the patient to
prolonged scanning. Doing so may harm the patient.
●● Do not expose the fetus to prolonged scanning in the Doppler mode.
●● Although the output power is automatically controlled for the selected applications,
high TI values should be kept to a minimum or avoided in obstetric applications.
●● You should be familiar with the performances and operations of the system, observe
the ultrasound output parameters on the screen at all times.
Service Manual 5
1 Safety
1.3.1 Biological Safety

Diagnostic ultrasound is recognized as being safe, but the possibility of biological effects
exists when using it in high exposure levels and long exposure times. Thus ultrasound
should be used in a prudent manner to provide medical benefit to the patient.
1.3.2 ALARA
It is required to practice ALARA when using ultrasound energy. Practicing ALARA
ensures that the total energy level is controlled below a low enough level at which
bioeffects are not generated while diagnostic information is being accumulated. The total
energy is controlled by output intensity and total radiation time. The output intensity
necessary for examinations differs depending on the patient and the clinical case.
Not all examinations can be performed with an extremely low level of acoustic energy.
Controlling the acoustic level at an extremely low level leads to low-quality images or
insufficient Doppler signals, adversely affecting the reliability of the diagnosis. However,
increasing the acoustic power more than necessary does not always contribute to an
increase in quality of information required for diagnosis, rather increasing the risk of
generating bioeffects.
The operator must take responsibility for the safety of patients and utilize ultrasound
deliberately. Deliberate use of ultrasound means that output power of ultrasound must be
selected based on ALARA. Additional information regarding the concept of ALARA and
the possible bioeffects of Ultrasound is available in a document from the AIUM (American
Institute of Ultrasound Medicine) title “Medical Ultrasound Safety”.
1.3.3 Mechanical and Thermal Indices

The display of the system consists of two parts: Thermal Index (TI) and Mechanical Index
(MI).
■ MI/TI Explanation
In October 1987, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) ratified a

report prepared by its Bioeffects Committee (Bioeffects Considerations for the Safety
of Diagnostic Ultrasound, J Ultrasound Med.,Sept. 1988: Vol. 7, No. 9 Supplement),
sometimes referred to as the StoweReport, which reviewed available data on possible
effects of ultrasound exposure. Another report “Bioeffects and Safety of Diagnostic
Ultrasound” dated January28, 1993, provides more current information.
6 Service Manual
1 Safety
●● Mechanical Index (MI)

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 mechanical bioeffects 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. There is no specific MI value that
means that a mechanical effect is actually occurring. The MI should be used as a
guide for implementing the ALARA principle.
●● Thermal Index (TI)
The TI value informs the operator about the conditions that might lead to an increase
in temperature at the surface of the body, within the body tissue, or at the point of
focus of the ultrasound beam on bone. That is, the TI value informs the operator about
the potential temperature rise in body tissue. It is an estimate of temperature increase
in body tissue with specific properties. The actual amount of any temperature rise is
influenced by factors such as tissue type, vascularity, mode of operation and others.
The TI value should be used as a guide for implementing the ALARA principle.
Depending on the examination and type of tissue involved, TI could be one of three
types:
−− Soft Tissue Thermal Index (TIS) is used when imaging soft tissue only, it provides
an estimate of potential temperature rise in soft tissue.
−− Bone Thermal Index (TIB) is used when bone is near the focus of the image as in
the third cropester OB examination, it provides an estimate of potential temperature
rise in the bone or adjacent soft tissue.
−− Cranial Bone Thermal Index (TIC) is used when bone is near the skin surface as in
transcranial examination, it provides an estimate of potential temperature rise in the
bone or adjacent soft tissue.
■ MI/TI Display
TI and MI values are displayed in real time on the screen. The operator should observe
these index values during examinations and ensure that exposure time and output values
are maintained at the minimum amounts needed for effective diagnosis.
The MI and TI precision is 0.1.
1.3.4 Transducer Surface Temperature Limits

For probes intended for internal applications, e.g. the endocavitary probe or
transesophageal probe, the surface temperature of the probe may change by adjusting
system parameters.
Service Manual 7
1 Safety
The maximum surface temperature of the endocavitary probes is 43°C. To protect the
patient against the harm of excessive temperature, the probe stops working automatically
when its temperature reaches the limit. The surface temperature of the probe is displayed
on the screen.
TIP <28°C Transducer Tip Temperature

PAT 37°C Patient Temperature
1.3.5 Imaging Functions that Change Acoustic Output

The qualified operator may use the system controls to limit the ultrasound output and to
adjust the quality of the images. The operator should observe the acoustic output display
for possible effects.
There are three categories of system controls relative to output. They are controls that
have direct effect on the output, controls that indirectly control output and controls that are
receiver controls.
