Background Information
The audio subsystem consists of::
• the audio module (Figure 0.4). This is the intercom that sets on the operator’s console. The operator uses the audio module to
communicate with the patient and to control the operating modes (Table 0.1). One knob controls the loudness of the operator
listening to the patient and the second knob controls the loudness of the music.
Figure 0.4 – Audio Module Table 0.1 – Audio Operating Modes
• the ceiling speakers provide communication or music in the magnet room.
Achieva
• the headset and pneumatic extension (Figure 0.1). The patient wears the pneumatic headphones to reduce noise and to listen to
either the operator or to music.
• the front PICU (Figure 0.5). The front PICU has two audio controls.
o The talk button allows the operator to talk through the bore microphone to the headset on the patient. If the patient is
not wearing the headset the talk button provides no function.
o The volume control adjusts the loudness of the operator talking to the patient via the headset.
• the rear PICU (Figure 0.6). The rear PICU has a talk button performing the same function as the front PICU talk button.
Figure 0.5 – Front PICU Figure 0.6 – Rear PICU
Achieva
• the PICU-3 or physio box. This box is on the left side of the patient support under the horizontal couch top by the magnet
(Figure 0.7). The headset plugs into the PICU-3.
Figure 0.7 – PICU-3 Location
NOTE: In older systems the physiological gating sensors plugged into the physio box. On the Achieva systems the physio sensors
plug into the PICU. The “physio box” name is used only for historic purposes and does not accurately describe the function of the
PICU-3.
Achieva
• the audioswitch card in the backend box (Figure 0.8)

interfaces the other audio components.
• an optional music source (stereo equipment) provides
music.
The audio subsystem allows communication in three modes (Table

0.1):
• listen. The operator can listen to the patient. The patient
will communicate either by the microphone built into the
magnet bore or, if wearing the headset, via the headset
microphone.
• talk. The operator can talk to the patient either through the
ceiling speakers or via the headset. The operator can talk
from:
o the audio module at the operator’s console.

Figure 0.8 – Backend Box Cards
o the bore microphone in the magnet room providing
the patient is wearing the headset.
• music. The patient can listen to music via the ceiling
speakers or headset.

The Audio Subsystem Functional Diagram is attached to the end of this lab as a B-size (11 inch x 17 inch) drawing. The Audio
Subsystem Functional Diagram sheet 1 shows the audio paths. Sheet 2 shows the control signal paths.
Nine diagnostics assist in troubleshooting the audio subsystem.

• the audio module test checks the communication to and from the audio module and checks the audio module controls.
• the audioswitch card diagnostic tests the self-start of the audioswitch card’s microprocessor.
• the buzzer tests test the nurse call buzzer on the audioswitch card.
• the FEK tests checks the PICU audio function controls.
• the headset test checks the headset’s ability to make sound.
• the microphone test checks the ability of the bore microphone and the headset microphone to pickup sound.
• the patcom test tests the control links between the audioswitch card and the rest of the subsystem.
• the nurse call test checks the nurse call balloon, the buzzer, and the warning sound sent via the ceiling speakers and audio
module.
• the speakers test produces sound via the ceiling speakers.
Figure 0.9 lists the diagnostics and shows the portions of the subsystem tested. The diagnostics are run from the Field Service
Framework as are other diagnostics. Running the diagnostics is covered later in this lab assignment.

The nurse call allows the patient to get the attention of the operator. The nurse call consists of::
• the nurse call balloon (Figure 0.2).
• a pneumatically operated electrical switch at the end of the air tube opposite the balloon.
• a hardwired buzzer on the audioswitch card.
• a signal path to the workstation that requests the workstation create a warning sound.
When the patient squeezes the nurse call balloon the subsystem produces warning sounds from:
• the audio module and ceiling speakers or headset. The squeezing of the nurse call balloon causes an input to the audioswitch
card that produces a warning signal through the audio module. The warning sound also sounds from the ceiling speakers or, if
plugged in, the headset.
• a hardwired buzzer on the audioswitch card. This second sound source will work if the software fails.
The nurse call diagnostic checks the nurse call balloon, the buzzer, and the warning sound sent via the ceiling speakers and audio
module.

Achieva
Locate the RS232 fiber communication card (Figure 1.2).

1. Access the fiber communication card from the rear of the operator’s console.
2. Locate connector B1 & B2 connectors. These optical fibers connect to the PICU-3, i.e., the physio box, and carry the audio
control signals and scan start/stop signals.
3. The B5 & B6 optical fibers connect to the Remote Magnet Management Unit, or RMMU, and will be discussed in a
different lab exercise.
4. The B11 & B12 optical fibers connect to the programmable logic controller in the patient support and will be discussed in a
different lab exercise.
5. Locate the X2 connector that carries 8 RS-232 serial links between the host computer and the audioswitch card and the fiber
communication card.
Locate the front and rear PICUs (Figure

1.3 and Figure 1.4).
1. On the front PICU locate the
talk pushbutton. This allows
the operator to talk to the
patient using the bore
microphone as the input and Figure 1.3 – Front PICU Audio Controls
