ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), commonly referred to as a static shock, is a naturally occurring
phenomenon. ESD is most prevalent during conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by
heating or air conditioning. During low humidity conditions, electrical charges naturally build up
on individuals, creating static electricity. An ESD occurs when an individual with an electrical
energy build-up comes in contact with conductive objects such as metal doorknobs, file
cabinets, computer equipment, and even other individuals. The static shock or ESD is a
discharge of the electrical energy build-up from a charged individual to a lesser or non-charged
individual or object.
EMI
Although this system has been manufactured in compliance with existing Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) requirements, use of this system in the presence of an electromagnetic field
can cause momentary degradation of the ultrasound image.
If this occurs often, MEDISON suggests a review of the environment in which the system is
being used, to identify possible sources of radiated emissions. These emissions could be from
other electrical devices used within the same room or an adjacent room. Communication
devices such as cellular phones and pagers can cause these emissions. The existence of
radios, TVs, or microwave transmission equipment nearby can also cause interference.
EMC
The testing for EMC((Electromagnetic Compatibility)) of this system has been performed
according to the international standard for EMC with medical devices (IEC60601-1-2). This IEC
standard was adopted in Europe as the European norm (EN60601-1-2).
The image transducer used with the ACCUVIX XQ Ultrasound System may affect its
emission. The transducer listed in ‘Chapter 8. Probes’ when used with this product,
have been tested to comply with the group1 class A emission as required by
International Standard CISPR 11.
The use of cables, transducers, and accessories other than those specified
WARNING may result in increased emission or decreased Immunity of the Ultrasound
System.

ALARA Principle
Guidance for the use of diagnostic ultrasound is defined by the “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA)
principle. The decision as to what is reasonable has been left to the judgment and insight of qualified
personnel. No set of rules can be formulated that would be sufficiently complete to dictate the correct
response for every circumstance. By keeping ultrasound exposure as low as possible, while obtaining
diagnostic images, users can minimize ultrasonic bioeffects.
Since the threshold for diagnostic ultrasound bioeffects is undetermined, it is the sonographer’s
responsibility to control the total energy transmitted into the patient. The sonographer must reconcile
exposure time with diagnostic image quality. To ensure diagnostic image quality and limit exposure time,
the ultrasound system provides controls that can be manipulated during the exam to optimize the results of
the exam.
The ability of the user to abide by the ALARA principle is important. Advances in diagnostic ultrasound not
only in the technology but also in the applications of the technology, have resulted in the need for more and
better information to guide the user. The output indices are designed to provide that important information
There are a number of variables, which affect the way in which the output display indices can be used to
implement the ALARA principle. These variables include mass, body size, location of the bone relative to
the focal point, attenuation in the body, and ultrasound exposure time. Exposure time is an especially
useful variable, because the user controls it. The ability to limit the index values over time support the
ALARA principle.
1 - 16 ACCUVIX XQ Operation Manual
▐ Applying ALARA
The system-imaging mode used depends upon the information needed. 2D-mode and M-mode imaging
provide anatomical information, while Doppler, Power, and Color imaging provide information about blood
flow. Scanned modes, like 2D-mode, Power, or Color, disperse or scatter the ultrasonic energy over an
area, while an unscanned mode, like M-mode or Doppler, concentrates ultrasonic energy. Understanding
the nature of the imaging mode being used allows the sonographer to apply the ALARA principle with
informed judgment. The probe frequency, system set-up values, scanning techniques, and operator
experience aid the sonographer in meeting the definition of the ALARA principle.
The decision as to the amount of acoustic output is, in the final analysis, up to the system operator. This
decision must be based on the following factors: type of patient, type of exam, patient history, ease or
difficulty of obtaining diagnostically useful information, and the potential localized heating of the patient due
to probe surface temperatures. Prudent use of the system occurs when patient exposure is limited to the
lowest index reading for the shortest amount of time necessary to achieve acceptable diagnostic results.
Although a high index reading does not mean that a bioeffect is actually occurring, a high index reading
should be taken seriously. Every effort should be made to reduce the possible effects of a high index
reading. Limiting exposure time is an effective way to accomplish this goal.
There are several system controls that the operator can use to adjust the image quality and limit the
acoustic intensity. These controls are related to the techniques that an operator might use to implement
ALARA. These controls can be divided into three categories: direct, indirect, and receiver control.
▐ Direct Controls
Application selection and the output intensity control directly affect acoustic intensity. There are different
ranges of allowable intensity or output based on your selection. Selecting the correct range of acoustic
intensity for the application is one of the first things required during any exam. For example, peripheral
vascular intensity levels are not recommended for fetal exams. Some systems automatically select the
proper range for a particular procedure, while others require manual selection. Ultimately, the user bears
the responsibility for proper clinical use. The MEDISON system provides both automatic and user-definable
settings.
Output has direct impact on acoustic intensity. Once the application has been established, the output
control can be used to increase or decrease the intensity output. The output control allows you to select
intensity levels less than the defined maximum. Prudent use dictates that you select the lowest output
intensity consistent with good image quality.
▐ Indirect Controls
The indirect controls are those that have an indirect effect on acoustic intensity. These controls affect
imaging mode, pulse repetition frequency, focus depth, pulse length, and probe selection.
The choice of imaging mode determines the nature of the ultrasound beam. 2D-mode is a scanning mode,
Chapter 1. Safety 1- 17
Doppler is a stationary or unscanned mode. A stationary ultrasound beam concentrates energy on a single
location. A moving or scanned ultrasound beam disperses the energy over a wide area and the beam is
only concentrated on a given area for a fraction of the time necessary in unscanned mode.
Pulse repetition frequency or rate refers to the number of ultrasound bursts of energy over a specific period
of time. The higher the pulse repetition frequency, the more pulses of energy in a given period of time.
Several controls affect pulse repetition frequency: focal depth, display depth, sample volume depth, color
sensitivity, number of focal zones, and sector width controls.
Focus of the ultrasound beam affects the image resolution. To maintain or increase resolution at a different
focus requires a variation in output over the focal zone. This variation of output is a function of system
optimization. Different exams require different focal depths. Setting the focus to the proper depth improves
the resolution of the structure of interest.
Pulse length is the time during which the ultrasonic burst is turned on. The longer the pulse, the greater the
time-average intensity value. The greater the time-average intensity, the greater the likelihood of
temperature increase and cavitations. Pulse length or burst length or pulse duration is the output pulse
duration in pulsed Doppler. Increasing the Doppler sample volume increases the pulse length.
Probe selection affects intensity indirectly. Tissue attenuation changes with frequency. The higher the
probe operating frequency, the greater the attenuation of the ultrasonic energy. Higher probe operating
frequencies require higher output intensity to scan at a deeper depth. To scan deeper at the same output
intensity, a lower probe frequency is required. Using more gain and output beyond a point, without
corresponding increases in image quality, can mean that a lower frequency probe is needed.
Receiver Controls
Receiver controls are used by the operator to improve image quality. These controls have no effect on
output. Receiver controls only affect how the ultrasound echo is received. These controls include gain,
TGC, dynamic range, and image processing. The important thing to remember, relative to output, is
that receiver controls should be optimized before increasing output. For example; before increasing
output, optimize gain to improve image quality.
▐ Additional Considerations
Ensure that scanning time is kept to a minimum, and ensure that only medically required
scanning is performed. Never compromise quality by rushing through an exam. A poor exam
will require a follow-up, which ultimately increases the time. Diagnostic ultrasound is an
important tool in medicine, and, like any tool, should be used efficiently and effectively.
The system output display comprises two basic indices: a mechanical index and a thermal index. The
thermal index consists of the following indices: soft tissue (TIs), cranial bone (Tic) and bone (TIb). One of
these three thermal indices will be displayed at all times. Which one depends upon the system preset or
user choice, depending upon the application at hand.
The mechanical index is continuously displayed over the range of 0.0 to 1.9, in increments of 0.1.
The thermal index consists of the three indices, and only one of these is displayed at any one time. Each
probe application has a default selection that is appropriate for that combination. The TIb or TIs is
continuously displayed over the range of 0.0 to maximum output, based on the probe and application, in
increments of 0.1.
1 - 18 ACCUVIX XQ Operation Manual
The application-specific nature of the default setting is also an important factor of index behavior. A default
setting is a system control state which is preset by the manufacturer or the operator. The system has
default index settings for the probe application. The default settings are invoked automatically by the
ultrasound system when power is turned on, new patient data is entered into the system database, or a
change in application takes place.
The decision as to which of the three thermal indices to display should be based on the following criteria:
Appropriate index for the application: TIs is used for imaging soft tissue; and TIb for a focus at or near
bone.
Some factors might create artificially high or low thermal index readings e.g. presence of fluid or bone, or
the flow of blood. A highly attenuating tissue path, for example, will cause the potential for local zone
heating to be less than the thermal index displays.
Scanned modes versus unscanned modes of operation affect the thermal index. For scanned modes,
heating tends to be near the surface; for unscanned modes, the potential for heating tends to be deeper in
the focal zone.
Always limit ultrasound exposure time. Do not rush the exam. Ensure that the indices are kept to a
minimum and that exposure time is limited without compromising diagnostic sensitivity.
The bone thermal index (TIb) informs the user about potential heating at or near the focus after the
ultrasound beam has passed through soft tissue or fluid, for example, at or near second or third
trimester fetal bone.
The cranial bone thermal index (TIc) informs the user about the potential heating of bone at or near
the surface, for example, cranial bone.
The soft tissue thermal index (TIs) informs the user about the potential for heating within soft
homogeneous tissue.
You can select either TIs or TIb using the TIs/TIb selection on the Miscellaneous system
setups. TIc is displayed when you select a trans-cranial application.
The Mechanical and Thermal Indices on the system are precise to 0.1 units.
The MI and TI display accuracy estimates for the system are given in the Acoustic Output Tables
manual. These accuracy estimates are based on the variability range of probes and systems,
inherent acoustic output modeling errors and measurement variability, as described below.
The displayed values should be interpreted as relative information to help the system operator
achieve the ALARA principle through prudent use of the system. The values should not be
interpreted as actual physical values investigated tissue or organs. The initial data that is used to
support the output display is derived from laboratory measurements based on the AIUM
measurement standard. The measurements are then put into algorithms for calculating the displayed
output values.
Many of the assumptions used in the process of measurement and calculation are conservative in
nature. Over-estimation of actual in situ exposure, for the vast majority of tissue paths, is built into
the measurement and calculation process. For example:
The measured water tank values are de-rated using a conservative, industry standard, attenuation
coefficient of 0.3dB/cm-MHz.
Conservative values for tissue characteristics were selected for use in the TI models. Conservative
values for tissue or bone absorption rates, blood perfusion rates, blood heat capacity, and tissue
thermal conductivity were selected.
Steady state temperature rise is assumed in the industry standard TI models, and the assumption is
made that the ultrasound probe is held steady in one position long enough for steady state to be
reached.
A number of factors are considered when estimating the accuracy of display values: hardware
variations, algorithm accuracy estimation and measurement variability. Variability among probes and
systems is a significant factor. Probe variability results from piezoelectric crystal efficiencies,
process-related impedance differences, and sensitive lens focusing parameter variations.
Differences in the system pulse voltage control and efficiencies are also a contributor to variability.
There are inherent uncertainties in the algorithms used for estimating acoustic output values over the
range of possible system operating conditions and pulse voltages. Inaccuracies in laboratory
measurements are related to differences in hydrophone calibration and performance, positioning,
alignment and digitization tolerances, and variability among test operators.
The conservative assumptions of the output estimation algorithms of linear propagation, at all depths,
through a 0.3dB/cm-MHz attenuated medium are not taken into account in calculation of the
accuracy estimate displayed. Neither linear propagation, nor uniform attenuation at the 0.3dB/cm-
MHz rate, occur in water tank measurements or in most tissue paths in the body. In the body,
different tissues and organs have dissimilar attenuation characteristics. In water, there is almost no
attenuation. In the body, and particularly in water tank measurements, non-linear propagation and
saturation losses occur as pulse voltages increase.
The display accuracy estimates take into account the variability ranges of probes and systems,
inherent acoustic output modeling errors, and measurement variability. Display accuracy estimates
are not based on errors in, or caused by measuring according to, the AIUM measurement standards.
They are also independent of the effects of non-linear loss on the measured values.
Power
Power controls the system acoustic output. Two real-time output values are on the screen: a TI and a
MI. They change as the system responds to POWER adjustments.
In combined modes, such as simultaneous Color, 2D-mode and pulsed Doppler, the individual modes
each add to the total TI. One mode will be the dominant contributor to this total. The displayed MI will
be from the mode with the largest peak pressure.
▐ 2D mode Controls
2D-mode size
Narrowing the sector angle may increase the frame rate. This action will increase the TI. Pulse voltage
may be automatically adjusted down with software controls to keep the TI below the system
maximums. A decrease in pulse voltage will decrease MI.
Zoom
Increasing the zoom magnification may increase frame rate. This action will increase the TI. The
number of focal zones may also increase automatically to improve resolution. This action may change
MI since the peak intensity can occur at a different depth.
Persistence
A lower persistence will decrease the TI. Pulse voltage may be automatically increased. An increase in
pulse voltage will increase MI.
Focal no.
More focal zones may change both the TI and MI by changing frame rate or focal depth automatically.
Lower frame rates decrease the TI. MI displayed will correspond to the zone with the largest peak
intensity.
Focus
Changing the focal depth will change the MI. Generally, higher MI values will occur when the focal
depth is near the natural focus of the transducer.
Scale
Using the SCALE control to increase the color velocity range may increase the TI. The system will
automatically adjust pulse voltage to stay below the system maximums. A decrease in pulse voltage
will also decrease MI.
Sec Width
A narrower 2D-mode sector width in Color imaging will increase color frame rate. The TI will increase.
MI will not change. If pulsed Doppler is also enabled, then pulsed Doppler will remain as the primary
mode and the TI change will be small.
Probe
Each probe model available has unique specifications for contact area, beam shape, and
center frequency. Defaults are initialized when you select a probe. MEDISON factory
defaults vary with probe, application, and selected mode. Defaults have been chosen below the FDA
limits for intended use.
Depth
An increase in 2D-mode depth will automatically decrease the 2D-mode frame rate. This would
decrease the TI. The system may also automatically choose a deeper 2D-mode focal depth. A change
of focal depth may change the MI. The MI displayed is that of the zone with the largest peak intensity.

The measurements provided by the system do not define a specific physiological or anatomic pa
rameter. Rather, what is provided is a measurement of a physical property such as distance or v
elocity for evaluation by the clinician.
For each of the measurements available on the system, the measurement accuracy and range o
ver which that accuracy is valid is shown in the following tables. Measurement accuracy is also
constrained by the caliper placement capability limit. Unless specified by a probe or an applicati
on, all linear distance measurements have the following accuracy requirements.
The RMI413 phantom is used for all 2D and M-mode measurement accuracy tests.
The RMI1425A phantom is used for the Doppler measurement accuracy tests.
Unless specified otherwise by a probe or application, all linear distance movements have the foll
owing accuracy limits.

information and range values must be set for GA table, Fetal Growth table, and Fetal
Growth table.
■ This function is used for displaying GA values such as BPD, HC, AC and FL, allowing
the user to diagnose fetal growth.
■ This function can be used only in OB reports.
Patient name, ID and LMP must be entered in order for graphs and reports
NOTE
to be saved in the HDD automatically.
▌ Viewing Graph
1. Recently measured values are displayed as graphs. Graphs are drawn against
gestation period (week) or fetal size (mm).
2. G.A. values, including the fetal weight, are displayed at the bottom of the screen. Use
the Trackball and the Set button to select a desired item and its graph will appear.
3. Press the Report button to return to the report screen.
4. Press the Exit button at the graph screen or the Exit button on the control panel to return
to diagnosis mode.
Among OB information, the Growth Table and the typical fetal distribution for the same number
of weeks are used to determine the following information:
- The normal distribution curve.
- The measurements for an actual fetus or a position in EFW distribution.
- Whether a distribution point is within the normal range.
The reference number of weeks for the Growth Table can be set to LMP, Estab. DD or Average
US GA under [Pctl.Criteria]. The typical setting is LMP.
When LMP is not known or uncertain, or when the difference between LMP and Average US GA
is substantial, care must be taken, as selecting different [Pctl.Criteria] can result in a significant
difference.
When represented by SD, a point near the average indicates a value closer to ±0 SD and a poin
t away from the average indicates a value closer to the maximum or minimum value. The greate
r part of the range falls within ±3 SD, and ±1 SD represents 68.3% of the entire range. Thus it c
an be seen that most fetal measurements are tightly clustered around the average value.
The Percentile represents a point in distribution from between 0 and 100 inclusive. Therefore, th
e average point is represented as 50 Percentile.
5 - 54 ACCUVIX XQ Operation Manual
[Figure 5.20 The distribution of the Growth Table for the selected number of weeks
(m: Average, σ: Standard Deviation)]
As shown in the figure, the average point corresponds to 0 SD (that is, 50 Percentile). If a point i
s in the range between -1 SD and +1 SD, it falls within 68.3% of the entire range. This means th
at the point falls within the range between 16 and 84.
Further, if a point is in the range between -2 SD and +2 SD, it falls within 95.5% of the entire ran
ge. Thus, the point falls in the range between 3 and 97.
SD and Percentile are interchangeable. Percentile can be used when a fetal measurement ranki
ng is desired, and SD can be used when the distance between actual fetal measurements and t
he average measurement is sought.
While the range of Growth Table references that are primarily used with OB measurement data
varies depending on the user, the typical range accepted by most users is as below:
2.5 Percentile - 97.5 Percentile (when converted to SD: -1.96 SD - 1.96 SD)
5.0 Percentile - 95.0 Percentile (when converted to SD: -1.645 SD - 1.645 SD)
10.0 Percentile - 90.0 Percentile (when converted to SD: -1.288 SD - 1.288 SD)

Probes
The probe is a device that sends and receives ultrasound for acquiring image data. It is also
called a Transducer or Scanhead.
The system limits patient contact temperature to 43 degrees Celsius, and acoustic power values
to their respective U.S. FDA limits. A power protection fuse circuit protects against over-current
conditions. If the power monitor protection circuit senses an over-current condition, then the
drive current to the probe is shut off immediately, preventing overheating of the probe surfaces
and limiting acoustic output. Validation of the power protection fuse circuit is performed under
normal system operation. For invasive probes, additional protections are designed to keep
patient contact surface temperature under 43 degrees Celsius in the event of a single fault
failure.
The ultrasonographic image scanner uses the image data received by the probe to display the
images of each organ on the screen. For best quality images, select the appropriate probe for
the each application.
The applications for each probe are shown below.

▌ Cleaning
Cleaning is an important procedure that is carried out before disinfecting the probe. The
probe must be cleaned after each use.
■ Do not use a surgical brush when cleaning probes. The use of even soft
brushes can damage the probe.
■ During cleaning and disinfection, keep the parts of the probe that must
CAUTION
remain dry higher than the other parts during wetting until all parts are dry.
This will help prevent liquid from entering non-liquid-tight areas of the
probe.
▌ Disinfection
Only disinfect vaginal and rectal probes. A 10-6 reduction in pathogens should be reached
following the disinfection procedures in this Manual and using the following MEDISON
recommended solutions. The following disinfectants are recommended because of both
their biological effectiveness (as qualified through the FDA 510(k) process) and their
chemical compatibility with MEDISON ultrasound product materials.
■ If a pre-mixed solution is used, be sure to observe the solution expiration date.
■ The type of tissue it will contact during use dictates the level of disinfection
CAUTION required for a device. Ensure that the solution strength and duration of contact
are appropriate for disinfection.
Biopsy
A biopsy is an examination method that surgically extracts tissue from the patient for
examination. The probe and the biopsy kit are used together when conducting a biopsy with the
ultrasonographic image scanner.
The ultrasound system shows the needle, which penetrates through the skin surface and veins,
along with the examination location, minimizing the risk to the patient.
▌ Biopsy Procedure
The system generates a needle guideline though the displayed real-time ultrasound images
to indicate the anticipated path of the needle. You can use this guideline to ensure that the
needle or instrument is following the correct path.
1. Ready the patient according to the procedure appropriate for the examination objectives.
2. Install the sheath and the biopsy kit.
3. Set the system controls for the biopsy procedure.
4. If necessary, apply acoustic gel to the patient.
5. Begin scanning the patient. Adjust the patient so that the location for examination fits
into the needle guideline on the screen.
6. Insert the needle into the needle guide.
7. Perform the puncture by sliding the needle through the groove in the guide until the
needle intercepts the target.
8. To keep the needle securely in the needle guide, press down on the top of the biopsy
adapter with your index finger.
8 - 14 ACCUVIX XQ Operation Manual
9. When the examination location is reached, take the needle out of the needle guide.
10. Detach the needle guide, adapter and sheath from the probe.
11. Dispose of the components that are not designed for reuse.
Reverberation or other tissue artifacts may produce false needle images which can cause
confusion. Ensure the needle path is along the guideline, and that you are not using a false
needle image to locate the needle.
■ The needle used for this alignment verification must not be used for the
actual procedure. Always use a new, sterile needle for each biopsy
procedure.
WARNING
■ To assist in accurate projection of the needle, use a straight, new needle
for each alignment procedure.
Only disinfect vaginal and rectal probes. A 10-6 reduction in pathogens should be reached
following the disinfection procedures in this manual and using the following MEDISON
recommended solutions. The following disinfectants are recommended because of both their
biological effectiveness (as qualified through the FDA 510(k) process) and their chemical
compatibility with MEDISON ultrasound product materials.
Always use protective eyewear and gloves when cleaning and disinfecting
WARNING biopsy kit.
