WARNING: 11. Cautions regarding the biopsy procedures
(1) To perform biopsy procedures while observing ultrasound

images, a thorough understanding of ultrasound diagnosis
and adequate training in biopsy procedures are required.
Biopsy procedures are safer when performed using image

observation than when performed without images. However,
100% safety and reliability cannot be assured even when
performing biopsy procedures using image observation.
If biopsy procedures are performed without proper
knowledge or training, they may be performed incorrectly
and cause various patient side effects.
(2) In the situations listed below, the biopsy needle may fail to
reach the target. Incorrect biopsy may cause various patient
side effects.
 A biopsy procedure is performed without adequate skills.

 A biopsy adapter other than that specified is used.
 The biopsy adapter is mounted at an incorrect position.
 A biopsy needle that is unsuitable for the purpose of the
biopsy is used.
 A biopsy needle that is unsuitable for the biopsy adapter
is used.
 The image is frozen but it goes unnoticed, and the biopsy
procedure is continued.
 The position of the biopsy needle end is misinterpreted
on the image.
(3) Before and after a biopsy procedure is performed, confirm

that there are no abnormalities with the biopsy adapter. If an
abnormal biopsy adapter is used, the patient may be injured.
(4) During a biopsy procedure, the needle may deviate from the
desired course due to the tissue characteristics or the type
of needle. In particular, needles with small diameters may
deviate to a greater degree.
Always monitor the target region and the needle end while
performing a biopsy procedure.
(5) Sterilize the transducer and biopsy adapter before and after
an ultrasound-guided biopsy procedure. Failure to do so
may result in the transducer and adapter becoming a source
of infection.
(6) The needle mark displayed on the ultrasound image does

not indicate the actual position of the biopsy needle. It
should only be used as a reference.
(7) Do not freeze the image when performing a biopsy

procedure. Biopsy procedures may be performed
incorrectly on frozen images.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-5
WARNING: (8) Confirm that the selected needle mark angle matches the
angle indicated on the biopsy adapter to be used.
(9) The biopsy target may shift due to unexpected patient

motion when the biopsy needle is inserted, or else due to
respiratory movement. Always monitor the target region and
the needle tip while performing a biopsy procedure.
12. When a transducer is applied to a patient with a high body

temperature, the rate of heat dissipation from the transducer may
be lower than normal. Take care not to cause a burn during
examination (especially during surgery or an intracavitary
examination).
If the surface temperature of the transducer becomes abnormally
high, stop using the transducer and contact your service
representative.
13. Prolonged and repeated use of keyboards can result in hand or

arm nerve disorders in some individuals. Observe the local
institution work safety/health regulations on keyboard use.
14. This system is provided with a lossy data compression function

for images. Although this function helps reduce the size of
stored images, it can cause image deterioration. The amount of
compression, therefore, must be limited so that the image quality
is maintained at a level which does not adversely affect image
viewing.
15. For the safety precautions regarding the use of contrast medium
etc. in CHI mode, refer to the operation manual, Application
volume.
16. Prepare a backup system when an urgent examination is to be

performed, for example during an operation or for an emergency
case. If a severe problem should occur with the system, the
normal operation of the system may not be recovered by turning
the power OFF/ON and the examination may not be able to
continue.
17. Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a
chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
18. This device is contraindicated for ophthalmic use or any

application that causes the acoustic beam to pass through the
eye.
19. Do not use the controls, adjusters, or operating sections of the

DVD/CD unit in a manner other than specified. Incorrect use may
cause hazardous beams to be radiated.

No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-8
CAUTION: (2) The descriptions in this operation manual are based on the
standard switch configuration. If the switch configuration has
been changed, the differences between the current
configuration and the standard configuration must be
understood before use.
9. Back up the stored data (image data and exam history) periodically
and delete unnecessary data. If there is a limited amount of free
space on the hard disk, the time required to display the ultrasound
image after the system power is turned ON increases.
10. Do not turn OFF the power supply of the system during printing,
data saving, or invoking. Doing so may result in failure of saving or
printing or damage to the data. In addition, doing so during access
to media may damage the media.
11. Standby mode
(1) Before setting the system to Standby mode, be sure to save or

print the necessary data. Otherwise, the data will be lost.
(2) Do not set the system to Standby mode during printing, data
saving, or invoking. Doing so may cause an error in these
processes.
(3) In addition, if the system is set to Standby mode during access

to media, the media may be damaged. Furthermore, when used
the next time, the printer or DVD/CD drive will not operate
correctly.
12. Precautions regarding patient information entry
(1) Be sure to register and save the patient ID before starting an

examination for a new patient. If measurement is performed for
a new patient for whom the patient ID is not registered or saved,
the measurement results and other data cannot be saved in the
system. In addition, the data for the two patients are mixed
together, which may result in incorrect diagnosis.
(2) Confirm that the patient to be examined is the same as the

patient ID. There is a possibility of recording images with
incorrect patient IDs.
(3) Enter the patient's height and weight correctly in the patient ID
registration screen. If the entered height and weight are not
correct, the BSA will be calculated incorrectly.
(4) Enter the patient information including LMP and IVF correctly in
the patient ID registration screen. Otherwise, the fetal growth
data will be calculated incorrectly.
(5) Do not enter a patient ID consisting of spaces only. Doing so

will result in reading/writing of data to/from media and DICOM
transfer to other systems being performed incorrectly.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-9
CAUTION: 13. Cautions regarding the presets
(1) When a new imaging preset is to be created, the Exam Type is
displayed automatically as the imaging preset name in the
dialog. Be sure to change it. Otherwise, the examination may
not be started with the factory setting even when "Factory" is
selected in Exam Type registration in the system preset setting
menu (refer to subsection 10.7).
(2) If a change has been made to the system presets, be sure to

turn OFF/ON the system power. Otherwise, the change will not
go into effect.
14. Position of the biopsy target on the image and the biopsy needle
Even though the biopsy target and the biopsy needle are identified
on the image, a biopsy may not always be successful due to
dispersion of the ultrasound beam. This is especially relevant when
a biopsy procedure is to be performed for a tubule or a very small
region.
To avoid biopsy failure, follow the instructions below.
(1) Do not rely solely on the echo of the needle end on the image.
Pay careful attention to the target, which should shift slightly
when the biopsy needle comes into contact with it.
(2) Perform biopsy only after confirming the size of the target and
the likelihood of biopsy success.
15. Precautions regarding the measurements
(1) For basic measurements, the measured data is lost when image
freeze is released or the image mode is changed during
measurement.
(2) The measurement data is lost when the system is turned OFF.
However, the measurement data saved for application
measurements is not lost.
(3) The basic measurement result is not displayed on the report.
(4) On the application measurement result screen, some

calculation results are displayed. To check all the
measurement results (calculation results), perform checks on
the report screen.
(5) The results edited on the report screen are not reflected in the
measurement results on the image display.
(6) When measurement is to be performed in M-mode or Doppler

mode, confirm that the entire screen has been refreshed after
changing the mode or settings. Otherwise, measurement may
not be performed correctly.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-10
CAUTION: 16. Do not display or print the data imported from other devices in this
system. Such data may not be able to be displayed or printed

17. Peripheral units
(1) To prevent electric shock, do not connect the peripheral units

(video printer, VCR, etc.) to an external outlet. Peripheral units
should be connected to the service outlet of the system. For
the connection procedures, contact your TOSHIBA
representative.
(2) Some printers cannot detect print errors. Use the actual
printout to confirm whether the data is printed correctly.
(3) Do not turn OFF the power to the printer during printing. This
may result in system malfunction.
(4) Do not turn the power to peripheral devices ON or OFF during

the system startup or shutdown process. This may result in
system malfunction.
(5) When the system is in Standby mode, do not disconnect any

peripheral unit or turn the power ON/OFF. A malfunction of the
peripheral unit may result.
(6) When printing is executed, do not turn the system power OFF
before all the images are printed. The data in the print queue
may be lost.
(7) When the color printer is to be used for printing, make sure that
its power is ON. If printing is executed when the printer power
is OFF, a system malfunction may result.
18. When an attempt is made to archive images on media or transfer

them with the DICOM protocol, the following dialog may be
displayed.
Sorry. DVD/CD and DICOM storage are not available now.

Please store important images to hard disk.
Please power off and then power on to make them available.
In this case, archiving to media and DICOM transfer cannot be

performed. Store the important images on the hard disk.
If you wish to archive images on media or transfer them with the
DICOM protocol immediately, reboot the system.
19. The free space on the hard disk is displayed at the bottom of the
screen in the format "HDD: xx% Free". Data cannot be saved if the
free space is insufficient. Ensure the required free space before
saving the images.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-11
CAUTION: 20. Frame missing error in recording with the Snapshot Clips function
(1) If the system detects that 4 or more consecutive image frames
are missing, the error message below is displayed and the
images are not recorded. Release the freeze status and acquire
the image again.
"System busy. Failed in Storing the image."
(2) If the system detects that less than 4 consecutive image frames
are missing, the message below is displayed at the bottom of
the monitor. In this case, the images are recorded.
"System busy. Some frames were missing."
21. Acoustic power
(1) The FDA allows ultrasound equipment to output acoustic power

level TRACK3, which is higher than TRACK1, provided that
MI/TI values are displayed on the system. This means that
users have a higher degree of responsibility for safety than
manufacturers. Against this background, users are required to
understand the ultrasound bioeffects and their causes.
(2) It is strictly required that acoustic output be set based on the

ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle.
However, not all examinations can be performed with an
extremely low level of acoustic energy. Controlling the
acoustic level at an extremely low level leads to low-quality
images or insufficient Doppler signals, adversely affecting the
reliability of the diagnosis. However, increasing the acoustic
power more than necessary does not always contribute to an
increase in quality of information required for diagnosis, rather
increasing the risk of generating bioeffects.
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.
(3) Set the ultrasound output as low as possible when a fetus is to

be exposed to ultrasound.
(4) Note that there are switches on the operation panel, the pop up
menu and the touch panel other than the ACOUSTIC POWER,
the MI/TI value may change in a direction not intended for those
switches.
22. If preventive maintenance is performed by the user, special care

must be taken to ensure safety.
23. If any abnormality of the system is found as a result of inspection,

stop using the system and contact your TOSHIBA representative for
repair.
24. In no event shall TOSHIBA be liable for problems, damage, or loss

caused by inspection performed by personnel other than TOSHIBA
service personnel or those designated by TOSHIBA.

No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-23
CAUTION: 14. Exam review
(1) When using a previously acquired image for diagnosis, be
sure to verify the patient ID, the patient name, and the date
and time of image acquisition that are displayed above the
image.
The displayed patient ID and name may not match the

registered ones if the image has been stored in the HDD and
the corresponding patient information has then been edited
using the patient/exam information edit form.
(2) Do not display or print data imported from other devices in

this system. Such data may not be displayed or printed
correctly.
(3) A rather long time may be required to display acquired images

using the Exam Review function. It is recommended that this
function be used when time allows after the patient
examination is completed.
15. 3D display
(1) The horizontal (X-axis direction) and vertical (Y-axis direction)

lengths of the displayed 3D image are based on the body
dimensions calculated in the diagnostic ultrasound system.
(2) The depth (Z-axis direction) of the displayed 3D image is

calculated based on the transducer movement data entered
manually by the operator.
(3) The USFR-770A is not provided with a 3D position sensor.
Quantitative evaluation functions such as measurement

functions are not available for 3D images.
(4) If the manually entered sweep distance or fan angle does not
match the data obtained by actual scanning with the
transducer, 3D image distortion will result. Image distortion
will also occur if scanning using the transducer is not
performed in the same direction at constant speed.
In particular, if 3D acquisition is to be performed with ECG

Sync set to ON, select the timing so that the patient's heart
rate is as stable as possible. In this case, the scan time
becomes longer, and as a result the transducer must be
moved in the same direction at constant speed for a longer
time.
The user can easily identify image distortion due to the above
causes. However, in other cases, it may be difficult to
determine whether the image is distorted.
Therefore, to ensure accurate diagnosis, 3D images must be

used in combination with other types of images.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-24
CAUTION: (5) Be sure to enter the scanning conditions for the transducer
for each examination correctly.
Enter the values for Distance and Angle referring to the

direction of the transducer position marker. If a value with an
incorrect sign (+ or -) is entered, a mirror image will be
generated, possibly leading to misidentification of the region
examined.
(6) The scale mark displayed on a 3D image is for reference only.

Do not use it for measurement.
(7) The color map for CDI or POWER ANGIO VR images is

independent of the color map for other types of CDI or
POWER ANGIO images. Therefore, the coloring may appear
different between these images.
16. Precautions regarding IASSIST
The activities may not operate as intended due to mismatch

between the Work Flow contents and the system operating
conditions (for example, if an attempt is made to perform a mode
transition that is not allowed for the target region or the transducer
used or if an attempt is made to record the data or control the
drive, or VCR unit with no storage media set in the recording
device). In this case, the menu text for the failed activity is
displayed in yellow. Confirm that the proper operating conditions
(target region, transducer to be used, storage media setting, etc.)
have been set before starting a Work Flow.
17. IASSIST controller
(1) The transmission output power of the IASSIST controller uses

weak radiowaves(*) that may affect other electronic
equipment. Avoid using the IASSIST controller within 25 cm
of other electronic equipment.
(*Reference) PHS: 80 mW > Wireless LAN: 20 mW >>
Bluetooth: 2.5 mW
(2) It is possible to change the functions registered to the

switches of the IASSIST controller.
The functions of the switches may therefore differ between

IASSIST controllers. Be sure to confirm the switch functions
before use.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-25
CAUTION: 18. Panoramic View
(1) Quantitative evaluations such as measurements are not
supported in Panoramic View.
(2) Perform scanning in the specified direction using the

transducer. If the transducer scanning direction is changed,
image distortion will result. In addition, image distortion may
be created by deviating from the appropriate scan path.
Panoramic View images must not be used to establish a

definitive diagnosis. They should only be used in
combination with other types of images in order to ensure
accurate diagnosis.
(3) The image to be displayed is a scan line image generated by

passing through the transducer. Note that a curved image is
displayed on the flat surface if the scan line is curved.
(4) When scanning is performed by moving the transducer in a

circular motion (for example, when scanning around the neck
and the Panoramic View display is performed), if there are
overlapped parts in the image field depth, the overlapped
parts cannot be displayed correctly. To prevent image
overlap from occurring, set DEPTH for the image.
(5) When measurement is started in Panoramic View mode, or

is displayed on the screen. These symbols alert the user
that the accuracy of the measurement results obtained in this
mode cannot be ensured. The data obtained for
measurements in Panoramic View mode must be used only
for reference.
19. If the temperature at the transducer end exceeds 43°C while the
TEE transducer is being used, this system operates as follows.
 The system freezes. When the temperature decreases,

scanning is started automatically.
 If after 2 minutes the temperature remains at 43°C or higher, the

system must be restarted.
 While the warning message related to temperature control is

displayed, all switches other than the New Patient, transducer
selection switch, and power switches are disabled.

S-27
CAUTION: 22. 4D
(1) Image distortion may occur depending on the manner in
which the transducer is applied or due to hand instability or
fetal movement. 3D images obtained with 4D must not be
used to establish a definitive diagnosis. In order to ensure
accurate diagnosis, such images should only be used in
combination with other types of images.
(2) When the free space on the hard disk is insufficient, the
following error message is displayed on the monitor and the
data is not saved.
Ensure the required free space before saving the images.
Error message : Data saving is failed. Because of disk full.
(3) The heart rates calculated in STIC mode are estimated values
based on the acquired image data. Do not perform definitive
diagnosis solely using the calculated cardiac rate.
(4) When measurement is started up in STIC mode, or is

displayed on the screen. This alerts the user that the
accuracy of the measurement results obtained in STIC mode
cannot be guaranteed. Use the measurement results only for
reference.
(5) CTAR measurement
<1> When the thoracic area is to be measured in CTAR

measurement, set the measurement start point on the
spine.
If measurement is performed with the start point set at a
location other than the spine, correct measurement
results cannot be obtained.
<2> Do not perform CTAR measurement using a horizontally

flipped image. Correct measurement results cannot be
obtained.

WARNING: This system is provided with a lossy data compression function for
images. Although this function helps reduce the size of stored
images, it can cause image deterioration. The amount of
compression, therefore, must be limited so that the image quality is
maintained at a level which does not adversely affect image viewing.
CAUTION: 1. Display the most suitable image and select the most suitable
measurement tool for the intended measurement. The appropriate
measurement methods and results must be determined by a
specialist.
2. Patient ID registration

(2) Before starting an examination for a new patient, confirm that

the patient ID matches the patent to be examined. Images can
be recorded with an incorrect patient ID.
(3) Enter height, weight, LMP (Last Menstrual Period), IVF (In Vitro
Fertilization date), and other information correctly. When the
function for reusing the information entered for the immediately
preceding examination is used, confirm that these data items
are entered correctly. Otherwise, BSA and fetal growth data will
be calculated incorrectly.
(4) Check the date format before entering the date of birth, LMP
(Last Menstrual Period), or EDD (Estimated Date of Delivery).
(5) Do not enter a patient ID consisting of spaces only. Doing so

will result in reading/writing of data to/from media and DICOM
transfer to other systems being performed incorrectly.

Confirm that the measurement is performed correctly.
4. If the measurement data is not fixed for an application

measurement, the measurement results are not displayed in the
Report.
5. If [Delete] on the touch panel is pressed immediately after

measurement data is fixed, the result for the item that has been
measured most recently is deleted and the item is not displayed on
the Report screen.
6. The basic measurement results are not displayed in the report.
7. Be sure to perform measurement within images. If the area outside

an image is included in a measurement, incorrect diagnosis may
result.
8. Display of heart rate values
(1) In Dual display mode, the heart rate for the most recently frozen
image is displayed. For example, when the image on the left is
frozen most recently, the heart rate for that image is also
displayed on the image on the right.
(2) When a patient with an unstable heartbeat, such as a patient

with atrial fibrillation, is to be examined, enter a heart rate value
using the Manual Input screen.
(3) The heart rate value displayed on the 2D (including color etc.) +
PW/CW screen represents the heart rate obtained at the instant
the PW/CW image is stopped.
For example, when the PW/CW image is stopped by pressing

and then the 2D image is frozen, the displayed heart rate
2D
UPDATE
value represents the heart rate at the time the PW/CW image is
stopped, not at the time the Freeze switch is pressed.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-34
CAUTION: (4) Confirm that the ECG waveform is displayed correctly. If the
ECG waveform is not displayed correctly, an incorrect heart
rate value may be displayed due to noise.
(5) When ECG is not used, turn OFF the ECG monitor. Otherwise,
an incorrect heart rate value may be displayed due to noise
from the ECG monitor.
9. Vascular measurements
The values obtained in Velocity measurement and Velocity Trace

measurement can be deleted but cannot be changed to other
values. In Velocity Trace measurement, more than one value is
obtained in a single tracing procedure. If any one of these values is
deleted by pressing the [Backspace] key followed by the [Enter] key,
the values obtained together with the deleted value are also deleted.
10. TIC measurement
Exercise extreme care when managing data, especially when the

files of two or more patients are stored on a single disk.
11. Precautions regarding ACT measurement
(1) ACT measurement can be performed only when the following

conditions are met.
 2D single display (except for R-wave synchronous images

and images recorded in CHI mode)
 Cine playback images (including at least 3 frames)
(2) The Modified Simpson method is used for volume measurement
calculation. For this measurement, it is necessary to display a
long-axis long-cross sectional image from the cardiac apex
(two-chamber/four-chamber cross-sectional image). (Refer to
subsection 7.2.1 of <<Measurements volume>>).
(3) ACT measurement is assumed to be performed for evaluating

the left ventricular contraction ability.
Depending on the application, perform appropriate setting for

the image to be displayed and use the appropriate transducer.
(4) Noise near the cardiac apex may disable correct automatic
tracing. After automatic tracing, correct the trace line if
required.
(5) Under the influence of the valve and valve underneath

structure, automatic tracing exceeding the target heart chamber
may be performed. After automatic tracing, correct the trace
line if required.
(6) If the frame rate is low, an end-diastole image and end-systole

image may not be acquired within the start and end of
measurement. It is recommended that the frame rate be set to
30 fps or more.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-35
CAUTION: (7) If the valve ring, cardiac apex, and inner wall are not included in
the displayed image, the contour may not be extracted
correctly. Perform adjustment using the DEPTH/ZOOM dial,
GAIN dial, STC volume, and each image quality setting function.
(8) In ACT measurement, the frame range to be measured is

calculated from the heart rate. Obtain the patient's heart rate
correctly from the ECG.
* If the heart rate is not input from the ECG, the calculations
are performed with the heart rate fixed at 60 (bpm).
* If the heart rate is not input from the ECG or the input heart
rate is changed manually, an asterisk (*) is displayed at the
upper right of the heart rate value and cardiac output value.
* Confirm that the ECG waveform is displayed correctly. If the
ECG waveform is not displayed correctly, an incorrect heart
rate value may be displayed due to noise.
(9) The difference between the R-R interval in the two-chamber
cross-sectional image and that in the four-chamber cross-
sectional image is displayed as "ED_ED Diff".
ED_ED Diff = |(R-R interval in the 2-chamber cross-sectional

image)  (R-R interval in the 4-chamber cross-sectional image)|
/ (value of whichever R-R interval is longer)  100 [%]
A caution message is displayed if the calculated value is

greater than the preset "RR Interval Differential Time Limit".
The factory setting for "RR Interval Differential Time Limit" is

10%. The setting should be changed according to the objective
of the examination.
If the ED_ED Diff value is extremely large, it may affect the EDV,
ESV, and EF values that are calculated and displayed as the
Biplane Volume results. The decision as to whether to accept
these values or to perform measurement again should be based
on the results for all of the other items.
12. Obstetric calculations
(1) Enter the correct data for LMP (last menstrual period), IVF (in
vitro fertilization date), CLIN (current date and current
gestational age), and PREV (date of previous examination and
gestational age on that date). Incorrect entry of these
parameters will result in incorrect EDD (estimated date of
delivery) calculation.
The date and GA entered for CLIN or PREV are used to
calculate LMP and GA, which are then used for measurement.
(2) Be sure to record the EDD (Estimated Date of Delivery) and the
measurement data in the patient's medical records.
Although these data can be stored in the system together with
the patient ID and name using the SAVE function, they should
also be stored in the patient's medical records because data
stored in the system may be lost if there is a system failure.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-36
CAUTION: (3) Obstetric calculation data cannot be stored in the system or
updated unless the patient ID is entered.
(4) Use the correct Exam Type (OB, Endo-Vaginal, or Fetal Heart) to
perform the obstetric calculations. If an incorrect Exam Type is
used, the obstetric calculation data cannot be stored in the
system or updated.
(5) Do not reach a diagnosis based only on the current measured

data and calculation results displayed on the report screen.
The diagnosis must always be based on an overall clinical
evaluation of the patient including past examination results
recorded on the patient's medical record.
(6) When the system date is changed, be sure to enter the patient
information again in the patient ID registration window.
Otherwise, the gestational ages and the trend graphs cannot be
displayed correctly.
(7) Measurements may be incorrect depending on the fetal

position. Do not reach a diagnosis based only on the measured
data and calculation results obtained using the measured data.
The diagnosis must always be based on an overall clinical
evaluation of the patient.
(8) Several fetal growth measurement methods are available.

Select the most appropriate method for the patient based on the
clinical judgment of a specialist.
(9) OB measurement for up to quadruplets is possible. Be careful

not to confuse the fetuses when measuring the fetal growth.
(10) The Fetus ID is displayed in the measurement window, on the

report screen, and on the Trend Graph. Confirm the fetus ID
when performing diagnosis.
(11) For items that are calculated based on two or more

measurement results, the item label and the calculation result
are not displayed on the screen or in the report, unless all the
items required for calculation are measured. The measurement
items required for calculation and the calculation result display
range of some items differ according to the author. Therefore,
if another author is selected after measurement, the result may
not be displayed.
(12) The results of the last three measurements are stored in the OB
calculations. When more than three measurements have been
executed, the oldest result is overwritten with the new one.
These results can be checked using the report function.
(13) If "Mean of Measurements" is selected for the "Measurement

Value Display Method" in Meas Report in Application Preset,
the mean of the last three measurement is displayed in the
report. If only one measurement has been executed, the result
of the measurement is displayed in the Mean field.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-37
CAUTION: (14) If "Most Recent Measurement" is selected for the
"Measurement Value Display Method" in Meas Report in
Application Preset, only the most recent measurement result is
displayed in the report.
(15) When two or more measurements have been executed for a

single item, be sure to check each measurement result using
the report function. If an unexpected value is measured, it will
affect the mean.
(16) Deviations from the normal values of the measurement results

must be judged based on the trend graphs and literature.
(17) To calculate the gestational age and estimated fetal weight

correctly from the measurement result, it is necessary to
specify the author of the GA calculation method to be used and
the EFW calculation method. Refer to section 2 "Setting the
Presets" of <<Measurements volume>> for details.
When performing OB measurement for multiple pregnancies, be
sure to confirm the fetus ID on the touch panel, measurement
window, Report screen, and Trend Graph to prevent confusion
between fetuses.
(18) The maximum GA that can be handled by the system is 45

weeks and 0 days. If GA exceeds 45 weeks and 0 days, it is not
displayed on the report or trend graph.
(19) CTAR measurement
<1> When the thoracic area is to be measured in CTAR

measurement, set the measurement start point on the
spine.
If measurement is performed with the start point set at a
location other than the spine, correct measurement results
cannot be obtained.
<2> Do not perform CTAR measurement using a horizontally

flipped image. Correct measurement results cannot be
obtained.
(20) When the "Weeks of Pregnancy" function is used, LMP is not

calculated if GA has not been calculated in the most recent
measurement.
If IVF etc. is entered as obstetrical date information, LMP is
calculated based on the GA and the entered date is replaced
with the calculated LMP.
EDD is calculated by adding 280 days to LMP. If GA exceeds 40
weeks and 0 days, EDD is displayed as a date earlier than the
examination date.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-38
CAUTION: (21) If a result for a measurement item is deleted in the report edit
window with "Most Recent" selected, the result of the directly
preceding measurement is displayed.
If all the results for a measurement item are deleted in the
report edit window, the measurement item and the calculation
results obtained using the measured value are all deleted
automatically.
To redisplay the deleted values, the item must be measured
again. Before saving the contents of the report edit window,
confirm that the necessary data has not been deleted.
(22) Check the date format to be displayed on the report screen.
(23) If a result for a measurement item is deleted in the report edit

window, the measurement item, the mean of the item, and the
calculation results obtained using the measurement value (or
mean) are all deleted automatically.
To redisplay these values, the item must be measured again.
Before saving the contents of the report edit window, confirm
that the necessary data has not been deleted.
When entering calculation items or editing the measurement
data, be sure to enter the values and units correctly.
(24) The OB Doppler measurement results can be deleted using the

[BS] and [Enter] keys but cannot be edited. Since more than
one measurement value is obtained in a single tracing
procedure, deleting a single value also deletes the values
measured at the same time as the deleted one.
(25) If a result for a measurement item is deleted in the report edit

window, the result of the directly preceding measurement is
displayed.
If all the results for a measurement item are deleted in the
report edit window, the measurement item and the calculation
results obtained using the measured value are all deleted
automatically.
To redisplay the deleted values, the item must be measured
again. Before saving the contents of the report edit window,
confirm that the necessary data has not been deleted.
(26) Measurement or calculation data cannot be saved unless a

patient ID is registered for the patient. Be sure to register the
patient ID before starting measurement.
(27) Make sure that no unexpected value is displayed on the report

screen before saving the data.
(28) The measured value for some items displayed on the Report
screen can be edited, provided that the examination has not yet
been completed. Once the examination for the patient is
completed, however, editing of measured values is impossible.
Confirm the results on the report before saving the data. The
values displayed in black in the gray boxes are editable.
(29) When data saving is repeated on the report screen for the same
examination, the previously saved data is overwritten. Check
the data before overwriting the previous data.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-39
CAUTION: (30) If the patient information (patient ID, patient name, birth date, or
sex) for previously saved exam data is changed, the system
cannot identify the exam data for the patient and it displays a
confirmation dialog before plotting the past exam data in the
trend graph.
Confirm that the input data is correct before starting
examination.
If it is obvious that the patient information has been edited,

select [OK] to plot the data in the trend graph.
The exam data itself cannot be edited and this confirmation
dialog will therefore appear each time an attempt is made to
plot the exam data for which patient information has been
changed in the trend graph.
(31) If the EFW calculation method used for the previous data is
different from the EFW calculation method used for the current
data, the previous data is not plotted on the graph.
Even though the previous data can be plotted by changing the
author of the graph to match the author used for the previous
data, the EFW for the current data is not plotted if this done.
Do not change the EFW calculation method in examinations for
the same patient.
(32) Three curves are displayed on the Trend Graph screen for fetal
growth measurement. The middle curve corresponds to the
mean, while the other two curves represent ±percentiles or ±SD.
When five curves are displayed, the middle curve corresponds
to the mean, while the other four curves represent ±SD.
When only one curve is displayed, it is the mean curve. The
legend for the displayed curves is shown on the screen.
(33) When the report is displayed in Mean mode, the mean value is
plotted for the current examination data (CURRENT).
When the report is displayed in Most Recent mode, the most
recent value displayed in the report is plotted for the current
examination data (CURRENT).
(34) When Mean mode is selected, the label "Averaged" is displayed

below "CURRENT" in the legend for the plotted data. This label
is not displayed in Most Recent mode.
Whether "Averaged" is displayed or not depends on the mode
of the current examination. This label does not represent the
mode in which the previous data (PREV) was saved.
13. User-registered measurement functions
(1) Toshiba shall not be held liable for results obtained with user-
registered functions.
(2) The data registered in the user-programmed measurements will
not be included in future upgraded systems or subsequent
models.
(3) Use the user-registered measurements only after
understanding the contents. Refer to subsection 13.4 of
<<Measurements volume>> for the procedure for checking the
contents of the user-registered measurements.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-40
CAUTION: 14. OB measurement user chart registration
(1) Toshiba shall not be held liable for results obtained with the OB
measurement user chart registration function.
(2) The data registered in the OB measurement user chart will not
be included in future upgraded systems or subsequent models.
(3) Use the OB measurement packages only after understanding

the registered data.
* Refer to subsection 14.2 of <<Measurements volume>> for

details.
(4) Use the OB measurement user charts only after understanding

the registered data.
* Refer to subsection 14.9 of <<Measurements volume>> for

details.
15. Measurements on a stored image
(1) Display the most suitable image and select the most suitable
measurement tool for the intended measurement. The
appropriate measurement methods and results must be
determined by a specialist.
(2) It is also possible to perform measurement using an image on

which measurement has been performed during examination
and to print the image with the results of the two
measurements. In the case of black-and-white printing, the
caliper and measurement results for the first measurement may
be confused with those for the second measurement. To
prevent such confusion in later image viewing on printed
images, take appropriate measures such as placing an
identification mark at the head of the results of the first
measurement.
(3) Do not use 3D images or panoramic View images for

measurement.
(4) In manual calibration, the information on the stored image is

used to set the information required for measurement.
Accordingly, the measurement results will depend on the
values set on the stored image. Errors in the settings will affect
the measurement results and the measurement accuracy is
lower than in measurements using images acquired during
examination. Accordingly, the accuracy of measurement
results may be lower than that of standard measurements. In
the worst case, the error after calibration can be 5% for an
object that is 100 mm in length in measurements using ER
images and 10% in measurements using images recorded in
the video recording unit. For details, refer to subsection 15.6 of
<<Measurements volume>>. Use the manual calibration
function only after understanding its characteristics
thoroughly.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-41
CAUTION: (5) In manual calibration, the accuracy of the scale setting used for
measurement affects the accuracy of the measurement results
as described in (4) above. To increase the accuracy of the
scale setting, the calibration marker should be set using the
scale graduations as reference. For example, align the center
lines of the calibration marker handles with the graduations.
(6) Do not perform measurements on images recorded in the video

recording unit that were acquired with a system other than
Xario.
(7) The scale and graduations may not be seen clearly depending
on when the playback is paused. In this case, pause the
playback again at a timing at which the scale and graduations
are clearly seen and then start calibration.
(8) Confirm the unit before entering the value of the calibration
marker.
16. Auto Range function for Doppler waveform tracing
The Doppler waveform tracing result may be unsatisfactory,

depending on the conditions (for example, the Doppler waveform
displayed on the monitor may not be stable or may contain
significant noise).
Before pressing [SET] on the operating panel to accept the

measurement results, confirm that Doppler waveform tracing has
been performed correctly.
If the automatic trace results are not satisfactory, select [Range],

specify the trace range, and perform measurement again. Or, select
[Continuous Trace], trace the waveform manually, and perform
measurement again.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-42
CAUTION: 1. The user can record ID registration and user registrations (with a function to
permit user-specific items such as the hospital name to be registered). Be sure
to back up such information on external storage media. Data stored in the
system may be lost due to improper operation or an accident.
2. Only some of the measurement results are displayed on the application

measurement result screen. To display all of the measurement results including
calculation results, use the report screen.
3. Display of measurement results obtained using the IMT tool or Thickness tool
(1) When "Double Digits" is selected for Thickness [IMT] Precision in the
preset menu and measurement is performed using the IMT tool or
Thickness tool, the measurement value is displayed to two decimal places.
However, it may not be possible to obtain a value that is accurate to two
decimal places depending on the characteristics of the image.
(2) Keeping the above point in mind, use the measurement and calculation
values displayed to two decimal places only for reference purposes.
(3) In the MDA, a single quotation mark (') is added to the measurement
values and the calculation results obtained based on the measurement
values.
Limitations: Marks can be moved in steps of 1 pixel on the screen. Due

to the resolution of ultrasound images, this does not
correspond to an indicated value change of 0.01. Thus, the
indicated value changes in increments of greater than 0.01
as a mark is moved.
4. Time Intensity Curve (TIC) measurements
(1) If the measurement ROI is set including the area outside the image, the
correct measurement result cannot be obtained.
(2) When TIC measurement is performed in Dynamic Flow mode or Power

Angio mode, only the intensity data for blood flow is used for calculation.
The intensity data for tissue is not used for calculation.
(3) To perform TIC measurement, it is necessary to specify the start and end
frames for acquiring the intensity information of the cine image.
If the number of cine image frames exceeds 1024, the message "Memory
is insufficient to measure. Please measure within 1024 image frame." is
displayed and TIC measurement cannot be performed. If the number of
frames is 1024 or less but the volume of data corresponding to the
specified frames exceeds the available system memory, the message
"Memory allocate error" is displayed and TIC measurement cannot be
performed.
In these cases, reduce the number of frames for performing TIC

measurement.
The amount of memory available varies depending on the system status.

When TIC measurement is performed for the first time, approximately 1000
frames can be set.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-43
CAUTION: (4) If the image is reduced after measurement, color image quality adjustment
functions such as Power-DR are disabled. When ROI operation is started,
the image returns to the normal display size and color image quality
adjustment becomes possible.
When the color image quality has been adjusted, the intensity data is
changed, and therefore measurement must be performed again by
pressing [Start] on the touch panel.
(5) When the TIC measurement graph is output using a monochrome printer, it
may be difficult to identify the TIC curve.
5. User-registered measurement functions
(1) Setting the unit here does not set the unit to be used for calculation.
Set the unit when entering the calculation formula so that the unit to be
used for calculation matches the displayed unit.
(2) A dialog is displayed during registration of a user-registered measurement.

Do not operate the panel while this dialog is displayed.
(3) When an OB measurement user chart is registered to a 2D measurement

item using a table and data is to be set on both the Type (FG) and Type
(GA) pages, the same value must be set for the same GA. If the value for
a GA differs between these two pages and the Week function is used to
calculate GA based on the data set on the Type (GA) page, the calculated
GA is not plotted at the Mean position on the trend graph that is created
based on the data set on the Type (FG) page.
6. Saving of measurement data
(1) When [Send (DICOM)] is selected, the data is saved onto the HDD and at
the same time can be transferred to the server or media.
(2) If data transfer fails, a warning message is displayed in a blue window on

the monitor. In this case, transfer the data again using the Job Status
function of the Patient Browser after the examination is completed.
(3) The patient ID must be entered to save the measurement data. Be sure to
enter the patient ID on the Patient Information screen before starting
examination.
(4) When measurement is performed on saved images (such as video images

and Exam Review images), it is not possible to save the measurement
data in the DICOM format.
In such cases, [Send (DICOM)] is not displayed on the Report screen.
7. When the measurement data is to be stored in the server as DICOM SR, leave
the unit field blank or select one of the existing units in the Manual Input tool
and also for the calculation items.
* Items for which an arbitrary unit is set cannot be stored in the server.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
S-44
CAUTION: 8. Auto-IMT measurement display
(1) When Double Digits is selected for Auto IMT Precision in the preset menu
and measurement is performed using the Auto-IMT tool, the measurement
value is displayed to two decimal places. However, depending on the
characteristics of the image, it may not be possible to obtain an accurate
value within 1/100.
(2) When Three Digits is selected for Auto IMT Precision in the preset menu
and measurement is performed using the Auto-IMT tool, the measurement
value is displayed to three decimal places. However, depending on the
characteristics of the image, it may not be possible to obtain an accurate
value within 1/1000.
(3) Keeping the above points (1) and (2) in mind, use the measurement and
calculation values only for reference purposes.
(4) In the MDA, a single quotation mark (') is added to the measurement
values and calculation results obtained based on the measurement values.
Limitations: Marks can be moved in steps of 1 pixel on the screen.

Due to the resolution of ultrasound images, this does not
correspond to an indicated value change of 0.01/0.001.
Thus, the indicated value changes in increments of greater
than 0.01/0.001 as a mark is moved.
9. Read the precautions regarding the use of this system described in the
<<Fundamentals>> and <<Applications>> volumes.

1. Intended Use, Operating
Principles, and Specifications
1.1 Intended Use
(1) The intended use of this system is to visualize structures, characteristics, and
dynamic processes within the human body using ultrasound and to provide image
information for diagnosis.
(2) This system provides high-quality ultrasound images in all its modes of 2D mode,
M mode, CDI (Color Doppler Imaging) mode (blood-flow imaging), and Doppler
mode (blood-flow spectrum).
(3) This system is a general-purpose diagnostic ultrasound imaging system. This

system conforms to Real Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Output Indices
on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment. Transducers have their own characteristic
applications. For the transducers that can be used with this system and their
applications, refer to subsection 2.6 "List of Available Transducers".
1.2 Operating Principles

The SSA-660A transmits ultrasound signals into the human body from a transducer and
receives the reflected echoes from the human body using the same transducer. It then
processes the received signals and displays them as images on a display screen (CRT
monitor or LCD monitor).
Gating signals are sent from the scan control circuit through the transmission delay
circuit and are input to the reception circuit. The reception circuit then generates the
transmission signals (electrical pulses) according to the gating signals.
These electrical pulses are applied to piezoelectric elements that convert the electrical
signals into mechanical vibrations in the transducer. These mechanical vibrations,
which are ultrasound signals, are then transmitted into the human body.
The SSA-660A supports convex, sector, linear, and some other scanning techniques.
When the ultrasound signals transmitted into the human body encounter a substance
with different acoustic characteristics, they are reflected and return to the transducer as
echoes. Based on the time required for the ultrasound signals to return to the
transducer, the distance between the transducer surface and the reflecting substance
can be determined.
In 2D (B) mode imaging, the echo amplitudes are represented as brightness changes
on the image display screen. Since the ultrasound beam attenuates in tissue, the
degree of amplification required generally increases as depth increases. Regions of
high reflection are displayed as brighter, while regions of low reflection appear darker.
An M-mode image (cross-sectional image) can be displayed together with a 2D-mode

image on the same screen through time-sharing control, allowing the user to perform
M-mode diagnosis while observing a 2D-mode image.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
1-1
In color Doppler imaging, phase detection is performed in a receive signal processing
circuit to obtain I and Q signals. These signals undergo frequency analysis with the
correlational method in a color Doppler imaging circuit to produce the mean velocity,
variance, and power information of the blood flow. These information items are
assigned color signals and represented as real-time two-dimensional color Doppler
images.
In Doppler imaging, the signals output from the receive signal processing board are
frequency-analyzed by fast Fourier transform (FFT) in a Doppler circuit to produce
velocity and power information. A Doppler image is then displayed, plotting velocity on
the vertical axis, time on the horizontal axis, and representing power as brightness.
The SSA-660A supports basic measurements including distance, time, angle, and trace,
as well as combinations of some basic measurements. In addition, calculations based
on the measurement values can be performed for each region (circulatory organ, OB,
etc.) using widely accepted expressions. The calculation results can be displayed in
values, tables, or graphs.

NOTE: Auto-data display for CDI/MCDI dual display
In CDI/MCDI mode, the values related to images are automatically

displayed on both the CDI image and the MCDI image (auto-data
display).
The most recently adjusted settings of the image are reflected in this
value.
For example, when the CDI image is a real-time image and the MCDI
image is a frozen image, if the settings of the CDI image are changed,
the auto-data for the frozen MCDI image is also changed. The value
differs from the setting value at the time of freezing the MCDI image.
When saving images, pay attention to this.

NOTE: Real-time Doppler Auto Trace function
1. Before using results of Real-time Doppler Auto Trace for diagnosis,

confirm that the auto-traced line and traced points such as maximum
point and minimum point are appropriate.
2. Make sure that no aliasing is present in the Doppler waveform before

Real-time Doppler auto tracing is performed. Aliasing can be
eliminated by adjusting the baseline and the Doppler scale.
3. The performance of the Real-time Doppler Auto Trace function

depends on the Doppler image quality. Tracing may not be performed
properly depending on the Doppler waveform.
4. The trace line is discontinued at the point where it crosses the

baseline, but it does not affect the measurement result.
5. Real-time Doppler Auto Trace detects the border between the noise
and the signal, not the displayed Doppler waveform. Accordingly, the
trace does not change even if post-processing such as change of the
dynamic range is performed after freezing.
6. If the number of Doppler waveforms recognized on the screen is lower

than that of the Beat setting, the maximum number of waveforms
displayed on the screen are used.

13. Display of Reference Signals
Electrocardiographic (ECG) and phonocardiographic (PCG) reference signals can be
displayed during 2D-mode display, M-mode display, and M+2D mode display. This
function is optional.
WARNING: 1. To prevent electric shock, check the following items

before operation.
 There must be no abnormality of the reference signal

cable.
 The reference signal cable must be connected
correctly.
2. Connect the reference signal cable to the system before

attaching the ECG electrodes to the patient. After the
electrodes are attached to the patient, be careful not to
allow them to come into contact with ground or other
electrically live parts. If the reference signal cable
connector or an electrode comes into contact with
ground or other electrically live parts, the patient may
receive an electric shock.
3. Do not place the ECG electrodes in direct contact with the

patient's heart. Cardiac arrest may occur.
* The ECG electrodes are of the BF type and are not
designed to be placed in direct contact with the heart.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock or burns, use only the

cable and patient leads supplied with the reference signal
unit (UJUR-660A).
5. The ECG electrodes used should be commercially

available products provided by the customer.
6. Before using equipment such as an electric scalpel, high-

frequency therapy equipment, an electro stimulator, or a
defibrillator, remove the ECG electrodes from the patient.
In addition, do not allow ultrasound transducers, a PCG
microphone, a respiratory sensor, or a pulse sensor to
come into contact with the patient. The patient may be
burned or receive an electric shock.
CAUTION: The displayed reference signals should be used for reference

only. They should not be used for diagnosis or monitoring. In
patients with cardiac pacemakers, an implantable electro
stimulator, or arrhythmia, the heart rate or other parameters
may not be displayed correctly.

16. Needle Mark Display
This system can display the needle mark for the specified biopsy adapter on the screen.
Biopsy procedures must be performed with extreme care to prevent the induction of
tissue necrosis, neurological disorders, infectious diseases, and other such problems.
The clinical technique should be determined after consultation with the specialists
concerned.
WARNING: 1. To perform biopsy procedures while observing

ultrasound images, a thorough understanding of
ultrasound diagnosis and adequate training in biopsy
procedures are required.
Biopsy procedures are safer when performed using

image observation than when performed without images.
However, 100% safety and reliability cannot be assured
even when performing biopsy procedures using image
observation.
If biopsy procedures are performed without proper
knowledge or training, they may be performed incorrectly
and cause various patient side effects.
2. In the situations listed below, the biopsy needle may fail

to reach the target. Incorrect biopsy may cause various
patient side effects.
 A biopsy procedure is performed without adequate

skills.
 A biopsy adapter other than that specified is used.
 The biopsy adapter is mounted at an incorrect

position.
 A biopsy needle that is unsuitable for the purpose of

the biopsy is used.
 A biopsy needle that is unsuitable for the biopsy

adapter is used.
 The image is frozen but it goes unnoticed, and the

biopsy procedure is continued.
 The position of the biopsy needle end is

misinterpreted on the image.
3. Before and after a biopsy procedure is performed,

confirm that there are no abnormalities with the biopsy
adapter. If an abnormal biopsy adapter is used, the
patient may be injured.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
16-1
WARNING: 4. During a biopsy procedure, the needle may deviate from
the desired course due to the tissue characteristics or the
type of needle. In particular, needles with small
diameters may deviate to a greater degree.
Always monitor the target region and the needle end

while performing a biopsy procedure.
5. Sterilize the transducer and biopsy adapter before and

after an ultrasound-guided biopsy procedure. Failure to
do so may result in the transducer and adapter becoming
a source of infection.
6. The needle mark displayed on the ultrasound image does

not indicate the actual position of the biopsy needle. It
should only be used as a reference.
7. Do not freeze the image when performing a biopsy

procedure. Biopsy procedures may be performed
incorrectly on frozen images.
8. Confirm that the selected needle mark angle matches the

angle indicated on the biopsy adapter to be used.
9. The biopsy target may shift due to unexpected patient

motion when the biopsy needle is inserted, or else due to
respiratory movement. Always monitor the target region
and the needle tip while performing a biopsy procedure.
CAUTION: Position of the biopsy target on the image and the biopsy
needle
Even though the biopsy target and the biopsy needle are
identified on the image, a biopsy may not always be successful
due to dispersion of the ultrasound beam. This is especially
relevant when a biopsy procedure is to be performed for a
tubule or a very small region.
To avoid biopsy failure, follow the instructions below.
1. Do not rely solely on the echo of the needle end on the

image. Pay careful attention to the target, which should shift
slightly when the biopsy needle comes into contact with it.
2. Perform biopsy only after confirming the size of the target

and the likelihood of biopsy success.

21. Using MI/TI
21.1 Using MI/TI (Outside the USA and Canada)
21.1.1 Basic knowledge of MI/TI
(1) Concerns with bioeffects
Diagnostic ultrasound is recognized as being safe. In fact, there have been no

reports of injuries to patients caused by diagnostic ultrasound.
It cannot be stated categorically that ultrasound is 100% safe. Studies have
revealed that ultrasound with extremely high intensity is harmful to body tissues.
This rapid advance has generated concerns about the potential risk of bioeffects
when new applications or diagnostic technologies become available.
(2) Mechanical effects and thermal effects
Studies have revealed that two different kinds of ultrasound characteristics affect
human bodies: one is the mechanical effects due to cavitation generated when
the negative pressure of ultrasound exceeds a certain limit, and the other is the
effects due to thermal energy generated when tissues absorb ultrasound. The
levels of these two kinds of effects are represented by indices: the MI (Mechanical
Index) and the TI (Thermal Index), respectively.
(3) MI/TI values
The smaller the MI/TI values, the less the bioeffects.
(4) Controlling the ultrasound output
In 1976, the FDA in the U.S.A. established limits to the acoustic output level for
diagnostic ultrasound equipment (TRACK1), along with the rapid advance in
diagnostic ultrasound technology, and the versatile proliferation of its applications,
in order to ensure the safety of patients. Thereinafter, manufacturers were
required to control the acoustic output level below the limits, when releasing new
diagnostic ultrasound systems on the market.
NOTE: Ispta.3 may be represented as Izpta, ( = 0.3dB/cm-MHz) or Ispta,

( = 0.3dB/cm-MHz) (IEC60601-2-37).

With this trend, control of the level of acoustic power has been transferred from
manufacturers to users.
CAUTION: The FDA allows ultrasound equipment to output acoustic

power level TRACK3, which is higher than TRACK1,
provided that MI/TI values are displayed on the system.
This means that users have a higher degree of
responsibility for safety than manufacturers. Against this
background, users are required to understand the
ultrasound bioeffects and their causes.
(5) ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable)
It is required to practice ALARA when using ultrasound energy. Practicing ALARA

ensures that the total energy level is controlled below a low enough level at which
bioeffects are not generated while diagnostic information is being accumulated.
The total energy is controlled by output intensity and total radiation time. The
output intensity necessary for examinations differs depending on the patient and
the clinical case.
CAUTION: It is strictly required that acoustic output be set based on

the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle.
images or insufficient Doppler signals, adversely affecting
the reliability of the diagnosis. However, increasing the
acoustic power more than necessary does not always
contribute to an increase in quality of information required
for diagnosis, rather increasing the risk of generating
bioeffects.
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.

21.1.2 MI/TI display description
(1) Definition of MI
Mechanical Index (MI) is the peak-rarefactional acoustic pressure Pr, (calculated

considering the tissue attenuation;  = 0.3 dB/cm-MHz) divided by the square root
of the acoustic working frequency fawf (unit: MHz) and can be expressed as follows:
MI = Pr,  ,
fawf  CMI
where CMI = 1 (MPa / MHz )
(2) Definition of TI
Thermal Index (TI) is the ratio of total acoustic power to the acoustic power
required to raise tissue temperature by 1 degree centigrade under defined
assumptions.
TIS (Thermal Index Soft Tissue) is related to heating in abdominal, cardiac and
peripheral vascular applications.
TIB (Thermal Index Bone) is related to bone heating, which may be of particular
importance in fetal applications.
TIC (Thermal Index Cranial) is related to heating in adult cephalic applications.
(3) Displayed MI/TI values
Accuracy
The MI and TI values are determined and displayed based on the measured
acoustic power data. The displayed values contain errors due to the following
factors.
* Measurement error in acoustic power measurement

* Variation in the characteristics of the system and transducer
* Ultrasound propagation characteristics
Display Precision is rounded in units of 0.1.
The MI and TI values are displayed only when the value is 0.4 or higher.
In CHI mode, however, the MI value is displayed in steps of 0.01 irrespective of the
displayed value.
21.1.3 Parameters affecting the MI/TI values

The MI/TI values are affected by transmission conditions (focus, drive frequency,
voltage applied to piezoelectric elements, etc.), scan conditions, and settings of the
main panel, and preset menu.

21.1.4 Operating procedures for MI/TI
The control of ultrasound output and the most useful switches for this purpose are

output, turn the knob clockwise.
(2) Setting the defaults for ACOUSTIC POWER
Selection of diagnostic applications is the most important factor for controlling

ultrasound output.
The permissible level of intensity of ultrasound differs depending on the region of
interest. For fetal examinations, in particular, much care must be exercised. For
this reason, the switch must be used to reset the parameters for each new
patient, and the Preset menu must be used to select the settings appropriate for
each new region of interest.
In this system, imaging presets can be created using the ultrasound output set by
the user. At this time, the default function is disabled.
Any changes to the default setting value are the responsibility of the user.

21.1.8 Ultrasonic output power and acoustic output
(1) Derated Ultrasonic Output Parameters
In order to determine the relevant Ultrasonic Output Parameters, a method is used

which allows for the comparison of ultrasound systems which operate at different
frequencies and are focused at different depths. This approach, called "derating"
or "attenuating", adjusts the acoustic output as measured in a water tank to
account for the effect of ultrasound propagation through tissue. By convention, a
specific average intensity attenuation value is used, which corresponds to a loss of
0.3 dB/cm/MHz. That is, the intensity of ultrasound will be reduced by 0.3 dB/MHz
for every centimeter of travel from the transducer. This can be expressed by the
following equation:
Iatten  Iwater x 10( 0.3 / 10  fc  z )
Where Iatten is the attenuated intensity, Iwater is the intensity measured in a water tank
(at distance z), fc is the center frequency of the ultrasound wave (as measured in
water), and z is the distance from the transducer. The equation for attenuating
pressure values is similar except that the attenuation coefficient is 0.15 dB/cm/MHz,
or one-half the intensity coefficient. The intensity coefficient is double the pressure
coefficient because intensity is proportional to the square of pressure.
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. Therefore the attenuation coefficient was lowered to account for
this case.
(2) Acoustic Output Limits
The derating (or attenuated) approach was incorporated into the FDA Acoustic
Output Limits, as listed below. The acoustic output level is designed to fall below
these limits.

(3) Differences between displayed and "actual" Thermal and Mechanical effects
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.
They serve to indicate to the operator whether a particular setting of the system
increases or decreases the possibility of Thermal or Mechanical effect. More
specifically, they were designed to assist in the implementation of the ALARA
principle (see subsection 21.1.7). As an operator changes a given system control
(see subsection 21.1.6), the potential effect of the change in output will be
indicated. However, the Thermal Index is not the same as temperature rise in the
body, for several reasons. First of all, in order to provide a single display index to
the user, a number of simplifying assumptions had to be made. The biggest
assumption was the use of the attenuating formula described above, which is much
lower that the actual value for most tissues within the body. Scanning through
muscle or organ tissue, for example, will produce much higher attenuation than
0.3 dB/cm/MHz. There were also significant simplifications made for the thermal
properties of tissue. Therefore, scanning through highly perfused tissue, such as
the heart or vasculature, will produce significantly less thermal effect than that
suggested by the Thermal Index.
Similarly, the Mechanical Index was derived to indicate the relative possibility of
mechanical (cavitation) effects. The MI is based on the derated peak rarefactional
pressure and the center frequency of the ultrasound wave (see subsection 21.2.2).
The actual peak rarefactional pressure is affected by the actual attenuation caused
by tissue in the path between the transducer and the focal point. Again, all solid
tissues within the body have higher attenuation than the proscribed 0.3 dB/cm/MHz
value, and therefore, the actual peak rarefactional pressure will be lower. Further,
the actual peak rarefactional pressure will change depending upon the region of
the body being scanned.
For these reasons, the TI and MI displays should only be used to assist the
operator in implementing ALARA at the time of the patient examination.

21.2.5 Output display

This system displays thermal and mechanical indices in real-time. The display
conforms to the "Standard for Real-Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Output
Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment", which is the voluntary standard of AIUM
(American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine) and NEMA (National Electrical
Manufacturers Association).
The display is intended to give the user information related to the likelihood of bioeffects
from tissue/bone heating (TI) and cavitation (MI). The user should practice ALARA (As
Low As Reasonably Achievable) with respect to these indices.
The absolute maximum acoustic intensity with any transducer/system combination will
remain below the FDA (Federal Food and Drug Administration) limit of 720 mW/cm2,
Ispta and either 1.9 MI or 190 W/cm2, Isppa.
For additional information on bioeffects beyond that contained in this labeling, contact
your Toshiba representative. As further information becomes available on the potential
for bioeffects, these displays may change.
Information from AIUM is included in the operational information for MI and TI. You are
strongly encouraged to become familiar with this information and to understand the
potential for bioeffects. Always practice ALARA and avoid unnecessary use of
ultrasound.

21.2.10 Ultrasonic output power and acoustic output
(1) Derated Ultrasonic Output Parameters
In order to determine the relevant Ultrasonic Output Parameters, a method is used

which allows for the comparison of ultrasound systems which operate at different
frequencies and are focused at different depths. This approach, called "derating"
or "attenuating", adjusts the acoustic output as measured in a water tank to
account for the effect of ultrasound propagation through tissue. By convention, a
specific average intensity attenuation value is used, which corresponds to a loss of
0.3 dB/cm/MHz. That is, the intensity of ultrasound will be reduced by 0.3 dB/MHz
for every centimeter of travel from the transducer. This can be expressed by the
following equation:
Iatten  Iwater x 10( 0.3 / 10  fc  z )
Where Iatten is the attenuated intensity, Iwater is the intensity measured in a water tank
(at distance z), fc is the center frequency of the ultrasound wave (as measured in
water), and z is the distance from the transducer. The equation for attenuating
pressure values is similar except that the attenuation coefficient is 0.15 dB/cm/MHz,
or one-half the intensity coefficient. The intensity coefficient is double the pressure
coefficient because intensity is proportional to the square of pressure.
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. Therefore the attenuation coefficient was lowered to account for
this case.
(2) Acoustic Output Limits
The derating (or attenuated) approach was incorporated into the FDA Acoustic
Output Limits, as listed below. The acoustic output level is designed to fall below
these limits.
FDA Maximum Acoustic Output Limits for Track 3 (Attenuated Values)

Application 2 2 MI
(mW/cm ) (W/cm )

(except eyes)
In addition, the TI (TIS, TIB and TIC) is designed not to exceed 6.0.
No. 2B771-050EN*G
21-18
(3) Differences between displayed and "actual" Thermal and Mechanical effects
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.
They serve to indicate to the operator whether a particular setting of the system
increases or decreases the possibility of Thermal or Mechanical effect. More
specifically, they were designed to assist in the implementation of the ALARA
principle (see section 21.2.9). As an operator changes a given system control (see
section 21.2.7), the potential effect of the change in output will be indicated.
However, the Thermal Index is not the same as temperature rise in the body, for
several reasons. First of all, in order to provide a single display index to the user, a
number of simplifying assumptions had to be made. The biggest assumption was
the use of the attenuating formula described above, which is much lower that the
actual value for most tissues within the body. Scanning through muscle or organ
tissue, for example, will produce much higher attenuation than 0.3 dB/cm/MHz.
There were also significant simplifications made for the thermal properties of tissue.
Therefore, scanning through highly perfused tissue, such as the heart or
vasculature, will produce significantly less thermal effect than that suggested by the
Thermal Index.
Similarly, the Mechanical Index was derived to indicate the relative possibility of
mechanical (cavitation) effects. The MI is based on the derated peak rarefactional
pressure and the center frequency of the ultrasound wave (see section 21.2.2).
The actual peak rarefactional pressure is affected by the actual attenuation caused
by tissue in the path between the transducer and the focal point. Again, all solid
tissues within the body have higher attenuation than the proscribed 0.3 dB/cm/MHz
value, and therefore, the actual peak rarefactional pressure will be lower. Further,
the actual peak rarefactional pressure will change depending upon the region of
the body being scanned.
For these reasons, the TI and MI displays should only be used to assist the
operator in implementing ALARA at the time of the patient examination.

a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV
broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered.
If the measured field strength in the location in which the SSA-660A is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the SSA-660A should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such
as re-orienting or relocating the SSA-660A.
