    Chapter 2: System Overview About the System The SonoSite S Series high‐resolution ultrasound system is a portable, software controlled, diagnostic  ultrasound system using all digital architecture. The system is used to acquire and display high‐resolution,  real‐time ultrasound data in 2D, Color Power Doppler (CPD), and color Doppler (Color) or in a combination  of these modes. The system provides measurement capabilities for anatomical structures and fetal biometry that provide  information used for clinical diagnostic purposes. System features include cine review, image zoom,  labeling, biopsy, measurements and calculations, and image storage, review, printing, recording  capabilities. The system/transducer is capable of exceeding a TI or an MI of 1.0 in certain operating modes or mode  combinations. The system displays the current output level in terms of one of two bioeffects indices  (“Mechanical Index [MI]” and “Thermal Index [TI]”) in accordance with the AIUM/NEMA Standard for  Real Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound  Equipment. Theory of Operation The S Series ultrasound system has seven (7) major functional groups:  • Transducer • Acquisition Subsystem • Processing Subsystem • Display Subsystem • Control Subsystem • User Interface Subsystem • Power Subsystem Figure 2.1 shows the relationship of the functional groups.
  • Page 8 Control Bus Power subsystem Battery pack Display power assembly Transducer Logic power Pulser voltage Power adapter External power Figure 2.1 SonoSite High-Resolution Ultrasound System (S Series) Block Diagram The Transducer elements convert the pulser voltage to acoustic energy during the transmit portion of the  ultrasound acquisition cycle. The elements convert the acoustic echo to voltage in the receive portion of the  acquisition. The voltage developed on the transducer elements is sensed by the acquisition subsystem. The  system transducers have 64 to 192 elements.  The Acquisition Subsystem consists of the beamformer and interface to the transducer. The beamformer  controls the timing of the transmit pulses to focus the acoustic beam. The beamformer amplifies the  low‐level received echoes and controls the receive focusing. The system beamformer transmits on up to 128  elements and receives on 64 elements. The Processing Subsystem includes capabilities for interfacing with the beamformer and performing high  speed processing. The processing subsystem demodulates, filters, detects, and compresses the signal  supplied by the beamformer into display information. The Display Subsystem converts the detected ultrasound data into picture elements (pixels). The software ...
  • Page 9 The Power Subsystem provides the system power and protects the hardware from destructive and/or  unsafe conditions by detecting failures in the system through hardware and software monitors. Detection  of a fault results in disabling of the pulser supply, and signaling of an error to the Control Group. The power  subsystem includes the battery pack and battery charging electronics. Description of Operating Modes 2D Mode 2D mode is a two dimensional image of the amplitude of the echo signal. It is used for location and measurement of anatomical structures and for spatial orientation during operation of other modes. In 2D, a two-dimensional cross-section of a 3-dimensional soft tissue structure such as the heart is displayed in real time.

  • Page 16: Failure (Assert) Codes

    Failure (Assert) Codes ʺAssertʺ or ʺAssert Codeʺ are software error codes that are generated by all Sonosite products when certain  hardware or software fault conditions exist. Providing the Assert Code to the Technical Support Group may  assist in quicker and more accurate fault diagnosis.  Hardware Assert Codes typically cannot be reset and will usually require Main PCBA replacement. Many  software Assert Codes can be reset and the system may recover and operate normally.  Handling Assert Codes 1 Record the Assert Code. The Assert Code is a four or five digit number inside of parentheses on the  maintenance screen (Blue screen with screwdriver symbol). See Figure 3.1. Assert Code Figure 3.1 Maintenance Screen with Assert Code 2 Press and release the Power button to power the system down. 3 Press the Power button again to power the system up. • If the system powers up normally, it has recovered from the fault (software assert) and you may use  the system. • If the Assert Code remains, corrective action must be taken; usually replacement of the main PCBA is  required. Contact SonoSite Technical Support for assistance and to obtain repair parts. If the Power button is not functional, all sources of power must be removed to allow the system to  power down. I.e., disconnect AC power and remove the battery. Chapter 3: Troubleshooting...

    To obtain 2D images, SonoSite recommends using the RMI 413A Soft Tissue Phantom or the RMI 403 GS  Multipurpose Phantom. A .7db/cm phantom is required for performing penetration measurements. Any  equivalent .7db/cm Phantom is acceptable. When making penetration measurements on a phantom, apply the phantom reference value and tolerance  to the measurement. Some features and capabilities are optional and therefore may be unavailable to test. Test Equipment • SonoSite ultrasound system under test • Transducer compatible with the system under test • RMI 413A Soft Tissue Phantom, RMI 403 GS Multipurpose Phantom, or equivalent. A referenced .7db/cm  phantom is required for performing penetration measurements. • Video printer • Acoustic gel Set Up Performance Tests Set Up Performance Tests 1 Attach a compatible transducer to the system under test.
