Figure 6‐1: UF‐890AG System structure


The Ultrasound Module USMU890 consists in dedicated electronic modules used to produce and receive ul‐
trasound waves. Also, it is responsible for pre‐processing the ultrasound echo into B/M echo, PW or CW Dop‐
pler samples or CFM profiles.
The obtained results are then transmitted to the Host PC (PCU890) for real time display and storage.
The Host PC is built‐up as a standard FlexATX PC system with an i5 main processor and the built‐in standard
peripheral devices such as memory, Hard Disk, on‐board graphic, audio and LAN features.
The software application is running on the Host PC.

Overview 6‐1
Chapter 6 BLOCK DIAGRAMS

This includes both Linux Operating System and the ultrasound application software.
The user interface (Man Machine Interface) which is logically part of the Host PC is a separate unit called MMI
and groups both keyboard and screen.

6.2 Main Modules

6.2.1 Ultrasound Module (USMU890)


The ultrasound module includes all electronics required for transmission, reception and pre‐processing of ul‐
trasound related information.
This module is composed of:
• MB870E main board which contains the digital signal processing (USDSP), the real time controller (BeFo‐
Co), 4 digital beam formers (SeReCo) and the analog receiver stages.
The CW analog beam‐former (which is done by the 32 channel analog receiver for CW Doppler) and the
Doppler demodulation and sampling are integrated into MB870E.
• Four TXM16 modules which provides 2 times 64 transmitters.
Only a set of 64 transmitters can be used simultaneously.
• One XCBQE module which is the transducer switch box and allows to select one out of four electronic ar‐
ray transducers or one Doppler pencil probe.
The communication and data transport to the PC module runs through a IEEE1394 (Firewire) link.

6.2.2 Host PC (PCU890)


The Host PC module is built around a standard FlexATX PC module.
The PC module has daughter boards on the PCI/PCIe interface and provides the functional blocks such as par‐
allel / serial port, audio, FireWire and all connections to the internal Hard Disc and the peripheral devices over
USB, LAN or Monitor.
The host PC is composed of:
• A standard Flex ATX form factor PC system called PC_ATX including system memory, internal graphics,
network and USB functions.
• A minimum 60 GB SSD in mSATA form factor.
This storage device is attached to the PC through SATA. It contains both operating system and ultrasound
application.
• A minimum 500 GB HDD in 2.5" form factor.
Two discs are used in a RAID configuration.
These discs are attached to the PC through SATA. They contain the patient data storage.
• A PCI to IEEE1394 (FireWire) interface that provides the link to the ultrasound engine USMU890.
• A serial interface between the PC and the FLDSP inside USMU890 and the parallel port (which is used as
general purpose I/O port).
• An Intel HD Audio interface which is used for the internal speakers and for the audio out signal.
A microphone input line is also available.

7.2 Cleaning and Disinfection

INFO
• Do not use a disinfectant other than the specified disinfectant for cleaning of electrodes
and patient cable.
• Do not use any alcohol or thinner or other organic solvents when cleaning the equip‐
ment or probes or cables.
• Probes should be maintained by different methods. For cleaning and disinfec‐tion of
particular probes, refer to their respective operation manuals.
Operation panel
If the operation panel is dirty, wipe it with a clean and soft cloth.
Please, refer to Chapter 7.2.3 "Operation Panel" on page 7‐17.
Operation errors may occur if the TRACKBALL becomes dirty in particular. Please, refer to "Cleaning the Track‐
ball" on page 7‐17.
Screen
If the LCD surface is stained with finger‐prints or dust, screen visibility will be degraded.
 Clean the LCD surface with a clean and soft cloth carefully to prevent damage. Please, refer to Chapter
7.2.2 "Screen" on page 7‐17.
Patient cable and limb electrode
As to the electrode and patient cable, they should be always used clean.
 To clean them, please use a cotton or cloth which is moisturized with alcohol or glutaraldehyde disinfect
solution. After that, wipe off them with the soft cloth made of lint.
7
Power supply dust filter
Clogging of the filter of the power source causes an increasing of the temperature inside the equipment, thus
leading to a failure.
 Clear away the clogged dust, trash, etc. with the cleaner, etc. from outside.

7.2.1 Probes
To prevent the spread of disease, the probe should be cleaned and disinfected immediately after each use. If
the probe used is left not cleaned for some time, mucus or blood attached on it hardens, thus making it dif‐
ficult to be cleaned.
 Clean the probe after each use, by wiping off the gel with a soft cloth.
Gently wipe the probe with gauze dampened in neutral detergent or water.

The probe must be inspected, cleaned and disinfected before starting an examination.
Probes should be adequately cleaned and disinfected between patients.

Disinfecting

WARNING
• Unplug the probe before you start disinfecting.
• Never immerse the probe in liquid except for disinfecting.
High‐level disinfection is the required method of infection control for probes used in endocavity and transe‐
sophageal procedures, and to be used of a protective sheath during the exam.
High‐level of disinfection and the use of a sterile protective sheath is the required method of infection control
for probes used in biopsy procedures.
WARNING
• The probe is easily damaged by high temperature there fore do not perform auto clave
sterilization requiring high temperature or boiling.
• According to the manual of the each probe for the disinfection or the gaseous steriliza‐
tion. There are some probes that cannot do the gaseous sterilization.
• Do not immerse the probe in disinfection liquid for more than a specified time.
• Because ethylene oxide gas (EOG) sterilization is repeated, the probe is gradually dete‐
riorated. Stop the EOG sterilization in the minimum requirement.
For further details on probe disinfecting procedure and time in order to guarantee optimum performance,
please consult the manufacturer’s recommendations of the disinfection product.
For special applications and specific probes, please refer to the operation manual for these probes.
 To disinfect the probe proceed as follows:
 Probes must be adequately cleaned and disinfected before starting examinations to guarantee op‐
timum performance and prevent contamination.
 Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to prepare the disinfecting solution. 7
 Once you have cleaned the probe, place it in the solution for the length of time recommended by
the manufacturer.
 Remove the probe from the solution, rinse and then dry it.

Chapter 8 TROUBLESHOOTING

8.2.3 Errors
An error can be caused by hardware, software, transducer problem or user bad handling. All errors cause a
shut‐down of the system and require a re‐start. If an error persists it is not possible to use the system for safe‐
ty reasons.

INFO
• Read carefully the error number and text. When talking to the Fukuda Denshi’s after
sales representative, it is very important to indicate exactly the number of the error to
make a correct system diagnostics.
• Press on any key to acknowledge the message.
• Only one error box can appear on the screen.

Error Error message Error description


Number
1 Application crashed or blocked Description:
Application crashed or blocked. One or more process
crashed.
When it happens, in most of the cases, a system core
dump backtrace is generated transparently for the user.
This feature of UF‐890AG software will gathers data about
what is happening in the application when it crashes.
Such information helps service people and software engi‐
neers to quickly isolate the cause of a crash and then cor‐
rect it. Reporting crash data is a good way in which users
can help to improve the quality of the software. Participa‐
tion is not required but highly recommended. Then, the
user has the possibility to try to restart the application or 8
to shut‐down the system.
Before you shut‐down the system or you restart the appli‐
cation, UF‐890AG crash handler registers the crash infor‐
mations (if it exists) into a system log file to give the possi‐
bility to browse it later off‐line to see what happened pre‐
viously.
Possible cause:
Software problem.
Actions to be undertaken:
In case such a situation often occurred or persists, re‐in‐
stall the latest Software release (refer to Chapter C.4.6

IEC 60950 Standards or be marked with UR mark (UL registered) for the North American
market.
• Never connect additional peripherals directly to wall outlets
Never connect additional peripherals directly to wall outlets if there is no isolator to pro‐
vide galvanic isolation between the peripheral and the system. Use the outlets available
on the equipment or an isolation transformer in compliance with medical safety stan‐
dards and IEC 60601‐1 specifications. Wrong connections may compromise the electri‐
cal safety of the system. Fukuda Denshi will supply an isolation transformer compliant
with medical safety standards upon request.
• Never connect peripheral devices that have not been specified as being compatible
with the equipment in this manual
• The Multiple Socket Outlet of the equipment must only be used for supplying power to
peripheral devices listed in this manual.
Never use for any other purpose.
• Connecting any electrical equipment that has not been listed in this manual to the Mul‐
tiple Socket Outlet can result in reduced of safety.
• Never add an additional multiple socket outlet or extension cord to the existing one.
• The maximum total permitted load at the Multiple Socket Outlet is 300VA.
• Never connect the network (RJ‐45) directly to the system
Never connect the network (RJ‐45) directly to the system. Use a network isolator com‐
pliant with medical safety standards and IEC 60601‐1 specifications. Wrong connections

C.4 Software Upgrade

C.4.1 Introduction
This section explains how to upgrade your ultrasound device with the newest software version.
Installing the latest released software allows you to benefit from the newest improvements, settings and fea‐
tures.
Two different types of installation can be performed: you can simply update your unit (for example from ver‐
sion V01‐01 to version V01‐02), or completely re‐install it (as instance from V01‐01 to V02‐01).

The update, the fastest upgrade method, concerns only the small differences between the already installed
version and the new software and can consist in workflow improvements or bug corrections (please refer to
Chapter C.4 "Software Upgrade" on page C‐14 for further information).
On the other hand, a system re‐installation, or full installation, takes place if big improvements or new func‐
tionalities are available (please refer to Chapter C.4.6 "Full Software installation: Overview" on page C‐19 for
further information).

Any upgrade procedure can be performed using either a DVD or an USB stick.

D.5 How to replace an USMU890 internal module or cable

The Ultrasound Module USMU890 consists in dedicated electronic modules used to produce and receive ul‐
trasound waves. Also, it is responsible for pre‐processing the ultrasound echo into B/M echo, PW or CW Dop‐
pler samples or CFM profiles.
The obtained results are then transmitted to the Host PC (PCU890) for real time display and storage.
The ultrasound module includes all electronics required for transmission, reception and pre‐processing of ul‐
trasound related information.

This module is composed of:


• MB870E main board which contains the digital signal processing (USDSP), the real time controller (BeFo‐
Co), 4 digital beam formers (SeReCo) and the analog receiver stages.
The CW analog beam‐former (which is done by the 32 channel analog receiver for CW Doppler) and the
Doppler demodulation and sampling are integrated into MB870E.
• Four TXM16 modules which provides 2 times 64 transmitters.
Only a set of 64 transmitters can be used simultaneously.
• One XCBQE module which is the transducer switch box and allows to select one out of four electronic ar‐
ray transducers or one Doppler pencil probe.

E‐4 Maintenance Checklists


APPENDIX E: Maintenance and Inspection

E.3 Inspection Related to Safety


We recommend you to conduct an inspection related to safety as a means to check safety of the equipment.
Safety test standards specify testing method, measuring instruments and so forth. However, it is extremely
hard to conduct all the checks specified in standards on the field of medical care. Therefore, think that mea‐
surement is only to determine a rough criterion, when checks are made for maintenance and inspection. Cas‐
es of simple measurement of leakage current and of protective earth resistance are described below.
CAUTION
• If it is found during safety inspection that tolerances are exceeded, never use the sub‐
ject equipment, otherwise the patient may be exposed to danger.
Check of leakage current
Leakage current meters (electronic voltmeter, digital voltmeter), impedance for measurement, power supply
switching box, etc. are available as measuring instruments.

 Measuring instruments:
Impedance for measurement is needed as a leakage current measuring instrument. The following figure is a
typical composition of impedance for measurement.

R1 : 10kΩ ±5%
R2 : 1kΩ ±1%
R1 C1 : 0.015µF ±5%
V : Measuring instruments (voltmeter)

R2 C1
V 

Inpedance for measurement (indicated as = MD )

The leakage current can be obtained by measuring the voltage at both ends of this impedance for measure‐
ment.

A digital voltmeter is required to indicate the true effective value against composite waveform of frequency
band from DC to 1 MHz, and it is desirable that a voltmeter of the specified performance is used. But it is con‐
sidered that a digital voltmeter available on the market is appropriate because it is simply used for measure‐
ment to obtain a value that is a criterion for maintenance and inspection. However, it is necessary to check
the frequency band of the voltmeter used for measurement and to keep in mind that if leakage current of a
frequency that is outside of the said frequency band is present, it is not indicated by the voltmeter.
Methods for measurement of earth leakage current and of enclosure leakage current are briefly described
below.

Impedance for measurement is hereinafter expressed as MD .

Inspection Related to Safety E‐5


APPENDIX E: Maintenance and Inspection

Checking the earth leakage current (current that flows through the protective earth line)
A method using a power supply switching box and a method using a 2‐3P conversion adapter are available for
checking the earth leakage current.

 Measurement method:

 Take measurement at point B of the earth line (such as the earth line of the adapter) of the power
cable and point A of the dedicated earth terminal for medical‐use 3‐pin connector.
 Measurement can be taken either in the normal state or in the single failed state.
 Take measurement in the normal state with the polarity of the power supply switched. In case 2, it
is also possible to take simple measurement simply using a 2‐3P conversion adapter by changing the
polarity of connection to the connector.
 Measurement in the single failed state can also be taken with one power supply fuse removed. Mea‐
surement is taken in four modes in this case because polarity of the 2‐3P conversion adapter is
changed and measurement is also taken with another power supply fuse. Or, it is also possible to
prepare a 2P table tap and to take measurement with one blade only of the 2‐3P conversion adapter
inserted into the connector.

 Measurement method:

 Take measurement between point A of the dedicated earth terminal for medical‐use 3‐pin outlet
and point B that is an arbitrary point of the unit.
 Measurement in the normal state can be simply taken by the following method: Connect the earth
line of the 2‐3P conversion adapter to the dedicated earth terminal for medical‐use 3‐pin outlet and
change the polarity of the plug pins of the 2‐3P conversion adapter. An extremely small value (near‐
ly zero) is measured in the normal state.
 Take measurement in the single failed state by disconnecting the earth terminal for medical‐use 3‐
pin outlet and the earth line of the power cable (earth line of 2‐3P conversion adapter) on the equip‐
ment side and by switching the polarity of the plug pins of the 2‐3P conversion adapter.
 Criteria for checks:
In the measurement of leakage current, determine the maximum value of all the measured values
as the measured value. The maximum allowable values of earth leakage current and of touch cur‐
rent are indicated below. When conducting inspection, compare the measured values with mea‐
sured values taken during inspections in the past and assure that major differences are not ob‐
served.

Maximum allowable values of leakage current


Normal State Single failed state
Earth leakage current 5 mA or less 10 mA or less
Touch current 0.1 mA or less 0.5 mA or less

Measuring the protective earth resistance


Measurement of protective earth resistance is taken with AC current of 25A supplied to a test transformer
from a power supply, the no‐load voltage of which does not exceed 6V (specified in standards). However, it
is not easy to prepare such a measuring instrument, and therefore, a simple method is described below.

Inspection Related to Safety E‐7


APPENDIX E: Maintenance and Inspection

1. Simple measurement of protective earth resistance

 Measurement method:
 Method (1) is to measure the protective earth resistance of the equipment using AC current of
around 2A. Connect the power cable of the equipment to E1 and connect a metallic port (such as
potential equalization terminal) to E0. Make the cable connected to E0 short to avoid increase of
the contact resistance. Current of about 2A flows to the equipment. Measure the voltage (V1) be‐
tween points A and C and the voltage (V2) between points B and C using a digital voltmeter or the
like.
Since the current that flows is the same, the protective earth resistance to be obtained is as follows
from the relation between voltage ratio and resistance ratio:

R/3 = V2/V1 <=> R (protective earth resistance) = 3x V2/V1 (Ohm)


(It is sufficient if the measuring current is around 1A.)
 Criteria for checks:
The resistance value between an accessible conductive part and the protective earth resistance is
specified as 0.1 Ohm or less as indicated below. When measurement is taken at the ground plug of
the power cable in the state where the power cable is connected, the resistance should be 0.2 Ohm
or less including that of the protective earth line in the power cable.

Measured values of protective earth resistance

Between protective earth terminal and potential equalization termi‐ 0.1 Ohm or less
nal
Between protective earth terminal of power cable and potential 0.2 Ohm or less
equalization terminal

 Simple method of resistance measurement:


Since AC current is supplied for measurement of protective earth resistance of item (1) above, a
power supply transformer capable of supplying a current of a few amperes is required, and it is nec‐
essary to prepare a measuring jig.
If it is impossible to prepare such a transformer for measurement, take simple measurement of re‐
sistance as stated below. (Consider the result of measurement as a simple criterion in this case.)
Measure the resistance between an accessible conductive part (such as potential equalization ter‐
minal) and protective earth terminal, and assure that the resistance value is 0.1 Ohm or less.
Furthermore, when measurement is taken at the ground plug of the power cable in the state where

E‐8 Inspection Related to Safety


APPENDIX E: Maintenance and Inspection

the power cable is connected, the resistance should be 0.2 Ohm or less including that of the protec‐
tive earth line in the power cable.
With the test lead (probe), etc. used for measurement, it is essential to adjust the resistance value
from the test lead.

specified in standards, consider the result of measurement as a simple criterion in this case.
