devices, be sure to clean the equipment and/or devices after service work.

1-8 Precautions to ensure safety of software

OS (Operating System, such as Windows) operation is allowed Service Engineer who has taken
appropriate training. Illegal change on OS or our program files, Illegal copy of file/folder/partition
which NOT instructed, are prohibited.
Computer controlled medical equipment that involves starting up an operating system from an internal
storage drive could become infected with computer viruses.
Such equipment is usually infected via peripheral storage, media or connections to a network.
Examples detailing route of infection
A) Infections caused during upgrades or maintenance by service engineer.
An infected USB memory device was connected.
An infected floppy disk was inserted.
A virus-infected USB hard disk drive was connected to remove data.
B) Infections caused by copying/backing up the preset data or stored images
An infected USB memory device was connected.
An infected floppy disk was inserted.
A virus-infected USB hard disk drive was connected to remove data.

1) Scan all media for viruses before connecting them to or inserting them in the equipment.
2) When an infection is detected, investigate the route of infection and its scope before removing the
virus.
3) Any connections to a network should as far as possible be routed via a firewall.
4) Software, files or services other than those designated by us must not be installed on or uninstalled
from the equipment. Nor must files other than those specified by us be modified or edited.
5) DO NOT connect the internal storage device (hard disk, CF card and so on) to your PC.
It may cause the computer virus infection to the machine.

MN2-2075 Rev.0
Chapter 1 Introduction

1-9 Precautions for software safety of maintenance tools

These maintenance tools refer to the laptop computers and auxiliary storage devices that service
engineers carry around. (Any computer used for creating CD-Rs for installing upgrades is also regarded
as a maintenance tool.) Thus maintenance tools will include laptop computers, floppy diskettes, USB
memory devices, external hard disks, CD-Rs, etc.
1) Perform a virus scan of any tool that will be used to ensure that they are not infected by computer
viruses.
Regularly perform virus scans of maintenance tools.
2) In unavoidable cases when for some reason safety cannot be confirmed, or when an unknown
computer or memory device is connected, be sure to perform a virus check after use.
3) Update with the most recent virus pattern data prior to performing a virus scan.
4) If a virus scan does not remove the cause for anxiety, use another virus scanner to check.

1-10 Precautions regarding handling of patient data

Extreme care must be taken to ensure that data (image data, patient database, DICOM communication
log files) that has been saved to another media during equipment repair and may include patient data is
guarded against leakage, loss and theft. Delete any data that is no longer needed.
1) Work involving use of patient data should be performed in a room that can be locked to prevent
leakage, loss or theft of such data.
2) Such data must be stored in a locked shelf or similar container.
3) If no lockable shelves are available, encrypt the files to reduce possible harm in the event of theft,
leakage or loss.

1-11 Preparation to be made before visit customer

1) When called by a customer on the telephone, note the followings:


 Name of equipment
 Serial number of equipment
 Name of hospital
 Telephone number
 Name of person in charge
 Detail of trouble symptom as far as possible
 State of connection to optional devices

2) Go over the “Technical Bulletin” and “Technical Notes” to see whether the complained trouble can
be mended by means of regular repairing method.

1-5
MN2-2075 Rev.0
Chapter 1 Introduction

1-12 Care to be taken in the Field

1) Check for trouble symptoms.


2) Check for connection to optional devices and other peripheral devices.
3) Record structure of the equipment such as Software Version.
4) After working, restore the equipment according to the above mentioned contents of memory if
necessary.
5) After completion of work, put back the peripheral devices to the original condition.

1-13 Handling of PCB

It is our policy that neither repair nor modification of PCBs used for S.M.D. is made in the field as a
rule because of the following reasons:

[REMARKS]
PCB does not need repairing or modifying in the field as a rule.

When handling a PCB, do not touch the IC unless it is necessary.


IC soiled with worker’s hands may cause corrosion. Additionally, foreign particles such as fine solder
dust could be the cause of short-circuited IC lead wires whose pitch is smaller than that of the traditional
ones.

Do not give excessively large shocks to the PCB.


Very thin wiring patterns require extreme care in handling of the PCB.
When replacing the ROM (Read Only Memory) on the PCB, attempting to force the ROM into its
socket would cause the PCB to be subjected to an undue force.

Reuse of chip devices (including resistors, capacitors, diodes, etc.) is strictly inhibited.

 CAUTION  When handling a PCB, avoid touching the IC and connector pins on the devices
to prevent ESD (Electro Static Discharge) damage.
A service person should preferably wear an ESD wrist strap correctly grounded
when handling a PCB.

1-14 WEEE Directive and RoHS Directive

4-4 System operation principles

4-4-1 System control unit


 General purpose CPU module on the CONT board (COM Express)
The operation of the device as a whole is controlled by the general-purpose CPU module
(COM-Express) located on the CONT board. The CPU module runs a general-purpose
operating system and controls the SATA-HDD on the CONT board and the display of the
liquid crystal monitor and operation panel. Furthermore, it communicates with the FPGA on
the CONT board via PCI Express and with the CELL board via gigabit LAN. It
communicates with the operation panel through serial communication (USB).
On the HDD,
 ARIETTA70 diagnostic system application programs
 Firmware for the boards and units in the system
(At the time of system startup, the contents are compared and in those cases where
there are discrepancies, transmission to each device from the HDD is done
automatically)
 Sending waveform data for the sending circuit for each probe
 Focus data for the transmission/reception circuit for each probe
 Parameter data for the scan converter for each probe
 Presets, images, and patient database data
and the like are stored.
In the case of board-specific data, the CPU sends the data to each board from the hard disk
as necessary, even when the device is operating.

 The microprocessor and CPLD on the CONT board primarily carry out system power control.
Operation using standby power, and control of the main power ON/OFF sequence for the
diagnostic system by the operation panel or the signal from the application.

Chapter 4 System Overview

4-4-2 Transmission and reception section


The transmission and reception section is configured by:
one probe selector board (probe connector section)
one TX board (optional waveform transmission section, CW transmission section)
one RX board (Pre AMP section)
one DBF board (Digital Beam Former section, transmission waveform generation section)
as an option, one CWSRV board (STCW reception section, independent transmission and
reception section, 4D switch control section).

 Probe connector section

A board having 4 probe connectors installed that can connect to electronic probes (electronic
sector, electronic linear, and electronic convex) and one probe connector for connecting an
independent probe [option]. In addition, a FootSW connector is also installed on this board.

The electronic connectors have been changed from the previous ProSound and Hivision
types and a change has been made to the small type connector used by Noblus. In addition,
in order to make use of the existing ProSound and Hivision probes, a JB-BOX has been
made available and able to be connected.

 Optional waveform transmission section, CW transmission section


On one TX board, an optional waveform transmission circuit and a dedicated CW
transmission circuit are installed.
The transmission waveform for transmitting ultrasound waves other than STCW are
generated by the DBF board and sent to the TX board as low voltage analog signals. The
signals that have been sent are amplified by the high voltage wide band linear amplifier and
output as the transmitted signal.
The STCW waveform is also generated by the DBF board and sent to the TX board as
continuous pulse data. This signal is used and the transmission signal is output by the CW
pulse transmission circuit. Incidentally, CW voltage used by the CW pulse transmission
circuit is generated on the TX board.

 Pre AMP section


The received signal is amplified by the LNA (Low Noise preAmplifier) on the RX board
and in order to match the input level of the A/D of the stage prior to the Digital Beam
Former section, is further amplified by the VGA (Variable Gain Amplifier). The amplified
received signal is A/D converted and sent to the DBF board as a LVDS signal.
The STCW received signal is amplified by the LNA on the RX board and that signal is sent
to the CWSRV board.

 Digital Beam Former section


The A/D converted reception signal on the RX board is sent to the Ultra BE (Ultrasound
Broadband Engine) as a LVDS signal. The transmitted reception wave signal is phased,
output as IQ complex signal data and sent to the CONT board.

4 - 25
MN2-2075 Rev.0
Chapter 4 System Overview

 Transmission waveform generation section


Ultra BE (Ultrasound Broadband Engine) generates the transmission waveform. The
transmission waveforms for transmitting ultrasound waves other than STCW are D/A
converted, amplified, and sent to the TX board as low voltage analog signals. The STCW
waveforms are sent to the TX board as continuous pulse data.

 STCW reception section, independent transmission and reception section


The received signal sent from the Pre AMP section is quadrature detected and phase aligned
with the local oscillator signal generated by the STCW FPGA. The signals of I and Q of
each channel that have been quadrature detected are added, amplified and made two I and Q
signals. After that, they are sent to the CONT board following each type of filter processing
and A/D conversion.
In addition, a dedicated independent probe transmission and reception circuit is installed on
the CWSRV board and the reception signal is amplified, band limited, quadrature detected,
and sent to the STCW reception section on this board.

 4D scanner control section


On the CWSRV board, circuits are installed for the control of other 4D scanner mechanical
operations (reciprocating motion).

Chapter 4 System Overview

4-4-3 CONT and Backend section


The CONT and Backend section is configured by:
one CONT board (overall ultrasound diagnostic system control section "COM-Express," RF
signal processing section, video processing section the overlays the
ultrasound information and graphics and outputs to the monitor,
interface section for various peripheral devices, transmission and
receiving signal timing and control signal generation section, power
ON/OFF control section), and
one Backend board (Beam Processor section, cine memory section, post processing section
including a scan converter, elastography processing section, RT3D
2D image processing section, EFV data processing section).
In addition, as an option,
one TVITF board (peripheral device and analog video signal input and output section)
can also be incorporated.

 RF signal processing section


The RF signal output from DBF and the post-detection Doppler data output from the
CW&Servo board undergo the following processes at the RF signal processing unit of the
CONT board.
 B/W signal: RF gain processing (short-distance gain correction, TxGain, STC,
LGC), ExPHD, VBPF, detection, magnitude, LPF

There are two systems of the same circuit to carry out parallel
processing (maximum of 8 directions) on black and white receiving
signals.
 Flow signal: RF gain processing (short-distance gain correction), pulse compression,
quadrature detection, LPF
There are two systems of the same circuit to carry out parallel
processing (maximum of 4 directions) on Flow receiving signals.
 PW signal: RF gain processing (short-distance gain correction), quadrature
detection, LPF, sample gate addition
EDA (Expanded Doppler Analysis):
To increase the display quality of PW Doppler, this device divides
sample gate into multiple segments (maximum of 8 divisions), and
then adds it after carrying out simultaneous parallel processing of I/Q
signal data.
 Illustration signal: RF gain processing (short-distance gain correction), quadrature
detection, LPF
 CW signal: LPF, thinning processing
 eTracking signal:BPF, zero cross detection and tracking processing after over-sample
processing
Eventually, the I/Q signal (in case of B/W signal, envelope signal) and eTracking data are
converted to the designated format, and then sent to the Backend board.

4 - 27
MN2-2075 Rev.0
Chapter 4 System Overview

 Beam Processor section


The I/Q signal output from the CONT board is used by the high-speed processing on the
Backend board and the following software processing is performed.
 B/W signal: AGC, Relief, 3-line correlation, Edge Optimize,
Spatial Compound, frame correlation, FAM
 Flow signal: Wall Filter, line correlation, flow gain, frame correlation, Smoothing
 Doppler signal: Wall Filter, FFT, MSE processing, Doppler autotrace
After that, the processed data are sent to the post-processing section on the Backend board.
In addition, software processing including elastography, RT3D 2D image processing, and
EFV data conversion processing is also done with the Backend board.

 Cine memory section


With previous systems, hardware based cine memory has been mounted on the board but
with this system, a portion of the DIMM memory that is mounted on the Backend board is
used as a ring buffer and implements the cine memory.
The ultrasound image cine data (including the real-time black and white, color, and static
image review region; also used for post-freeze FAM) and the biosignal cine data (including
the black and white and FMD biosignals and biosignal applied static image review region)
are stored in the cine memory and same cine memory is shared by function.

 Scan converter section, post-processing section


The RF data that are called up from the cine memory are converted into a display format
while two dimensional interpolation is added on the Backend board. For the two
dimensional interpolation, the appropriate 4-point or 8-point data of the pixel perimeter are
used and the interpolation is done. The data count for interpolation use is selected and set
depending on the probe and display mode. The scan conversion frame rate is fixed at 60 Hz.
In addition, with the data after scan conversion, gain processing (post-freeze gain processing
is also done here) and dynamic range gamma conversion processing are done for each
display mode and, after verification of the ultrasound image priority order, converted into
RGB image data and sent to the CONT board.

4 - 28
MN2-2075 Rev.0
Chapter 4 System Overview

 Video signal processing section


The RGB image data from the Backend board and the character and graphic data from the
COM-Express on the CONT board (including gray scale bar and color scale bar) undergo
compound processing at the video processing unit, and digital RGB data of 1280 × 1024
size is output to the observation monitor as an image display. The data are output to the
observation monitor through the digital-output DVI-D connector of the peripheral I/O board.
Furthermore, the RT3D/EFV data from the Backend board is sent to COM-Express
(software) on the CONT board. After software processing, the data are output from the
CONT board to the observation monitor as character and graphic data.
In addition, the RGB data of 1280 × 1024 size that underwent compound processing is
output from the digital-output DVI-D connector of the peripheral I/O board as external
recording device.
When there is a TV-ITF unit (option) on the CONT board, the TVITF board performs
resolution conversion (down conversion) on the RGB data from the CONT board. After
digital/analog conversion by the video encoding circuit, analog video signals (composite × 1,
Y/C × 1) are output to peripheral recording devices.
Furthermore, analog video signals (Y/C input × 1) from peripheral recording devices are
input and undergo analog/digital conversion by the video decoder circuit. Next, the signal
undergoes resolution conversion (up conversion), the character and graphic data undergo
compound processing at the CONT board, and then the signals are externally output and
played back on the observation monitor.
The signal input and output of peripheral recording devices are carried out from the
connector on the Peripheral I/O board.

 Transmission and reception signal timing and control signal generation section.
The ultrasound transmission/reception timing is generated by the timing control section on
the CONT board, and the transmission sequence is controlled based on the beam table and
beam sequence specified in the software.

4-4-5 Power supply unit EU-6053


The commercial power that has been supplied from a power cable that has been connected to the
AC IN is branched to the AC-DC converter section (AC/DC) and the insulated AC power output
section (AC/AC).
The AC-DC converter section outputs standby power and other DC voltages.
The standby power is output depending on the commercial power connection and the other DV
voltages and insulated AC output are output in accordance with the control signal that has been
input from J120.
As a protection feature, when the power supply fan does not rotate and in those cases where there
excessive internal heat, PSU_ERR is output to the system and it waits for a cutoff by a control
signal. In addition, for each output voltage, in those cases where excessive current, excessive
voltage, or short circuit has been detected, everything but the standby power is cut off. For latch
protection, the power input is terminated by a brief cutoff. The cutoff is needed until the standby
power is depleted. The preservation of the standby power output is an automatic reset type. It is
reset when the failure is resolved.

Incidentally, the overall system power ON/OFF is controlled as below via the CONT.
 Power ON sequence
1) When the breaker SW is turned ON, +5 Vsb is output and the power-SW on the panel
turns orange.
2) When the power-SW is pressed, the power-SW changes to white together with a beep
sound and the power ON sequence begins.
3) The CONT requests a power supply start from the power supply unit EU-6053*.
4) The power supply unit begins the supply of electricity to each section and after the power
output has been fully launched, a PWR_OK signal is transmitted to the CONT.
5) The system (OS and application programs) starts.

 Power OFF sequence


1) When the power-SW is pushed, the power-SW changes to flashing white together with a
beep sound and the OS shutdown execution is entered.
2) The CONT, which has detected the shutdown completion, transmits a power OFF signal to
the power supply unit EU-6053* and the power other than the +5 Vsb is turned OFF.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

5-1. Introduction

This troubleshooting is a part of the Service Manual that is produced for providing a direction of repair
work. The description in this chapter is based on replacing PCB and unit.

5-2. Precaution

Please pay attention to the following instructions when you repair an equipment with referring this
troubleshooting in order to avoid occurring unnecessary trouble.
1) When you remove any of electrical part, like PCB, probe, cable, you should turn of the power of
the equipment.
When you remove parts that are biased by “standby power”, unplug the power cable from the
mains or turn off the circuit breaker and confirm that the power switch on the operation panel is off
the light.

2) When you disassemble an equipment, be sure to follow the disassembling procedure in order to
avoid damaging the equipment by disassembling it incorrectly.

3) To check/measure voltages and/or waveforms, you should be familiar with the specification and
handling of the measuring instrument.

4) When grounding a test probe of a measuring instrument or any other instrument, you need to know
the locations where measured signal grounds are. Be sure to identify the type of ground (analog,
digital, AC, DC, high voltage, or low voltage) before using it.

 CAUTION  If a ground of test probe is not connected to the correct ground, it may not
be possible to observer the correct voltage value or waveform, or the
relevant measuring instrument and/or the ultrasound diagnostic equipment
may burn out.

5) Be sure to turn off the power to the ultrasound diagnostic equipment before connecting a test probe
of any measuring instrument to a measuring test point.

 CAUTION  In particular, when measuring high voltages, a circuit in the ultrasound


diagnostic equipment may be damaged. In addition, operator safety may
be compromised.

6) Before replacing or repairing a PCB, determine the compatibility or other information of PCBs
following the “Software/Hardware History”.

 CAUTION  Inserting an incompatible PCB into the equipment may cause it to burn
out.

7) Avoid changing the setting of a variable resistor or switch on a PCB unless you are sure the
relevant component is faulty.
See "VOLUME 1: Chapter 6, Performance Check" to determine whether the relevant component is
faulty.
See "VOLUME 2: Chapter 4, Adjustment" if readjustments are required.

 CAUTION  Changing a variable resistor or switch without any reason may produce a
new problem, making it impossible to repair.

technical support. In such a case, provide at least the following information.
i) Model name of the equipment
ii) Serial number of the equipment
iii) History (repairs and upgrades) of the equipment and software version
iv) Description of the problem (send photos if necessary)

IMPORTANT When you contact the technical support, be sure to send the System
Information file to allow the technical support to make a correct decision
regarding the equipment information. To determine failure symptoms,
obtain an image or video of the equipment and send it with the description.

5-5 Default setting and Status indication

There are some DIP switches and JP (Jumper connector) on a PCB that are for setting the initial
configuration and changing specification among various regional requirements. If the setting of them
were not in the state that is instructed, this will cause not only incorrect behave of the equipment but
some damage on it. These settings should not be altered unless you are instructed except for
maintenance purpose.
Several PCB have LED mounted on it and you could recognize the status of operation on the board
and surmise a defect of it as well. There are two type of LED indication that one is indicating the
status of the circuit independently, the other is observing the status between the board and other unit so
that it isn’t necessarily telling a problem in the board that is mounted.
This section describes the locations of LED and the statuses.

5-7 LCD MONITOR IPF-2101*

This section provides information regarding the LCD monitor.

5-7-1 Caution for Monitor repairing


When you have a failure on LCD monitor, it should be replaced by LCD monitor module or
whole LCD monitor, and DO NOT replace with the internal PC board or any parts on LCD
monitor.
If you disassemble the LCD monitor in the field, we could not accept for monitor repairing
regardless in the warranty or not.
In addition, please be careful about the handling of LCD panel because there is the following
characteristic on it.
 The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor has been manufactured with extremely high
precision, but there are some cases where screen pixels are black or constantly lit in one
color. Note that this is due to the characteristics of the LCD monitors, and is not a defect.
Please refer to description on the next section about the how to judge it.
 When LCD monitor displays the images for a long time, an afterimage comes out and may
let you shorten life of the liquid crystal panel. Please use screensaver and so on to avoid
these.
 Prevent an LCD screen from being injured by a hard thing or a sharp thing (a needle, pin).
 When the LCD monitor gets too strong vibration and/or shock, it causes some damage and
the trouble of the screen part. Please carefully handle with it during the installation,
disassembling and transportation of LCD monitor.
 DO NOT block up the vent part, avoid the installation on the side of heat generator, and
please install it in the good place of the ventilation as much as possible.
 Do not use the LCD monitor in locations exposed to direct sunlight or well-light because
temperature inside of monitor will be increased or it will be difficult to see the image on the
monitor.

5-7-2 How to judge the dot defect of LCD monitor


Our Q.A. established the standard for a judgment of LCD dot defect. It allows “0 bright dot”,
“7 or less single dark dots”, “3 or less double dark dots”, “double dark dots should not be
within a circle of 2cm in diameter”, “total number of dark dots (single and double) should
be 7 or less”. When dots are exceeded than this, the monitor is recognized as faulty.
 Definitions
Dot Defect: A defect occurs in a pixel that one of the R, G, B color sell get abnormal
display.

1 picture element
(1 pixel)

Each R, G, B sell is
called “dot”.

Bright dot: A defect that the dot is always displayed in brighter color (White, red,
green, blue, purple, light blue, yellow) on the LCD screen when it displays
“black” or dark color.
You can check it during the start-up of the machine (When the LCD is
black) or in the PRESET screen (Dark background).

5 - 20
MN2-2075 Rev.0
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Dark dot: A defect that the dot always displayed in darker color (Red, green, blue,
purple, light blue and yellow) or it doesn’t light at all on the LCD screen
when it display “White” or brighter color. You can check it with “EXT”
screen or a test pattern display (If available).

 Procedure and the environmental conditions


All LCD monitors are inspected with the procedure and the environmental conditions below.
You should follow this procedure and the conditions when you check the dot defect because
you would make a misjudgment if you did it outside the range of these conditions.
Distance: View the screen visually at about 30 to 40 cm from the surface of
LCD monitor.
Viewing angle: View the screen from the front perpendicularly against the surface of
LCD monitor (Vertically within +/- 10 degrees and horizontally
within +/- 10 degrees).
Surrounding light: Light the room with a fluorescent light (Day light type) at 300 to 500
lux (It is regular luminance of office room, factory etc.).
Room temperature: 20 to 25 degree Celsius (68 to 77 degree Fahrenheit)

IMPORTANT There is tighter standard applied at the production of LCD module,


especially for “bright dot” is strictly checked at the factory.
IMPORTANT This standard is applied independently of the resolution (Number of
pixels) of the LCD monitor.

5-7-3 Onscreen display and functions


This section describes items displayed on the onscreen display (OSD, function to display and
manipulate the display settings screen on the screen) of this monitor.

5-10 Network error

If there is a network error (DICOM communication error), see the following, and then perform repair
work.
1. Check for hardware and software failures
Follow the procedure in the section 5-10-1, and check that the network function on the Backend
unit and network function on the operating system are working normally. If an error is found,
replace the Backend unit or hard disk drive.

2. Checking the network environment


Run a ping test for the network connection destination (DICOM image server, hub/router,
peripheral computers, and so on), and check communication.
If there is no communication, see the section 5-10-2, and check that there are no errors in the
network settings of the ultrasound diagnostic machine itself. Next, check for problems in the
settings of the connection destination network device.

 Reference  For the ping test, use the network protocol named ICMP. Depending on the
computer settings, it is possible to set no response to echo requests in the ICMP
protocol.
If there are no problems with the DICOM function, and the ping test is
unsuccessful, there are no particular problems for usage.

If there are no problems with any of the settings, check with the network administrator of the
facility for unplugged network cables (LAN cables) and problems with hubs, routers, and
connection destination network devices.
If infrequent network problems are occurring, see 5-10-5 and then acquire and check the
communication data (packets) on the network. Consult with our technical support regarding
analysis of acquired data, and so on.

3. Checking the DICOM environment


Run a C-Echo test on the network connection destination DICOM device, and check
communication.
If there is no communication, see 5-10-2, and check that there are no errors in the DICOM settings
of the ultrasound machine itself. Next, check for problems in the settings of the connection
destination DICOM device.

 Reference  For the C-Echo test, a service called Verification for DICOM communication is
used. Depending on the connection destination DICOM device, this service
may not be supported, and may not respond to C-Echo.
If there are no problems with the DICOM function, and the C-Echo test is
unsuccessful, there are no particular problems for usage.

4. Interpretation mismatch in DICOM communication


DICOM communication may fail because of interpretation differences for the DICOM
specifications of communication destination DICOM devices. In such cases, see 5-10-3 through
5-10-4, and then perform troubleshooting.

5-10-1 Check for hardware and software malfunctions

Check that the BE unit network function and operating system network function are operating
normally.
1. CHECKING THE BE unit
See 5-11, and then use the CPU self-diagnostic tool to diagnose the hardware. If this function
does not find any errors in the “PCI Network”, the network function installed in the Backend
unit is operating normally.

2. Checking the network function on the OS


Check that the computer and ultrasound machine are connected by a network cable (cross
cable) using a peer to peer connection, and then check that the network function is operating
normally.
While any network settings for the ultrasound machine and computer are acceptable, the
following is a basic connection example.
(1) Configure the ultrasound machine and computer network settings as follows.
超音波診断装置 PC
IP address 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0

(1) Use a network cable (cross cable) to directly connect the ultrasound machine and
computer.

Cross cable

IP: 192.168.100.1 IP: 192.168.100.2

(2) Perform a ping test from the ultrasound machine to the computer (or vice versa). If a
response is received without issue, the operating system network function is operating
normally.
 Reference  Depending on the computer network settings, it is possible to obtain no
response to echo requests for ping command.
If the ping test fails from the ultrasound machine but succeeds from the
computer, there are no problems.

5-10-3 Troubleshooting of image storage operations

To resolve DICOM communication problems, it is necessary to acquire DICOM communication


logs from the maintenance menu, and then determine the cause of the problem from the logs. This
section describes how to handle problems from various causes.
For the method to acquire DICOM logs, see “Volume 2: Chapter 3, Service information”. When it
is necessary to analyze the logs, add the machine information to the acquired logs, and then
contact our technical support.

5-10-3-1 Association abort due to transfer syntax mismatches

During association for typical DICOM communication, the server (SCP: Service Class Provider)
selects the transfer syntax it can receive from the transfer syntax list provided by the machine
(SCU: Service Class User), and then data sending starts using this transfer syntax. However, some
servers cannot receive data even when the machine sends data using the transfer syntax specified
by the server. In addition, data transfer using a particular transfer syntax may be required.
In such cases, it is possible to apply limitations to the transfer syntax proposed by the machine. On
the Ver.1, See the following section, and then change the settings. From Ver.2, it is possible to
apply this limitation from Maintenance screen, see the “Volume 2: Chapter 3, Service
information” for more details.

7) Device periphery, power supply plug


Remove dust and moisture. If the device is used in a dusty location, ventilation worsens and
the temperature inside the device becomes unusually high. A very moist location may cause a
device malfunction or short circuit.
In addition, if the power supply plug is left inserted in an outlet for a long time, dust may
accumulate gradually in the space between the outlet and plug. If this dust turns moist, a
spark discharge may be generated between the poles of the plug (tracking phenomenon). In
particular, if the plug is left inserted incompletely, the poor connection increases the level of
probability of the tracking phenomenon due to the synergistic affect with the generation of
heat. To avoid this issue, remove a plug that has been inserted into the outlet for a long time,
and then clean the plug. For example, wipe the plug well with a dry cloth to remove dirt.

manual (MN2-0204). The content of this section is a supplementary explanation of the section
specialized for the ARIETTA70 ultrasound image diagnostic equipment.

 Important  The safety test identifies the quality of the electrical safety performance of the
device. The test methods and standard values of the safety test differ depending on
the category of degree of protection against electric shock.
In the case of the ARIETTA70 ultrasound image diagnostic equipment, the
category of degree of protection against electric shock corresponds to "BF-type
applied part".
Note that when the safety check is carried out in Japan, it is based on JIS T 0601-1.
1) Checking the conduction of the protective earth wire
Measure between the protective earth terminal edge of the power supply plug of the
ARIETTA70 ultrasound image diagnostic equipment and the following locations.

3) Leakage current

 Important  The ARIETTA70 ultrasound image diagnostic equipment is equipped


with an internal hard disk. When you measure the leakage current using a
leakage current meter that has an automatic measurement function, such as the
HIOKI 3155, do not use the automatic switching function for power supply
polarity. Instead, start devices fully one by one, switch off the power of the
device, change the measurement conditions of the leakage current meter, and
then perform the measurement.
 Ground leakage current
Perform the measurement in the STAND BY condition.

 Contact (external leak) current


Measure the leakage current flowing from the exterior of the device to the ground (a) and
the leakage current flowing within the exterior of the device (b).

 Exterior leakage current (a)


Measure the leakage current flowing from the device top panel to the ground

 Exterior leakage current (b)


Measure the leakage current flowing between the device top panel and the palm rest
section at the front of the operation panel.

 Patient leakage current I


Measure the leakage current flowing from the patient contact section to the ground.

 Patient leakage current III


After adding a current of [rated voltage + 10% of rated voltage] to the probe unit,
measure the leakage current flowing from the device main unit to the ground.

 Patient measurement current (carried out only when the PEU-ARIETTA70 is connected)
Measure between the black lead and red lead/green lead bundle of the ECG cable.
