Page 8: Introduction
The choice of units (grams or watts) is selected by a front panel push button. The SECULIFE UP is supplied with a plug-in 120 VAC to 12VDC 500 mA adapter (using another adapter not rated or wired the same may damage unit). Unit can be operated off 4 AA batteries for over 40 hours. -
Page 9: Operating Instructions
SECULIFE UP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Water as a Measurement Medium* The measurements are to be performed in water because ultrasound propagation in water closely approximates that in tissues. The ultrasonic attenuation in water can be taken as a lower limit on the attenuation that will be encountered in the body. Large areas in the body can consist of low attenuating material such as urine and amniotic fluid. - Page 10 On an unleveled work surface!!! Allow sufficient space around the instrument for ease of operation and keep away from radiant heat sources. Never set any material on the SECULIFE UP or place your hands or fingers on it while taking reading.

8. Check response by placing the 1 gram weight on the arm of the cone target (the flat part that is out of the water). The SECULIFE UP should read 1.00 ± 0.10 grams. Change the units to the watts (Custom) mode by pressing and holding the Print Unit button until “C”... - Page 13 13. When finished, turn the unit off by pressing and holding ON/Zero/Off button until OFF is displayed, then re-lease. Unplug the SECULIFE UP, empty the tank and dry. Dry target cone. Place in foam in case along with power adapter. Position transducer holder over tank.

14.65 watts (± .2 watts) or 1.000grams (± .01 grams). If this reading is significantly off, the SECULIFE UP needs to be recalibrated. Send it to GMC Instruments Co. for calibration. It is recommended that the SECULIFE UP be returned to GMC on a yearly basis for calibration and certification. -
Page 16: Theory
SECULIFE UP THEORY Theory of Measuring Ultrasound Power with The Radiation Force Method Ultrasound is a form of energy that sets the particles in the isonated medium into vibrational motion. The particles then possess a kinetic energy. If d*P is the rate of the flow of this energy about an area d*A, then the mean acoustic energy is: Eq. - Page 17 SECULIFE UP Eq. 3 P* = I/C P = Pressure of Radiation, ergs/cm Therefore, from the above two equations, the pressure of radiation (P) is equal to the energy density (E). Eq. 4 P* = E It is this DC pressure of radiation that can be measured. At low frequencies, below 100 KHz, a standard high frequency hydrophone can be used.

± .05 counts on the watts scale. Avoid mechanical and air movement or variations in magnetic fields while making tests. Out of Measurement Range Warnings: Model SECULIFE UP accommodates weight differential of ± 120 grams. When the scale exceeds this range, “Err 2” will be dis-played. Something may be pressing hard on the target or support. -
