TIC (Thermal Index for cranial applications): It provides an estimate of potential temperature rise in the cranial bones or superficial bones. 9.7.3 Measurement Uncertainties The devices used in the measurement (hydrophone, oscilloscope) have systematic errors associated with their use, either by calibration uncertainty or design limitations.
User Manual – FloPatch FP120 Rev 1.0 9.7.4 Prudent Use Statement Although no confirmed bioeffects on patients caused by exposure from present diagnostic ultrasound equipment have ever been reported, the potential exists that such bioeffects may be identified in the future. Therefore, the ultrasound should be used prudently. High levels of acoustic output and long exposure time should be avoided while acquiring necessary clinical information.
