About the system
The M‐Turbo ultrasound system is a portable,
software‐controlled device using all‐digital
architecture. The system has multiple
configurations and feature sets used to acquire
and display high‐resolution, real‐time
ultrasound images. Features available on your
system depend on system configuration,
transducer, and exam type.
A license key is required to activate the software.
See "A maintenance icon appears on the system
screen. Restart the system. If the issue recurs,
system maintenance may be required. Note the
number that appears in parentheses on the C: line
and contact SonoSite or your SonoSite
representative.Software licensing" on page 82.
On occasion, a software upgrade may be
required. SonoSite provides a USB device
containing the software. One USB device can be
used to upgrade multiple systems.
