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.

Relative humidity: 20% to 95% (no condensation) Atmospheric pressure: 700 hPa ~ 1060 hPa 4. When the transducer is sent to MINDRAY Customer Service Department or sales representative for repair, be sure to disinfect it and keep it in the carrying case to prevent infection.
If an abnormality is found on the needle-guided bracket, immediately stop using it and contact MINDRAY Customer Service Department or sales representative. Do not use a needle-guided bracket when scanning is performed.
Page 202
Adjust the needle mark before the biopsy procedure is performed. When performing biopsy procedures, use only sterile ultrasound gel that is certified to be safe. And manage the ultrasound gel properly to ensure that it does not become a source of infection. When performing the operation concerning biopsy, wear sterile gloves.
When using the needle-guided bracket wear sterile gloves to CAUTION: prevent infection. During biopsy of the probe 65EB10EA, misoperation may occur when the scan range is not set to “W”, which will affect the blind area of the image and the accuracy of needle displaying. The scan range should be kept to “W”.
A needle-guided bracket is available for purchase as an optional accessory; it is used in combination with this transducer. Part of the probes have matched needle-guided bracket and needles. To order needle-guided brackets, contact MINDRAY Customer Service Department or sales representative.

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.
Users must take responsibility for the safety of patients and utilize ultrasound deliberately. Deliberate use of ultrasound means that output power of ultrasound must be selected based on ALARA.

TIC: Thermal index for applications, such as pediatric and adult cranial applications, in which the ultrasound beam passes through bone near the beam entrance into the body. WFUMB (World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology) guidelines: state that temperature increase of 4 degree C for 5 min or more should be considered as potentially hazardous to embryonic and fetal tissue.
Display of Thermal and Mechanical Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment (AIUM and NEMA UD-3 2004). 14.6 Acoustic Power Control The qualified operator may use the system controls to limit the ultrasound output and to adjust the quality of the images. There are three categories of system controls relative to output.
Although the attenuation coefficient chosen, 0.3 dB/cm/MHz, is significantly lower than any specific solid tissue in the body, this value was chosen to account for fetal examinations. In early trimester ultrasound fetal examinations, there may be a significant fluid path between the transducer and the fetus, and the attenuation of fluid is very small.

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.

Method: 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.
16.2 Maintenance Checks by Service Engineer The following checks must be performed to ensure and maintain system safety and performance. Please contact Mindray Customer Service Department or sales representative to schedule and carry out these checks. Check Category Check Item...
16.3 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. 16.4 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.
Troubleshooting Table Failure Cause Measure After the Abnormal power system Verify that the plug has not power supply or incorrect connection become loosened or is turned on, of the power cord. dislodged from the back of the power the system.
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.
Device Enclosure and Accessories A.2.1 Visual Inspection Test Item Acceptance Criteria No physical damage to the enclosure and accessories. No physical damage to meters, switches, connectors, etc. The enclosure and accessories No residue of fluid spillage (e.g., water, coffee, chemicals, etc.). No loose or missing parts (e.g., knobs, dials, terminals, etc.).
Earth Leakage Test Run an Earth Leakage test on the device being tested before performing any other leakage tests. The following outlet conditions apply when performing the Earth Leakage test. normal polarity (Normal Condition); reverse polarity (Normal Condition); ...
LIMITS For BF applied parts, 100μA in Normal Condition. 500μA in Single Fault Condition. 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.
Appendix B iScanHelper By providing the referential information, such as, the ultrasonic image, the anatomic graphic, scanning pictures/other scanning tips or diagnosis comments, the system helps the doctors to operate the scanning by iScanHelper. Furthermore, it is a good platform for the self- learning and training of ultrasound scanning technique for doctors.

Scanning picture Ordinary scanning tips can be observed here, including posture, probe mark, probe swing/sweep techniques. Scanning tips You can read tissue related anatomical information and adjacent tissue information here. B.4.3 Single/quad-window Display You can zoom in the anatomic graphic, ultrasonic image as well as scanning picture to view those information more conveniently.
Appendix C 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 workflow in common exam protocols in a logical, “step by step” manner.
Screen Display Normal iWorks For automated protocols of vascular, small parts, cardiac, abdomen and gynecology application regions, the monitor displays the following screen: Name Description Displays the protocol name, and the number of views contained; There may be prompt information here to indicate the following operation. The current active view, with green solid frame around the image.
