  • Page 12: Mechanical Safety

    1 Safety Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified ● according to the respective EN/IEC standards (for example, EN/IEC 60950 for data processing equipment and EN/IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all configurations shall comply with the system standards EN/IEC 60601-1. Do not use an endocavitary probe on the body surface of a patient.

  • Page 13: Biohazard Considerations

    1 Safety Only trained physicians or sonographers under ultrasound guidance can handle the ● biopsy needle guides. During the operation, the operator must observe proper needle insertion sequencing with the needle guide to avoid undue discomforts, unnecessary risks or injuries to the patient. Use the legally marketed probe sheath.

    1 Safety 1.3.4 Probe Surface Temperature Limits For probes intended for internal applications, e.g. the endocavitary probe or transesophageal probe, the surface temperature of the probe may change by adjusting system parameters. The maximum surface temperature of the endocavitary probes is 43°C. To protect the animal against the harm of excessive temperature, the probe stops working automatically when its temperature reaches the limit.

  • Page 64 6 Acquiring Images ■  Frequency The probe is capable of receiving a broadband signal with a certain start frequency and a certain bandwidth. A higher frequency brings about higher resolution and lower penetration. To adjust the frequency: Press the function knob to select Frequency. Rotate the function knob to adjust the value.
  • Page 65 6 Acquiring Images ■  Line Density Line density refers to the amount of ultrasound beam that makes up the image. Increasing the value of line density improves the resolution and decreases frame rate. Therefore, you have to balance the frame rate and the image quality when adjusting the line density. A higher line density is useful in obtaining a very high resolution, such as the thyroid or testicles.
