5.13 3D/4D 5.13.1 Note before Use 5.13.1.1 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.

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.
15.4 MI/TI Explanation 15.4.1 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% 15.5 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.
15.7.3 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.

TABLE 4 RECOMMENDED SEPARATION DISTANCES BETWEEN PORTABLE AND MOBILE RF COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND THE SYSTEM The system is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbance are controlled. The customer or the user of system can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communication equipment (transmitters) and system as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communication equipment.
Routine system maintenance shall be carried out by the user. Service maintenance will be provided by Mindray service engineers while the system is under warranty. System maintenance after the warranty has expired is the full responsibility of the owner / operator.

The trackball on the control panel is used to move the cursor and plays an importance part in man-machine communication. As one of the most frequently used parts on the control panel, it may become ineffective due to dirt that enters into the trackball module. Disassembling the trackball: Rotate the trackball clamp ring 35 degrees anticlockwise.
17.3 Consumables and Periodic Part Replacement This system contains some consumables and parts requiring periodic replacement. Before replacing them, please contact Mindray Customer Service Department or sales representative for instructions. 17.4 Troubleshooting To ensure proper system operation and function, it is recommended that a maintenance and inspection plan be established to periodically check the safety of the system.

Otherwise it may result in malfunction or electric shock. When you want to clean probe connectors and TGC sliders, contact Mindray Customer Service Department or sales representative. Cleaning it yourself may result in malfunction or degradation of the performance.
Appendix A Electrical Safety Inspection The following electrical safety tests are recommended as part of a comprehensive preventive maintenance program. They are a proven means of detecting abnormalities that, if undetected, could prove dangerous to either the patient or the operator. Additional tests may be required according to local regulations.

Mains on Applied Part Leakage The Mains on Applied Part test applies a test voltage, which is 110% of the mains voltage, through a limiting resistance, to selected applied part terminals. Current measurements are then taken between the selected applied part and earth. Measurements are taken with the test voltage (110% of mains) to applied parts in the normal and reverse polarity conditions The following outlet conditions apply when performing the Mains on Applied Part test.
Appendix B iWorks (Auto Workflow Protocol) Overview The major objective of ultrasound workflow automation (iWorks) is to speed up exam time and reduce the excessive number of user interface manual key strokes that can lead to repetitive motion injuries over time. It automates a clinical work flow in common exam protocols in a logical, “step by step” manner.
