CAUTION
Measurements
• Do not cancel FREEZE during measurement . Mea-
surement data will be lost .
• Do not put the system into a Shutdown / Standby /
Logout mode during measurement . Measurement
data will be lost .
• Display the most suitable image and select the
most suitable measurement tool for the intended
measurement . The appropriate measurement meth-
ods and results must be determined by a specialist .
• Press SET button to fix the data during measure-
ment or during measurement modification. Confirm
that the measurement is performed correctly .
• Be sure to perform measurement within images . If
the area outside an image is included in a measure-
ment, incorrect diagnosis may result .
• The details of precautions for each measurement
operation and function are described in each chap-
ter . Fully understand the details before using the
system .
• It is also possible to perform a measurement on a
saved image on which another measurement was
made during the examination and to print out the
result . To avoid being confused and misled by the
printed image as it will be viewed later, take ap-
propriate measures, such as keeping a record of or
making a mark on printed images, for ease of iden-
tification . In the case of black-and-white printing,
a measurement or the result of the measurement,
which was already included in a saved image, may
be confused with another measurement, which was
newly made on the saved image, or the result of
another measurement .
• Be careful of measurement errors . Because mea-
surement results include a measured value that
a user measured directly and a calculated value
based on the measured value, different results may
be obtained . Measurement values are obtained
by measurements performed by the user and are
rounded off. Calculation values, on the other hand,
are obtained by calculating measurement values
(internal values) without rounding off in order to im-
prove the accuracy of calculation and then rounding
off the calculation results.
• In two-plane volume measurement (2Pl 3Distance,
2Pl Ellipse and 2Pl Trace), measurement results
can be retained only on a channel that is measur-
ing volume (not determined) even after a FREEZE
state has been canceled . Note that the values of
other channels that have completed their measure-
ment are cleared .
Study Data Review
• Do not display ultrasound images recorded or ed-
ited by other devices on this system . (except library
function) The data may be damaged .
• Back up the saved data (image data and examina-
tion history) periodically and delete unnecessary
data . New data cannot be stored if the free space
on the internal storage is insufficient.
• Store study data after reserving necessary free
space . The free space on the internal storage is
displayed as an icon in the status area . You may
not be able to store data if the available free space
is insufficient.
• If the message "Free space of internal storage has
been small . . . ." is displayed, back up the stored
data (image data) . Then, delete unnecessary ex-
aminations and images .
• Confirm the dates, patient IDs, and patient names
before deleting the data .
• When using a previously acquired image for diag-
nosis, be sure to check the patient ID, the patient
name and the date of image acquisition displayed
above the image as well as the date of image ac-
quisition displayed below the image . The displayed
patient ID and name may not match the registered
ones if the image has been stored in the internal
storage and the corresponding patient/examination
information has been edited using the patient/ex-
amination information editing form .
Print
• Do not turn OFF the power of the system or put the
system into a standby mode while data is being
printed . Doing so may result in failure of saving or
printing or damage to the data . In addition, doing so
during access to the external storage media may
damage the media .
• Be sure to select the correct image before printing
it .
