4 EXPLANATIONS
The MyLab40/MyLab20Plus is built up with the following boards, each with its
specific function:
• Input board
• TRX1 and TRX2 board
• Control board
• Doppler board
• Video board
• Processor board
• Connector board
• Power supply
• Keyboard and TGC
4.1 General block diagram

Input board
The probes are connected to the input board which has 3 probe connectors and one
Doppler probe connector.
The input board switches the transmit and receive signals to and from the correct
probe connectors to the TRX1and TRX2 board.
The probe identification is send to the control board.
TRX1 & TRX2 boards

The TRX1 and TRX2 manage the transmit and receive signals to and from the probe.
Each board has 96 transmit and receive channels which enable the use of 192
element probes.
The pulsers generate the high voltage transmit pulses (HV coming from power
supply).
The timing of the transmit pulses is controlled by the TX block and is done in such
way that the transmit beam is focused.
The received signals are amplified by the pre-amps and after that the MUX switched
the 96 inputs to 32 groups.
The Variable Gain Amplifier and ADC circuit amplify the signals with the user
controlled gain curve and converts the signals into digital samples.
The digital samples are delayed, summed and filtered in the receive blocks RX1 and
RX2 and forms the 16 bit digital RF signal.

The TRX1 and TRX2 board are almost identical. The only difference is in the CW
path.
In case CW is active the CW channels are switched from the MUX to the SWITCH
MATRIX. The information from the Pedof probe is going directly to the SWITCH
MATRIX.
The SWITCH MATRIX takes care of focusing the received information while the
NOTCH FILTER eliminates the emitted Doppler frequency.
The information is then processed on the TRX2 board and going to the Doppler
board.

Control board
The control board has several functions.
It controls the timing transmit and receive sequences on the TRX1 and TRX2 boards
and it provides the interface between the processor board and scanconverter which
is located on the control board.
An other function is the processing of the Digital RF data.

The processed RF data is going to the scanconverter while the Doppler data is going
to the Doppler board
The timing and control circuit is in control of several control signals such as the probe
identification and probe selection and for Doppler controls such as PRF timing.
Also the TGC signals are generated which are used on the TRX1 and TRX2 boards.

Doppler board
The Doppler board receives the RF signal and extracts the Doppler information (CW,
PW and CFM).
The PW and CFM signals are digital data coming from the Control board and the CW
signal is coming from the TRX2 board in analog format.
The CFM Demodulation circuit extracts from the RF signal the phase and quadrature
components. The MTI filtering circuit extracts the high frequency components of the
signal that are associated with the moving targets. The Autocorrelation & CFM
parameters estimation circuit extracts the information concerning the speed, variance
and power of the color signal.
The PW demodulation & CW Digitizing circuit demodulates the Doppler signal and
digitizes the CW Doppler signal. The Doppler processing block receives the
demodulated signal and extracts the FFT spectrum and audio component.

Processor board
The Processor board contains two CPU’s.
1) The central processor in the CPU circuit
2) The ETX board
The central processor manages the system, and communicates with the keyboard,
encoders and trackball.
The software located in this circuit contains the resident program and the AOD probe
management tables.
The CPU circuit also controls the Graphic memory which makes it possible to
superimpose the graphics on the ultrasound image.
The ETX board is a piggy back board that takes care of the digital archiving and
connectivity like LAN and USB.
Archiving images is done by reading the Image memory and ECG memory on the
video board.

Video board
The Video board contains three parts.
1) Video circuit
2) ECG
3) Image memory
The Video circuit generates the output signals for VGA and for the peripherals like
printers and VCR.
The image data, ECG and graphics are converted to RGB and the encoders and
DAC convert the signals in t the format of the involved peripheral.
The playback signal of the VCR is fed through the Video decoder into the image
memory.
The ECG circuit processes the physiological signals for presentation on the board.
The circuit filters the notch and extracts the ECG sync and sends the ECG signal to
the processor board for synchronization with the signal being acquired.
The interpolated image data from the control board is stored in the image memory.
When reviewing archived images, the data is coming from the processor board and
stored in the image memory to be processed by the video circuit.
Graphics are mixed with either ultrasound data or archived data in the image memory
as well.

6.17 Anti virus protection
Antivirus Protection on MyLab Systems

As every other computer system, MyLab units can be exposed to malware attacks.
The term malware indicates a software (sometimes called virus, trojan horse, worm,
etc.) designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner knowing.
Theoretically, malware can affect the operations of a computer system in many ways:
it could delete its system files but it could also compromise the security of the
machine, allowing unwanted exposition of the data contained in it. In a medical
imaging system, this could compromise the privacy of the examined patients or
damage the exam database.
Esaote develops its products with the objective of providing our customers with
enhanced security capabilities and is committed to cooperate with customers in their
efforts to comply with security and privacy laws and regulations (HIPAA in the U.S.A.,
EU Security Directive in Europe …).
Unfortunately, as for any other computer system, internal security measures do not
ensure a complete protection of the system against malware. For this reason the
service technician must be aware of these internal measures and know which is the
best approach to work with a MyLab system in the best possible security conditions.
Malware Infection
Malware can enter into a computer system when executing a program with a viral
payload. Such a program could be either intentionally or accidentally executed.
Normally, a MyLab system does not allow to intentionally execute other software

programs than the pre-loaded ones: exceptions occur when applying a software
upgrade coming from Esaote or when installing a printer.
Esaote manufacturing plants and R&D departments follow a strict corporate antivirus
policy:
• Every computer is continuously updated with the Operating System patches.
• Every computer runs continuously updated anti-virus software and the
internal network is protected through firewalls.
• All the software coming from Esaote is released on read-only DVDs-R, burnt
on systems carefully protected against viruses.
NOTE
Esaote does not authorize any operation different from the ones described in the
Operator manual and in the Service manual. Any system malfunctioning caused by
unauthorized operations is considered as falling under the user’s or the technician’s
responsibility.
Operating System Patches Policy

Malware can also enter a computer system through the data network, exploiting a
failure of the Operating System. For this reason, it is very important to install as soon
as possible the relevant security patches released from the Operating System
manufacturer.
Esaote will include the Operating System patches into the MyLab system software
releases: this will ensure that the patches do not affect the system and are validated
by Esaote.
At least every six-eight months, Esaote will issue a new software release, including
all relevant patches released by Microsoft.
Antivirus
Esaote does not install an anti-virus program because it could affect the regular
operations of the system: to be really effective, antivirus software should be
configured in a way that heavily limits the system resources, especially regarding the
real-time ultrasound acquisition. Moreover any antivirus software is only effective if
continuously updated (daily basis). As explained above, any update should be
carefully validated by Esaote, to be sure it does not affect the regular operations of
the machine.
In case of serious doubts, it is possible to run an external antivirus program, with the sole
purpose of reporting if the MyLab system has been really attacked by a virus, without
changing its files in any way. We suggest using the Avira Antivir Rescue System. It is a
free product that allows you to burn a bootable CD-R that can be used to scan the MyLab
system.
To use the most recent Avira Antivir Rescue System CD-R please follow this
procedure.
1. You need a Windows XP / Vista computer which is carefully managed and is

applying the latest security patches, running a correctly updated antivirus and
protected with a suitable firewall. This computer needs a CD-ROM burner and a
connection to the Internet.

2. Access the web page:
http://www.free-av.de/en/tools/12/avira_antivir_rescue_system.html (or search on
the Avira web site the Antivir Rescue System download page) and download the
product (exe file).
3. Insert a write-only CD-R into your CD-R burner and run the downloaded exe file.
It will burn a CD-R with the latest version of Avira Antivir Rescue System.
4. Disconnect the MyLab system from the data network.
5. Connect a usb mouse to the system because the trackball will not work.
6. Switch to the Windows environment to see the antivirus running:
a. Turn the unit on, insert the Avira CD-R and turn the unit off.
b. Turn the unit on. Wait until the unit start up procedure is over, until the system
displays the Real Time image with the HD icon grey.
c. Press Ctrl + Alt + ARCHIVEREV to display the antivirus screen.
7. The following screen should appear:
8. Click on the British flag on the lower left to enable the English language:
9. By default, the Avira Antivir Rescue System is configured to examine all the files
on the unit, producing a report without changing anything. Please do not change
these settings, and just press “Start scanner”.
10. Scanning the whole unit could take from a few minutes to many hours, according
to the size of the image database. If the Avira Antivir Rescue System reports any
suspect file:
a. Reboot the machine, remove the Avira Antivir Rescue System CD and
execute a complete backup of the system (archive, settings, etc.).
b. Completely re-install the system software and BIOS using a BIOS CD and an
update DVD with the latest available MyLab software release The update files
are available on the helpdesk FTP site (ftp://gatekeeper2.pie.nl). For more info
see the Technical note regarding a software update, which is available on the
protected web.

c. Please note that reconnecting the MyLab to the data network before sanitizing
it could allow a new malware attack.
Firewall
It is anyway advisable to close any possible access from the data network: for this
reason all unused network ports are closed in the MyLab system.
To minimize the exposition to the threats coming from the network, medical devices
based on a networked computer system, like the MyLab system, should be
connected only to a carefully managed data network, i.e. a network that is carefully
isolated from external networks through suitable firewalls and that is not used to
connect external devices (such as laptops coming from outside the department, etc.).
See for example, the USA Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Device Isolation
Architecture Guide, available at the HIMSS website:
http://www.himss.org/ASP/topics_FocusDynamic.asp?faid=101.
To ensure a complete protection of the MyLab system from any network attack,
Esaote suggests to use a complete agent less intrusion-prevention system: this is a
system that acts like a firewall protecting the network against malware from outside,
but also checks the internal network traffic, without require any additional software
installation in the MyLab system (see for example Trend Micro Network VirusWall
Enforcer or Firebox X Core Unified Threat Management products or SonicWALL TZ
products, or similar).
NOTE
It is suggested to contact the network administrator to know the network policy.
Enabling the Internal Firewall

If the data network cannot be correctly isolated from external threats, another
possible solution to suggest to the customers is to enable Windows XP internal
firewall and configure it to close all incoming network ports. This solution is less
secure than using a protected data network with external firewalls and has some
disadvantages: it won’t be possible anymore to send data to a Network
Directory nor to use the DICOM Storage Commitment.
This is the procedure to activate the internal firewall in windows XP:
• Turn the system on with the service key inserted.
• Press the ARCHIVE REV key.
• Press Ctrl + Esc keys to display the Windows menu.
• Select “Settings” and “Control Panel”.
• Select “Windows Firewall”.
• The system may require to start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS) service. Select “Yes” and press ENTER
• In the Windows Firewall menu - “General” tab, enable both the “On
(recommended)” and “Don’t allow exception” fields.

Security Access Control and Auditing

The MyLab system has a complete and configurable security access control process.
When enabled, users have to provide a login and a password to access the unit. For

the description of the Security settings see the “Advanced Operations” manual,
section “System Configuration”, chapter “Security”. This process can be tailored to
fulfill the local laws and regulations.
When enabled, this process will also produce a log file that traces every access to
the machine (access log), allowing the System Administrator to fulfill the security
regulations required by this kind of logging. This log file can be considered to have
adequate characteristics of completeness, inalterability and integrity. This log file,
called UserManagement_0.txt, will be automatically produced by the system, which
archives it internally.
This file can be exported on a USB pen drive: the log file can be then considered
complete. The MyLab system can be considered a closed system: the normal user
(including the System Administrator) cannot modify the contents of this log file, this
guarantees its inalterability. Moreover it is always possible to export the log file to
verify its integrity.
6.18 Log Files
The Log and Shut Down files are useful tools and therefore should be sent to the
helpdesk in case of a problem.
The log files have to be saved soon after the problem occurs or, the latest, at the
next start up. The files have a FIFO structure with a limited memory availability: when
the log file memory is full, the oldest events registered in the files are eliminated to
free space for the recent ones. For this reason the log files have to be saved as soon
as possible. For detailed information on how to save the log files see section 6.9.1.
Log Files Organization

The log files are organized in following twelve folders:
• ApiTemp
• Dam
• DamOrganizer

7 Safety test
Every MyLab 40 unit complies with EN60601-1 (IEC 60601-1) standard. The MyLab
40 is Class I Type B and BF (Ultrasound probe).
We strongly recommend performing Safety Tests every time new peripherals are
powered through the unit or that the unit is opened to perform service.
It is recommended to perform the safety tests every two years. If the system is used
in the Intensive or Coronary Care, it is recommended to perform the safety tests once
a year.
Local directives may be different but are mandatory to comply to.
WARNING
If the measured values exceed the reference values, indicated in the following table,
don’t use the unit. Contact the manufacturer.
The parameters to be tested are the following:

• Impedance of Protective Earth Connection
• Earth Leakage Current
• Enclosure Leakage Current
• Patient Leakage Current
• Patient Auxiliary Current
This chapter defines safety Parameters and their range according to EN60601-1
standard and describes the safety tests to be carried out on the equipment.
Definitions
1) Impedance of Protective Earth Connection

The impedance between the Protective Earth (PE) terminal of the mains input
connector and any accessible metal part.
2) Earth Leakage Current

The current that flows from the mains terminals (P=Phase, N=Neutral) to the
Protective Earth (PE) through the insulation.
3) Enclosure Leakage Current

The current that flows between the enclosure and the Protective Earth (PE) terminal.
4) Patient Leakage Current

The current that flows through the applied parts (ECG and US probe) towards the
Protective Earth (PE).
5) Patient Auxiliary Current

The current that flows between two different applied parts (for instance between two
ECG electrodes).

8 ESD
8.1.1 What is ESD

Electro Static Discharge (ESD) is the transmission of electro static charges between
two bodies with a potential difference.
This transmission can be achieved by direct contact or by an inducted electro static
field.
Electro static discharges are not always noticed by men, because ESD is:
• sensed at 3.500 Volt
• audible at 4.500 Volt
• visible at 5.000 Volt
Components and integrated circuits are more sensitive as men and might be damaged
by lower voltage discharges.
component type ESD sensitivity in Volts

V-MOS 30-1800
mosFET 100-200
EPROM 100
JFET 140-7000
OP-AMP 190-2500
C-MOS 250-3000
Schottky Diodes 300-2000
Bipolar Transistors 380-7000
ECL 500-1500
SCR 680-1000
Schottky TTL1000-2500
8.1.2 Preventing ESD damage

• Use electro static sensitive parts only in an ESD safe workshop.
• Use ESD safe packing material.
• Remove all static chargeable materials (plastics) from the workshop.
• Wear ESD safe clothing.
• Always check wrist strap and other ESD equipment before use.
• Be grounded.
• BE AWARE.

8.1.3 ESD save workshop
To be sure that there is no potential difference between body, boards and work
surface, the work surface should be made of electrostatic dissipative rubber.
The work surface should be connected to a central ground point.
The engineer, handling the boards should also be connected to the central ground
point, either through wrist strap or heal strap (and conductive floor).

8.1.4 ESD safe field service
To enable ESD field safe service an ESD field service kit has to be used when
handling boards.
This ESD field service kit should be connected to a central ground point and the
service engineer should be connected to the ESD field service kit through a wrist
strap.
Handle boards only on this ESD field service kit and pack in ESD safe packing
material.
To central GND point

8.1.5 More information about ESD precautions.
All precautions against ESD damage are described in the CECC 00015/I regulations,
composed by the CECC (Cenelec electronic Components
Committee).
