1.3.3. ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge)

An ESD event is generally caused by static electricity that naturally occurs due to friction. ESD
is most prevalent during conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by heating or air
conditioning. The static shock or ESD is a discharge of the electrical energy build-up from a
charged individual to a less or non-charged individual or object. An ESD occurs when an
individual with an electrical energy build-up comes into contact with conductive objects such as
metal doorknobs, file cabinets, computer equipment, and even other individuals.
■ The level of electrical energy discharged from a system user or patient to an

ultrasound system can be significant enough to cause damage to the system
or probes.
■ Always perform the pre-ESD preventive procedures before using connectors

2. RF energy from RF transmitting equipment such as portable phones, hand-held radios, wireless
devices, commercial radio and TV, and so on.
3. Conducted interference on powerlines or connected cables caused by other equipment, such as
switching power supplies, electrical controls, and natural phenomena such as lightning.
A medical device can either generate or receive electromagnetic interference. The EMC
standards describe tests for both emitted and received interference.
Electromagnetic interference generated by Samsung Medison’s ultrasound system does not
exceed the standard level.
An Ultrasound System is designed to receive signals at radio frequency and is therefore
susceptible to interference generated by RF energy sources. Examples of other sources of
interference are medical devices, information technology products, and radio and television
transmission towers. Tracing the source of radiated interference can be a difficult task.
Customers should consider the following in an attempt to locate the source:
1. Is the interference intermittent or constant?
2. Does the interference show up only with one transducer operating at the same frequency
or with several transducers?
3. Do two different transducers operating at the same frequency have the same problem?
4. Is the interference present if the system is moved to a different location in the facility?
The answers to these questions will help to determine if the problem resides with the
ultrasound system or its operating environment. After you have answered all of the questions,
contact your local service representative.

1.5.1. 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 to 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.
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 its applications, have resulted in the need for
increased and improved 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 supports the ALARA principle.
1.5.1.1. 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, concentrate the 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 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 biological effect is actually occurring, it
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 and can be divided into three categories: direct, indirect, and
receiver control.
1.5.1.2. Direct Controls

Application selection and the output intensity control directly affect acoustic intensity. There
are different ranges of allowable intensity or output depending 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. Samsung Medison systems provide 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 output intensity. 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.
1.5.1.3. Indirect Controls

The indirect controls are those that have an indirect effect on the acoustic intensity. These
controls affect the 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, 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.
The 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, sector
width controls, etc.
The focus of the ultrasound beam affects the image resolution. To maintain or increase
resolution at a different focus requires a variation of 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, 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 an increased
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.
1.5.1.4. 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 scanning time. Diagnostic ultrasound
is an important tool in medicine, and, like any tool, should be used efficiently and effectively.
1.5.1.5. Output Display Features

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), bone (TIb) and
cranial bone (TIc). One of these three thermal indices will be displayed at all times. The
thermal index to be displayed is determined by the system preset or user choice, depending
upon the application.
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 all the
time. Each diagnostic probe application has a default selection. The TIb or TIs is
continuously displayed over its range of 0.0 to maximum output, based on the probe and
application, in increments of 0.1.
The default setting of the application-specific nature is also an important factor of index
selection. 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 applied automatically by the ultrasound system when the power is turned on,
new patient data is entered into the system database, or a change of 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 a 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, may cause the potential for local zone heating to be lower than the thermal index
indicates.
The selection of scanned modes or unscanned modes of operation also 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 scanning. Ensure that the indices are
kept to a minimum, and that exposure time is limited without compromising diagnostic
sensitivity.
■ Mechanical Index (MI) Display

Mechanical bioeffects are threshold phenomena that occur when a certain level of output
is exceeded. The threshold level varies, however, with the type of tissue. The potential for
mechanical bioeffects varies with peak pressure and ultrasound frequency. The MI
accounts for these two factors. The higher the MI value, the greater the likelihood of
mechanical bioeffects occurring. However, there is no specific MI value that means that a
mechanical bioeffect will actually occur. The MI should be used as a guide for
implementing the ALARA principle.
■ Thermal Index (TI) Display

The TI informs the user of potential temperature increase occurring on the body surface,
within body tissue, or at the point of focus of the ultrasound beam on bone. The TI is an
estimate of the temperature increase in specific body tissues. The actual amount of any
temperature rise is influenced by factors such as tissue type, vascularity, and mode of
operation. The TI should be used as a guide for implementing the ALARA principle.
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, such as the skeletal
structure of a 2-3 month old fetus. The cranial bone thermal index (TIc) informs the user
about the potential heating of bone at or near the surface, for example, the cranial bone.
The soft tissue thermal index (TIs) informs the user about the potential for heating within
soft homogeneous tissue. TIc is displayed when you select a trans-cranial application.
You can select a TI to display in Setup > Imaging > Preset > Details > Display Thermal
Index.
■ Mechanical and Thermal Indices Display Precision and Accuracy

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 manual's
Acoustic Output Tables. These accuracy estimates are based on the variability ranges of
probes and systems, inherent acoustic output modeling errors, and the 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 of 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 to calculate 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
acoustic output values measured underwater are derated 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.
A 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 a steady state to be reached.
A number of factors are considered when estimating the accuracy of display values:
Hardware deviation, algorithm accuracy, and measurement deviation. Deviation among
probes and systems in particular is an important factor. Probe deviation results from
piezoelectric crystal efficiencies, process-related impedance differences, and sensitive
lens focusing parameter variations. Differences in the system pulser 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 pulser 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
the calculation of the accuracy estimate displayed. Neither linear propagation nor uniform
attenuation at the 0.3dB/cm-MHz rate occurs in underwater 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 underwater measurements, non-linear propagation and saturation losses
occur as pulser voltages increase.
The display accuracy estimates take into account the variability ranges of probes and
systems, inherent acoustic output modeling errors, and the measurement variability.
Display accuracy estimates are measured according to AIUM measurement standards
but not based on errors caused during the measurement or inherent errors. They are also
independent of the effects of non-linear loss on the measured values.
1.5.1.6. Control Effects – Controls Affecting the Indices

As various system controls are adjusted, the TI and MI values may change. This will be most
apparent as the Power control is adjusted; however, other system controls will also affect the
on-screen output 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 total
TI is the sum of TIs of the individual modes. Each mode is a vital contributor to this total;
the displayed MI will be from the mode with the largest peak pressure.
1.5.1.7. 2D Mode Controls
■ 2D Mode Size
Narrowing the sector angle may increase the frame rate. This will increase the TI. The
pulser voltage may be automatically adjusted down with software controls to keep the TI
below the system maximum. A decrease in pulser voltage will decrease MI.
■ Zoom
Increasing the zoom magnification may increase frame rate. This will increase the TI. The
number of focal zones may also increase automatically to improve the resolution. This
action may change the MI, since the peak intensity can occur at a different depth.
■ Number of Focal Zones

Increasing the number of focal zones may change both the TI and MI by automatically
changing the frame rate or focal depth. Lower frame rates decrease the TI. The MI
displayed will correspond to the focal zone with the largest peak intensity.
■ Focus
In general, higher MI values will occur when the focal depth is near the natural focus of
the probe (transducer).
1.5.1.8. Color and Power Controls
■ Color Sensitivity
Increasing the color sensitivity may increase the TI. More time is required for the
scanning of color images. Color pulses are the dominant pulse type in this mode.
■ Color Sector Width

Narrower color sector width will increase the color frame rate, and so the TI will increase.
The system may automatically decrease the pulser voltage to stay below the system
maximum. A decrease in pulser voltage will decrease the MI. If Pulsed Doppler is also
enabled, then Pulsed Doppler will remain the dominant mode and the TI change will be
small.
■ Color Sector Depth

Deeper color sector depth may automatically decrease color frame rate, or select a new
color focal zone or color pulse length. The TI will change due to the combination of these
effects. Generally, the TI will decrease with increased color sector depth. MI will
correspond to the peak intensity of the dominant pulse type, which is a color pulse.
However, if Pulsed Doppler is also enabled, then Pulsed Doppler will remain the
dominant mode and the TI change will be small.
■ Scale
Using the Scale control to increase the color velocity range may increase the TI. The
system will automatically adjust the pulser voltage to stay below the system maximum. A
decrease in pulser voltage will also decrease MI.
■ 2D Mode Size
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 the dominant mode and the TI change will be small.
1.5.1.9. M Mode and Doppler Controls
■ Simultaneous and Update Methods

Use of combination modes affects both the TI and MI through the combination of pulse
types. During Simultaneous mode, the TI is an ancillary element. During auto-update and
duplex, the TI will display the dominant pulse type. The displayed MI will be from the
mode with the largest peak pressure.
■ Sample Volume Depth

When Doppler sample volume depth is increased, the Doppler PRF may automatically
decrease. A decrease in PRF will decrease the TI. The system may also decrease the
pulser voltage to remain below the system maximum. A decrease in pulser voltage will
decrease MI.
1.5.1.10. Other
■ 2D, Color, M Mode, PW and CW

When a new imaging mode is selected, both the TI and the MI will change to their default
settings. Each mode has a corresponding pulse repetition frequency and maximum
intensity point. In combined or simultaneous modes, the TI is the sum of the contribution
from the modes enabled, and the MI is the value for the focal zone of the mode with the
largest derated intensity. If a mode is turned off and then reselected, the system will
return to the previously selected settings.
■ Probe
Each probe model available has unique specifications for the contact area, beam shape,
and center frequency. Defaults are initialized when you select a probe. Samsung
Medison’s manufacturer default settings vary, depending on the probe, application, and
mode selected. Defaults have been chosen below the FDA limits for intended use.
■ Depth
An increase in the 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.
■ Application
Acoustic output defaults are set when you select an application. Samsung Medison’s
manufacturer default settings vary, depending on the probe, application, and mode
selected. Defaults have been chosen below the FDA limits for intended use.

1.5.1.12. Acoustic Output and Measurement

Since the first usage of diagnostic ultrasound, the possible human biological effects
(bioeffects) of ultrasound exposure have been studied by various scientific and medical
institutions. In October 1987, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) ratified
a report prepared by its Bioeffects Committee (Bioeffect Considerations for the Safety of
Diagnostic Ultrasound, J Ultrasound Med., Sept. 1988: Vol.7, No.9 Supplement), sometimes
referred to as the Stowe Report, which reviewed available data on possible effects of
ultrasound exposure. Another report, “Bioeffects and Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound”, dated
January 28, 1993, provides more up to date information. In addition, periodically updated
reports on biological effects, results, and guidelines on safe usage have been published by
groups such as the WFUMB (World Federation of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology),
AIUM, and BMUS.
The Acoustic output for this system has been measured and calculated in accordance with
the Standard for Real-Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices On
Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment (AIUM/NEMA, 2004) and Acoustic Output Measurement

Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment (AIUM/NEMA, 2004).
1.5.1.13. In Situ, Derated, and Water Value Intensities

All intensity parameters are measured in water. Since water does not absorb acoustic energy,
these water measurements represent the largest possible value. Biological tissue absorbs
acoustic energy. The true value of the intensity at any point depends on the amount and type
of tissue, and the frequency of the ultrasound that passes through the tissue. The intensity
value in the tissue, In Situ, has been estimated using the following formula:
 ( 0.23 alf )
In Situ = Water [ e ]
Where: In Situ = In Situ Intensity Value
Water = Water Value Intensity
e = 2.7183
a = Attenuation Factor
Tissue a (dB/cm-MHz)
Brain 0.53
Heart 0.66
Kidney 0.79
Liver 0.43
Muscle 0.55
l = Skin line to measurement depth (cm)
f = Center frequency of the transducer/system/mode combination (MHz)
Since the ultrasonic path during an examination is likely to pass through varying lengths and
types of tissue, it is difficult to estimate the true In Situ intensity. An attenuation factor of 0.3
is used for general reporting purposes; therefore, the In Situ value is commonly reported
using this formula:
 ( 0.069 lf )
In Situ (derated) = Water [ e ]
Since this value is not the true in situ intensity, the term “derated” is used.
The maximum derated and maximum water values do not always occur under the same
operating conditions. Therefore, the reported maximum water and derated values may not
be related to the In Situ (derated) formula. For example, a multi-zone array transducer has
the greatest water value intensities at its deepest zone. The same transducer may have its
largest derated intensity at one of its shallowest focal zones.

Front End recognizes the inserted probe and creates the High Voltage based on the system
information and application, and then generates 128 channel strong ultrasound through TX
focusing and radiates it into the human body.
The Echo signal returned from the human body is amplified by LNA (Low Noise Amp) and
compensated to the same size by TGC(Time Gain Compensator) and converted to digital signal
by ADC(Analog to Digital Converter).
Lastly, the 128 channel echo signal is added as one powerful signal in the RX focusing stage
and transmits to BE part.
BE part creates images for each mode such as 2D mode, Doppler spectrum and Color Doppler
with inputted echo signal and transmits it to PC.
Ultrasound System Part consists of the following components.
• PSA(Probe Select Assembly) board
• Main(Beamformer + Back End) board
• BP (Back Plane) board
• Rear IO board (Optional)
• CW board (Optional)
5.3.2. PC Part

10.1. Probes
The probe is a device that sends and receives ultrasound for acquiring image data.
The system limits patient contact temperature to 43 degrees Celsius, and acoustic output 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.
10.1.1.1. Probe List

The ultrasound image scanner uses probes to obtain graphic data of the human body and
then displays it on the screen. Always use application-specific probes in order to obtain the
best quality images. It is also important to use a preset that is best suited to the particular
organ being scanned.
■ Thermal Index (TI) Table

The Thermal Index (TI) is displayed in the Title area of the screen, and represents the
probability of temperature rise in a particular area of the body. The thermal index consists
of the following indices: Soft tissue (TIs), bone (TIb), and cranial bone (TIc). This product

a patient. There is a risk of electric shock from leakage current.
■ Do not apply excessive force to the Gel Warmer, or you may damage its
support parts.
10.1.3. Using Sheaths

Sheaths are recommended for clinical applications of an invasive nature, including
intraoperative, transrectal, transvaginal, and biopsy procedures. Using a sheath also prevents
contamination from blood or other bodily fluids during operations or biopsy.
Samsung Medison does not supply sheaths, so appropriate sheaths should be purchased
independently.
■ For more information about sheaths, please contact the manufacturer.

■ Always use sheaths certified and approved by relevant national/local
authorities.
■ Use a sterile sheath for intraoperative or biopsy procedures.
WARNING
■ Use a sterile, single-use, latex sheath for transesophageal procedures.
■ Use a sterile sheath (preferred) or single-use sheath for transrectal or
transvaginal procedures.
■ Sheaths are disposable. Do not reuse them.
■ Make sure that you clean and disinfect the probes after every use.
■ Check the exterior of the Sheath before use. If a sheath is split or
contaminated, do not use it.
■ In neurosurgical applications, a disinfected probe must be used with sterile
gel and a sterile pyrogen-free sheath.
■ If the sterile sheath becomes compromised during neurosurgical applications
involving a patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the probe cannot be
successfully sterilized by any disinfection method.
■ Some sheaths contain natural rubber latex and talc, which can cause allergic
reactions in some individuals. Please confirm whether the specific patient is
allergic to those materials before using such sheaths. Please refer to the FDA
Medical Alert released on March 29, 1991.
10.1.3.1. Installing the Sheath
1. Remove the sheath from the packaging, and fill it with ultrasound gel. Be sure to put on
sterilized surgical gloves.
2. Insert the probe into the sheath and pull the latex tip to cover the probe completely. If
possible, cover the probe cable as well.
3. Ensure that there are no air bubbles trapped within the ultrasound gel. If necessary,
secure the sheath to the probe and the probe cable.

if a certain mode is in use.
■ Probes should be cleaned and disinfected prior to replacement or disposal.
■ Always inspect the lenses, cables, and connectors after using probes. If
damaged, stop using them immediately.
10.1.4.1. Using and Infection Control of the Probe

The ultrasonographic image scanner uses ultrasound, and makes direct contact with the
patient when in use. Depending on the types of examinations, such contact can be made to
a wide variety of locations, including the ordinary skin or the location of blood transfusion
during a surgical procedure.
The most effective method of preventing infection among patients is to use each probe only
once. However, probes may need to be reused, as they are complex in design and
expensive. Consequently, the safety instructions must be followed carefully in order to
minimize the risk of infection among patients.
No neurosurgical treatments or examinations should be carried out on a patient

with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. If the probe has been used on such a patient, it
cannot be sterilized by any method whatsoever.
If the probe or product is contaminated, dispose of it according to the local
WARNING biohazardous waste disposal procedures.
Sufficient washing and disinfecting must be carried out to prevent infection. This
is the responsibility of the user who manages and maintains the disinfection
procedures for the equipment. Always use legally approved cleansing solutions
and sheaths.
CAUTION
10.1.4.2. Electric Shocks

The probe uses electrical energy. If it touches conductive materials, there are risks of electric
shocks to the patient or the user.
■ If damage to the product (lens, cable) that can cause electric shock is found,
discontinue use of the device immediately and contact your Samsung
Medison representative.
■ Do not immerse the probe into liquid.
WARNING
■ Do not touch the probe connectors or the connection pins on the product.

10.1.6.2. Precautions for Using the Probe
Do not use the product with a probe temperature outside the range of 25°C to
42°C. It may cause damage to the human body.
DANGER
■ Prolonged pressure on the esophagus by the tip of the probe may lead to a
Pressure Necrosis phenomenon. Thus, the tip should be removed from the
esophagus wall when you are not scanning by releasing the tip in the straight
position (no tilting). If continuous monitoring is required, the probe tip should
CATUION often be re-positioned.
■ Whenever active scanning is not desired, ‘freeze’ the image and release the
tip in the straight position (no tilting).
■ Position the lens such, that good acoustical contact is established. Before
rotating the scan plane, actuate the Brake Mode on the up/down movement.
If this is not done, rotating the scan plane can mean loss of acoustical
contact.

CAUTION
10.2. 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 imaging system shows the needle, which penetrates through the skin surface
and veins, along with the examined body part, minimizing the potential risks to the patient.
■ Ultrasonographic studies using a biopsy kit must be conducted by a physician

or qualified, experienced healthcare professional. Make sure that you comply
with the preventive safety measures and sterilization procedure in all
environments.
CAUTION ■ Do not use the biopsy kit for purposes other than ultrasonographic studies
such as human anatomical dissection.
■ If the biopsy kit is not used according to the user manual or is used
inappropriately, the user has a responsibility.
■ Please make sure to read the User Manual thoroughly.
10.2.1. Biopsy Kit Components

The biopsy kit consists of the bracket, needle guide, and needle. The components vary
depending on the probe type.
[Figure 10.12 Biopsy Kit Components]
① Bracket: Prevents the needle guide from shaking by securing it to the probe tightly.
② Needle Guide: Guides the angle (direction) of the needle so that it may reach the biopsy
target accurately. It also secures the needle so that the needle does not waver.
③ Needle: This is the needle that is inserted into the patient’s body. The biopsy kit supplied
by Samsung Medison does not contain a needle.
Sheath: Prevents the probe and bracket from being contaminated by any unwanted
substances (blood or other bodily fluids) discharged during examinations.
Ultrasound gel: Ensures the best quality images by filling the air space between the probe
and the sheath with the ultrasound gel.
10.2.2. Using Biopsy Kit
■ Only use needles approved for use in your country.

■ Verify the condition of the biopsy needle before use. Do not use a bent biopsy
needle.
WARNING ■ The needle and guide must be sterilized before use.
■ The needle may bend while penetrating a tissue. Therefore, the precise
location of the needle must be checked by monitoring the echo generated
from the needle.
For more information about conducting ultrasonographic studies using the

biopsy kit, please contact the biopsy kit manufacturer.
CAUTION
10.2.2.1. Before Using Biopsy Kit

Check all the components of the biopsy kit. Ensure that the biopsy kit you are using is
compatible with the probe, system, and system software.
■ Biopsy kits not supplied by Samsung Medison may not be compatible with
the probes. Always use biopsy kits supplied by Samsung Medison, since
improper setup may adversely affect the patient.
WARNING ■ Be sure to read the instructions for installing a sheath and aligning the needle
guide thoroughly before performing a biopsy.
■ Always ensure that the probe and the needle guide are secured on both the
left and the right sides.
10.2.2.2. Biopsy Procedure

The system generates a needle guideline through the displayed real-time ultrasound images
to indicate the anticipated path of the needle. Use this guideline to ensure that the needle or
other instrument follows 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. If necessary, apply acoustic gel to the
patient.
4. Scan the patient. Adjust the patient so that the location for examination fits into the
needle guideline on the screen.
5. Insert the needle into the needle guide. Perform the puncture by sliding the needle
through the groove in the guide until the needle intercepts the target.
To prevent the needle from shaking, press down on the top of the needle guide with your
index finger during examinations.
6. When the examination site is reached, take the needle out of the needle guide.
7. Detach the needle guide, bracket, and sheath from the probe.
8. Dispose of the components that are not designed for reuse.
■ Dispose of non-reusable components according to infectious waste

regulations.
■ Sterilize reusable components before disposing of them.
CAUTION
10.2.2.3. Needle Guide Alignment

Alignment of the needle guide displayed on the system is for the purpose of verifying
whether the needle and the needle guide are properly installed. This must be done prior to
biopsy. If the needle fails to follow an accurate path while verifying the alignment of needle
guide, stop using the product and contact Samsung Medison Customer Support Department.
Reverberation or other tissue artifacts may produce false needle images on the screen.
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 alignment verification must not be used for the actual
procedure. Always use a sterile needle for each biopsy procedure.
■ To assist in accurate projection of the needle, use a straight, new needle for
WARNING each alignment procedure.
■ The needle guideline only displays the projected path of the needle. Since
the default line may be different from the actual line, the actual location of the
needle must be checked by monitoring the echo from the needle.
1. Attach the biopsy kit.

2. Set the system depth for the procedure to be performed and select the Biopsy menu.
3. Immerse the probe into the water bath, and insert the needle into the needle guide.
4. Confirm that the needle image is on the needle guidelines. If it is, then the needle guide is
properly aligned.
5. If the needle image displayed on the screen is out of the needle guideline, check the
needle guide or the probe bracket, etc.
10.2.3. Assembling the Biopsy Kit
10.2.3.1. Stainless Steel Biopsy Kit
