5.12 3D/4D 5.12.1 Note before Use 5.12.1.1 Smart 3D Image Quality Conditions NOTE: In accordance with the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle, please try to shorten the sweeping time after a good 3D imaging is obtained. The quality of images rendered in the Smart 3D mode is closely related to the fetal condition, angle of a B tangent plane and scanning technique.
NOTE: 1. A region with qualified image in B mode may not be optimal for Smart 3D imaging. E.g. adequate AF isolation for one section plane doesn’t mean the whole desired region is isolated by AF. 2. More practices are needed for a high success rate of qualified Smart 3D imaging.

Battery DO NOT install or detach the battery ad arbitrium WARNING: The batteries have protective mechanism and circuit. DO NOT disassemble or alter the battery. DO NOT short-circuit the batteries by directly connecting the negative terminals with metal objects. DO NOT heat the battery or discard it in a fire. Keep the batteries away from fire and other heat sources.
13.2 Precautions 1. Before using the battery, carefully read the description in the label on the surface of the battery. 2. When you use the battery at the first time and find that it is dirty or emit an odor, do not use it.
Warning! Battery is out of power! Please connect to power supply or system will be shut down in one minute. Connect the power supply to afford normal work. 13.5 One Full Discharge / Charge Cycle If the battery has not been used for over 2 months, you are recommended to perform one full discharge / charge cycle.
Acoustic Output This section of the operator’s manual applies to the overall system including the main unit, probes, accessories and peripherals. This section contains important safety information for operators of the device, pertaining to acoustic output and how to control patient exposure through use of the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle.
14.4 MI/TI Explanation 14.4.1 Basic Knowledge of MI and TI The relationship of various ultrasound output parameters (frequency, acoustic pressure and intensity, etc) to bioeffects is not fully understood presently. It is recognized that two fundamental mechanisms may induce bioeffects. One is a thermal bioeffect with tissue absorption of ultrasound, and another one is a mechanical bioeffect based on cavitations.
NOTE: If there is a value of MI or TI exceeds 1.0, you must be careful to practice the ALARA principle. The display precision is 0.1. Display accuracy of MI is ±28.5%, TI is±38.7% 14.5 Acoustic Power Setting Acoustic power adjustment Click [A.
Indirect Controls The controls that indirectly affect output are many imaging parameters. These are operating modes, frequency, focal point positions, image depth and pulse repetition frequency (PRF). The operating mode determines whether the ultrasound beam is scanning or non-scanning. Thermal bioeffect is closely connected to M mode.
14.7.3 Differences between Actual and Displayed MI and In operation, the system will display to the operator the Acoustic Output Parameters Thermal Index, TI, or Mechanical Index, MI (or sometimes both parameters simultaneously). These parameters were developed as general indicators of risk from either thermal or mechanical action of the ultrasound wave.
14.9 References for Acoustic Power and Safety “Bioeffects and Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound” issued by AIUM in 1993 “Medical Ultrasound Safety” issued by AIUM in 1994 "Acoustic Output Measurement Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment, Revision 3" issued by AIUM/NEMA in 2004 "Standard for real-time display of thermal and mechanical acoustic output indices on diagnostic ultrasound equipment, Revision 2"...
