Example Power Graphs

The power graph screen (Figure 37) shows an example of what is displayed for two devices using two channels� One device is connected to

channel A and one device is connected to channel B� Ultrasound therapy has been running for approximately 13�5 hours continuously for both

devices and is currently on as indicated by the green channel icons and the 63 % and 67 % power levels� The average power for channel A has

stayed between 50 % to 65 % during the runtime� This is indicated by the solid white line� The average power for channel B has been slightly

higher between 55 % to 75 %� This is indicated by the dashed white line�

Figure 37. Example-Two Channel Power Graph

The next power graph screen (Figure 38) shows an example of what is displayed for two channels when one device is replaced during

therapy� For example, one device is connected to channel A and one device is connected to channel B� Ultrasound therapy was running for

approximately 15�5 hours continuously for both devices, then the device connected to channel B was replaced with a new device� The new

device was connected to channel B on the Control Unit and ultrasound therapy was restarted�

Figure 38. Example-Two Channel Power Graph, Device Changed

Note: If therapy is stopped for both devices and the devices disconnected from the Control Unit, it is important to reconnect the devices to

the same channel therapy was started on� If two devices are switched from one channel to another, the runtime will reflect the total amount

of time that specific channel delivered therapy regardless of the device currently connected�

Every time the Control Unit is turned off and then back on (e�g�, turning off for patient transport) a "snapshot" of the last power graph data

will appear on the power graph screen until therapy is started� To access the snapshot, turn the Control Unit off and then back on� Then, press

the Power Graph tab on the display�

The power graph screen (Figure 39) shows an example of a snapshot power graph� In this example, the label "snapshot" appears across the

graph and both channels have green icons indicating the channels are ready for ultrasound to start�

Note: It is not possible to download or print the snapshot� Also, upon starting therapy the snapshot is cleared and active graph data is displayed�
