1-3-3
WARNING
Mechanical Safety
WHEN THE UNIT IS RAISED FOR A REPAIR OR MOVED ALONG ANY INCLINE, USE EXTREME CAUTION SINCE IT MAY BECOME UNSTABLE AND TIP OVER. ULTRASOUND PROBES ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS THAT CAN EASILY BE DAMAGED BY IMPROPER HANDLING. USE CARE WHEN HANDLING AND PROTECT FROM DAMAGE WHEN NOT IN USE. DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE PROBE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. NEVER USE A PROBE THAT HAS FALLEN TO THE FLOOR. EVEN IF IT LOOKS OK, IT MAY BE DAMAGED.
Always lower and center the Operator I/O Panel before moving the scanner. The Voluson 730 weighs 136 kgor more, depending on installed peripherals, (300 lbs., or more) when ready for use. Care must be used when moving it or replacing its parts. Failure to follow the precautions listed could result in injury, uncontrolled motion and costly damage. ALWAYS: Be sure the pathway is clear. Use slow, careful motions. Use two people when moving on inclines or lifting more than 16 kg (35 lbs).

Section 1-4 EMC, EMI, and ESD

1-4-1 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Electromagnetic compatibility describes a level of performance of a device within its electromagnetic environment. This environment consists of the device itself and its surroundings including other equipment, power sources and persons with which the device must interface. Inadequate compatibility results when a susceptible device fails to perform as intended due interference from its environment or when the device produces unacceptable levels of emission to its environment. This interference is often referred to as radiofrequency or electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI) and can be radiated through space or conducted over interconnecting power of signal cables. In addition to electromagnetic energy, EMC also includes possible effects from electrical fields, magnetic fields, electrostatic discharge and disturbances in the electrical power supply. For applicable standards refer to Chapter 2 in the Basic User Manual.
1-4-2
CE Compliance
The Voluson 730 unit conforms to all applicable conducted and radiated emission limits and to immunity from electrostatic discharge, radiated and conducted RF fields, magnetic fields and power line transient requirements.
NOTE:
For CE Compliance, it is critical that all covers, screws, shielding, gaskets, mesh, clamps, are in good condition, installed tightly without skew or stress. Proper installation following all comments noted in this service manual is required in order to achieve full EMC performance.

It is recommended that the branch circuit breaker for the machine be readily accessible.
CAUTION POWER OUTAGE MAY OCCUR.
The Voluson 730 requires a dedicated single branch circuit. To avoid circuit overload and possible loss of critical care equipment, make sure you DO NOT have any other equipment operating on the same circuit. 2-2-2-4 Site Power Outlets A dedicated AC power outlet must be within reach of the unit without extension cords. Other adequate outlets for the external peripherals, medical and test equipment needed to support this unit must also be present within 1 m (3.2 ft.) of the unit. Electrical installation must meet all current local, state, and national electrical codes. 2-2-2-5 Unit Power Plug If the unit arrives without a power plug, or with the wrong plug, you must contact your GEdealer or the installation engineer must supply what is locally required.

EMI Limitations
Ultrasound machines are susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from radio frequencies, magnetic fields, and transients in the air or wiring. Ultrasound machines also generate EMI. The Voluson 730 complies with limits as stated on the EMC label. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Possible EMI sources should be identified before the unit is installed. Electrical and electronic equipment may produce EMI unintentionally as the result of a defect. These sources include: medical lasers, scanners, cauterizing guns, computers, monitors, fans, gel warmers, microwave ovens, light dimmers portable phones.
The presence of a broadcast station or broadcast van may also cause interference. See Table 2-4 for EMI Prevention tips.
Table 2-4
EMI Prevention/Abatement
Details
Keep the unit at least 5 meters or 15 feet away from other EMI sources. Special shielding may be required to eliminate interference problems caused by high frequency, high powered radio or video broadcast signals. Poor grounding is the most likely reason a unit will have noisy images. Check grounding of the power cord and power outlet. After you finish repairing or updating the system, replace all covers and tighten all screws. Any cable with an external connection requires a magnet wrap at each end. Install the shield over the front of card cage. Loose or missing covers or RF gaskets allow radio frequencies to interfere with the ultrasound signals. If more than 20% or a pair of the fingers on an RF gasket are broken, replace the gasket. Do not turn on the unit until any loose metallic part is removed. Never place a label where RF gaskets meet the unit. Otherwise, the gap created will permit RF leakage. Or, if a label has been found in such a position, move the label.
EMI Rule
Be aware of RF sources
Ground the unit
Replace all screws, RF gaskets, covers, cores
Replace broken RF gaskets Do not place labels where RF gaskets touch metal
Use GE specified harnesses The interconnect cables are grounded and require ferrite beads and other shielding. Also, cable and peripherals length, material, and routing are all important; do not change from what is specified. Take care with cellular phones Properly dress peripheral cables Cellular phones may transmit a 5 V/m signal; that could cause image artifacts. Do not allow cables to lie across the top of the card cage or hang out of the peripheral bays. Loop the excess length for peripheral cables inside the peripheral bays. Attach the monitor cables to the frame.

Section 2-3 Facility Needs

2-3-1 Purchaser Responsibilities
The work and materials needed to prepare the site is the responsibility of the purchaser. Delay, confusion, and waste of manpower can be avoided by completing pre installation work before delivery. Use the Pre installation checklist to verify that all needed steps have been taken. Purchaser responsibility includes: NOTE: Procuring the materials required. Completing the preparations before delivery of the ultrasound system. Paying the costs for any alterations and modifications not specifically provided in the sales contract.
All electrical installations that are preliminary to the positioning of the equipment at the site prepared for the equipment must be performed by licensed electrical contractors. Other connections between pieces of electrical equipment, calibrations, and testing must also be performed by qualified personnel. The products involved (and the accompanying electrical installations) are highly sophisticated and special engineering competence is required. All electrical work on these products must comply with the requirements of applicable electrical codes. The purchaser of GE equipment must only utilize qualified personnel to perform electrical servicing on the equipment. The desire to use a nonlisted or customer provided product or to place an approved product further from the system than the interface kit allows presents challenges to the installation team. To avoid delays during installation, such variances should be made known to the individuals or group performing the installation at the earliest possible date (preferably prior to the purchase). The ultrasound suite must be clean prior to delivery of the machine. Carpet is not recommended because it collects dust and creates static. Potential sources of EMI (electromagnetic interference) should also be investigated before delivery. Dirt, static, and EMI can negatively impact system reliability.

Networking Pre-installation Requirements

Purpose of the DICOM Network Function DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) services provide the operator with clinically useful features for moving images and patient information over a hospital network. Examples of DICOM services include the transfer of images to workstations for viewing or transferring images to remote printers. As an added benefit, transferring images in this manner frees up the onboard monitor and peripherals, enabling viewing to be done while scanning continues. With DICOM, images can be archived, stored, and retrieved faster, easier, and at a lower cost.
2-3-5-2
DICOM Option Pre-installation Requirements To configure the Voluson 730 to work with other network connections, the sites network administrator must provide some necessary information.

DANGER
Safety Reminders WHEN USING ANY TEST INSTRUMENT THAT IS CAPABLE OF OPENING THE AC GROUND LINE (I.E., METERS GROUND SWITCH IS OPEN), DONT TOUCH THE UNIT!
Two people should unpack the unit because of its weight. Two people are required whenever a part weighing 16kg (35 lb.) or more must be lifted. If the unit is very cold or hot, do not turn on its power until it has had a chance to acclimate to its operating environment. To prevent electrical shock, connect the unit to a properly grounded power outlet. Do not use a three to two prong adapter. This defeats safety grounding. Do NOT wear the ESD wrist strap when you work on live circuits and more than 30 V peak is present. Do not use a20 Amp to 15 Amp adapter on the 120 Vac units power cord. This unit requires a dedicated 16 A circuit. Do not operate this unit unless all board covers and frame panels are securely in place. System performance and cooling require this. OPERATOR MANUAL(S) The User Manual(s) should be fully read and understood before operating the Voluson 730 and kept near the unit for quick reference. ACOUSTIC OUTPUT HAZARD Although the ultrasound energy transmitted from the Voluson 730 probe is within FDA limits, avoid unnecessary exposure.

FFC combines a low frequency to increase the penetration and higher frequency to keep a high resolution. It reduces speckle and artifacts in the 2D-image. Pulses are transmitted not only perpendicularly to the acoustic window, but also in oblique directions. The advantages of CRI are enhanced contrast resolution with better tissue differentiation and clear organ borders. Advantage of the Trapezoid-Mode: The scan area is very increased in relation to the linear display by steering the ultrasound lines in the border of the probe. Use the LEFT/RIGHT respectively the UP/DOWN keys on the Touch Panel to alternate the image orientation. Use this control to select a part of interest of the 2D-Image. The advantage of the decreased field-of-view is an increased 2D frame rate due to the smaller sector width. This function allows the adjustment of the Volume O-Axis position of 3D probes in 2D-Mode. The green line in the displayed symbol indicates the position of the acoustic block. Image magnification (Pan Zoom) in Read-/ and Write-Mode.

2D-Mode Functions
Persistence is a temporal filter that averages frames together. This has the effect of presenting a smoother, softer image. The signals of the neighboring pulses are less weighted for the display of the actual pulse which considerably improves the detail lateral resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. Dynamic Range controls how echo intensities are converted to shades of gray, thereby increasing the adjustable range of contrast. Edge Enhance brings out subtle tissue differences and boundaries by enhancing the gray scale differences corresponding to the edges of structures. Adjustments to M Mode's edge enhancement affects the M Mode only. Selects a level below which echoes will not be amplified (an echo must have a certain minimum amplitude before it will be processed). Control to improve the resolution by reducing the frame rate. Respectively reducing the resolution by increasing the image frame rate.

It serves for selection of the Transmit Frequency which also depends on the Color-Box position. Controls the number of pulses to constitute one Color- or Power-Doppler line in the display. Dynamic range refers to the compression of grayscale information into a suitable range for the display. It allows you to enhance an interesting part of the grayscale. Determines the line density within the Color-Box. The lower the line density, the larger the line distance and the size of the color pixels. The maximum velocities are displayed above and under the color scale in kHz, cm/s or m/s. Provides selectability of the color coding for an optimization of the display of blood flow (similar to the post-processing curves with grayscale 2D scans). After a selection has been made, the color bar displays the resultant map. The Balance controls the amount of Color display over bright echoes and helps to confine color within the vessel walls. Switch on/off the artifact suppression. The baseline shift can be used to prevent aliasing in one flow direction similar to the Doppler baseline shift. There are 8 steps in each direction.

1.) Before installing an MO disk in the MOD, check the MO disk for loose hardware or damaged labels which could jam inside the MOD. Also, ensure that the slide switch in one corner of the disk is set so that the disk is write enabled (disk hole closed). 2.) Insert the disk into the MOD with the label facing up.
NOTICE
Never move the unit with a disk in the MOD because the drive actuator will not be locked and the MOD could break. 3.) There are different methods to eject a disk from the MOD. Manual ejection methods are listed below in preferred order from best (1) to worst (3). a.) Press the EJECT switch on the MOD while system is ON. b.) Press and hold the EJECT switch while the system is booting. c.) Mechanical ejection. Insert the end of a paper clip into the hole next to the EJECT switch while system power is OFF.
NOTICE
Avoid mechanical ejection whenever possible. Mechanical ejection leaves the actuator unlocked and the MOD susceptible to damage if moved. If forced to use this method, reboot the system, then insert and eject a known good disk using one of the other manual ejection methods.

Section 5-2
The Voluson 730 used digital beam forming technology which provides high resolution and high penetration performance. It is a general purpose, mobile, software controlled diagnostic ultrasound scanner. Its function is to acquire ultrasound data and to display the data of different modes. Voluson 730 gives the operator the ability to measure anatomical structures and offers analysis packages that provide information that is used to make a diagnosis by competent health care professionals. The Calculation and Report function supports 4 application packages: The Voluson 730 supports a variety of linear-, curved-, phased array and pencil probes for various clinical applications. Any three probes may be connected at the same time (+ one pencil CW-probe). Medical application fields include: Obstetrics Gynecology and Fertility Radiology Internal Medicine Neurology Cardiology Oncology Urology Orthopedics Pediatrics Obstetric Calculations Gynecology Calculations Cardiology Calculations Vascular Calculations
The system is designed for follow-up expansion. In addition to the initial operational settings for each transducer pre-programmed in the system, usercustomized parameter settings for each transducer may be inserted by the operator and stored for recall as needed via the system control panel. System configuration is stored on the hard drive and all necessary software is loaded from the hard drive on power up. Biopsy guidelines are provided on screen to assist in the collection of tissue samples, using biopsy guide adapters offered as an optional accessory. The system provides the ability to perform remote viewing of images without compression, via DICOM 3.0 compatible output. Management of patient history is possible by Sonoview image-filing function. High-resolution images are provided by utilizing a technology called digital dynamic receive focusing. Signal flow travels from the Probe Connector Panel to the Front End Electronics, to the Back-End Processor, and finally displayed on the monitor and peripherals. For more detailed explanations of functions and controls refer to the Voluson 730 Basic User Manual.

Description of Voluson 730 Operating Modes

B-Mode or 2D-Mode: B-Mode or 2D-mode is a two-dimensional image of the amplitude of the echo signal. It is used for location and measurement of anatomical structures and for spatial orientation during operation of other modes. In 2D-mode, a two-dimensional cross-section of a three-dimensional soft tissue structure such as the heart is displayed in real time. Ultrasound echoes of different intensities are mapped to different gray scale or color values in the display. The outline of the 2D cross-section may be a rectangle, parallelogram, sector or 360-degree circle, depending on the particular transducer used. 2D-mode can be used in combination with any other mode.
5-2-1-2
M-Mode: In M-mode, soft tissue structure is presented as scrolling display, with depth on the Y-axis and time on the X-axis. It is used primarily for cardiac measurements such as value timing on septal wall thickness when accurate timing information is required. M-mode is also known as T-M mode or time-motion mode. Ultrasound echoes of different intensities are mapped to different gray scale values in the display. M-mode displays time motion information of the ultrasound data derived from a stationary beam. Depth is arranged along the vertical axis with time along the horizontal axis. M-mode is normally used in conjunction with a 2D image for spatial reference. The 2D image has a graphical line (M-line) superimposed on the 2D image indicating where the M-mode beam is located.
5-2-1-3
Color Doppler Mode: Color Doppler is used to detect motion presented as a two-dimensional display. There are three applications of this technique: Color Flow Mode (C) - used to visualize blood flow velocity and direction Power Doppler (PD) - used to visualize the spatial distribution of blood Tissue Doppler (TD) - used to visualize tissue motion direction and velocity (optional see 5-2-5-8) Color Flow Mode:
5-2-1-3-1
a real-time two-dimensional cross-section image of blood flow is displayed. The 2D cross-section may be presented as a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, sector, or a full circle, depending on the particular transducer used. The 2D cross-section is presented as a full color display, with various colors being used to represent blood flow (velocity, variance, power and/or direction). Often, to provide spatial orientation, the full color blood flow cross-section is overlaid on top of the grayscale cross-section of soft tissue structure (2D echo). For each pixel in the overlay, the decision of whether to display color (Doppler), gray scale (echo) information or a blended combination is based on the relative strength of return echoes from the soft tissue structures and from the red blood cells. Blood velocity is the primary parameter used to determine the display colors, but power and variance may also used. A high pass filter (wall filter) is used to remove the signals from stationary or slowly moving structures. Tissue motion is discriminated from blood flow by assuming that blood is moving faster than the surrounding tissue, although additional parameters may also be used to enhance the discrimination. Color flow can be used in combination with 2D and Spectral Doppler modes. 5-2-1-3-2 Power Doppler:

The 2D cross-section may be presented as a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, sector, or a full circle, depending on the particular transducer used. The 2D cross-section is presented as a full color display, with various colors being used to represent the power in blood flow echoes. Often, to provide spatial orientation, the full color blood flow cross-section is overlaid on top of the gray scale cross-section of soft tissue structure (2D echo). For each pixel in the overlay, the decision of whether to display color (Doppler power), gray scale (echo) information or a blended combination is based on the relative strength of return echoes from the soft-tissue structures and from the red blood cells. A high pass filter (wall filter) is used to remove the signals from stationary or slowly moving structures. 5-6 Section 5-2 - General Information
Tissue motion is discriminated from blood flow by assuming that blood is moving faster than the surrounding tissue, although additional parameters may also be used to enhance the discrimination. The power in the remaining signal after wall filtering is then averaged over time (persistence) to present a steady state image of blood flow distribution. Power Doppler can be used in combination with 2D and Spectral Doppler modes as well as with 3D mode. 5-2-1-4 Pulsed (PW) Doppler: PW Doppler processing is one of two spectral Doppler modalities, the other being CW Doppler. In spectral Doppler, blood flow is presented as a scrolling display, with flow velocity on the Y-axis and time on the X-axis. The presence of spectral broadening indicates turbulent flow, while the absence of spectral broadening indicates laminar flow. PW Doppler provides real time spectral analysis of pulsed Doppler signals. This information describes the Doppler shifted signal from the moving reflectors in the sample volume. PW Doppler can be used alone but is normally used in conjunction with a 2D image with an M-line and sample volume marker superimposed on the 2-D image indicating the position of the Doppler sample volume. The sample volume size and location are specified by the operator. Sample volume can be overlaid by a flow direction cursor which is aligned, by the operator, with the direction of flow in the vessel, thus determining the Doppler angle. This allows the spectral display to be calibrated in flow velocity (m/sec) as well as frequency (Hz). PW Doppler also provides the capability of performing spectral analysis at a selectable depth and sample volume size. PW Doppler can be used in combination with 2D and Color Flow modes.

3D Imaging
The Voluson 730 Ultrasound System will be used to acquire multiple, sequential 2D images which can be combined to reconstruct a three dimensional image. These 3D images are useful in visualizing threedimensional structures, and in understanding the spatial or temporal relationships between the images in the 2D sequence. The 3D image is presented using standard visualization techniques, such as surface or volume rendering.
5-2-2-1
3D Data Collection and Reconstruction: 2D gray scale including Power Doppler images may be reconstructed. The acquisition of volume data sets is performed by sweeping 2D-scans with special transducers (called 3D-transducers) designed for the 2D-scans and the 3D-sweep. Images are spatially registered, using internal probe position sensing and a position control to ensure geometric accuracy of the 3D data. 2D ultrasound imaging modes are used to view a two dimensional cross-sections of parts of the body. For example in 2D gray scale imaging, a 2 dimensional cross-section of a 3-dimensional soft-tissue structure such as the heart is displayed in real time. Typically, the user of an ultrasound machine manipulates the position and orientation of this 2D cross-section in real time during an ultrasound exam. By changing the position of the cross-section, a variety of views of the underlying structure are obtained, and these views can be used to understand a 3-dimensional structure in the body. To complete survey a 3-dimensional structure in the body, it is necessary to collect 2D images which span a volume containing the structure. One way is to sweep the imaging cross-section by translating it in a direction perpendicular to the cross-section. Another example method is to rotate the cross section about a line contained in the cross section. The Voluson 730 Ultrasound System uses the automated so called C-Scan for the motion perpendicular to automated B-scan. Once a representative set of 2D cross-sections are obtained, standard reconstruction techniques can be used to construct other 2D cross-sections, or to view the collection of the cross-sections as a 3D images.

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS - KRETZTECHNIK ULTRASOUND DIRECTION 105844, REVISION 1 5-2-2-2 3D Image Presentation:
The basic technique for 3D image presentation is to combine the 2D cross sections into an image which represents how the volume of the data would appear from a particular viewing direction. The mathematics behind this feature is called 3D-rendering. Such combined images are called projections, because the data from the volume is projected onto a flat 2-dimensional surface(e.g. the ultrasound system display.) This technique can be applied to any 2D ultrasound mode. Several techniques can be used to aid the human observer in understanding the resulting 2D image as a representation of a three-dimensional object. One is to rotate the volume of data, and present the resulting sequence of 2D projections to the observer. The changing direction of observation helps the observer to separate the features in the volume according to their distance from the observer. 5-2-2-3 3D Rendering: The 3D (volume) rendering is a calculation process to visualize certain 3D-structures of a scanned volume by means of a 2D-image. The gray value for each pixel of the 2D-image is calculated from the voxels along the corresponding projection path (analyzing beam) through the volume. The render (calculation) algorithm, surface or transparent mode, determines how 3D-structures are visualized. With the MagiCut function it is possible to cut off 3D artifacts which hide regions that are of interest for the diagnostic purpose.

Dataflow Control Description

This section describes the functions of the Voluson 730 Boards vs. different Operation Modes. CPC - System Control Board CPR - Beam former Board CPG - Mid-Processor Board CPF - Color Doppler Board CPS - Scan converter Board (CPS-Blockdiagram) see Figure 5-11 on page 5-25 CKV - PC-Video converter Board
5-2-4-1
B-Mode 1.) CPC The CPC contains the Clock-Oscillator (60MHz) and PRF-Generator. It generates (drives) BF (=Beam former)-ASIC-Clock (60MHz) and shots for the CPR. Instructs the BF-ASIC of TX-Frequ, TX-RX-Focus and Line number (lateral Position). The CPC contains the TX-Power-DAC. 2.) CPR Contains 32 CPD (BF-Subboards). The CPD consists of BF-ASIC, TX-Amplifier, RX-TGC-Amplifier, Signal-ADC. Each CPD can support 8 TX-Channels and 4 RX-Channels. 3.) CPG Contains Multibeam-DeInterleave, Subtraction Filter (for THI), Digital TGC, DC-Canceler, Mixer with NCO (Numeric Controlled Oscillator), FIR-LP (Low Pass Filter), Decimation, Magnitude Calculator, Log.Amp, Re-Sample, Edge Enhance, Line Filter, Blending and Frame Filter. The signal is Multibeam-deinterleaved (the incoming signal is TDMA-multiplexed shot1- shot2shot3- shot4- shot1...). After DC-cancelling the sig is mixed with the NCO-generated RX-Frequency and brought to LF-Spectrum, where the FIR-LP cuts HF. The Magnitude-Calculator arranges the Complex Demodulation, and the Log.Amp the Conversion from High-Dynamic Linear Signal to the Low-Dynamik(e.g.8Bit) Log-Signal. Several Postprocessors (Line Filter, Frame Filter, ReSample, Edge Enhance) enable smooth image quality while keeping contrast high. Special B-Mode Techniques: a.) FFC (Frequency and Focus Composite) 2 or more TX-shots are placed to the same Tissue-location. The shots have different TXfocus. By means of Blending they are composed to one whole RX-Line. TX-Channel: ASIC generates TX-Freq through dividing 60MHz by 2,3,4,5,... and TX-Focus. RX-Channel: ASIC generates Sample-Clocks for the ADC, manages RX-Focus (Delay and Chain-Adder) and Apodization.

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS - KRETZTECHNIK ULTRASOUND DIRECTION 105844, REVISION 1 b.) THI = HAR (Tissue Harmonic Imaging)
Generally with THI the RX-Frequency is doubled, so that the axial resolution is increased due to the higher RX-Frequency. Another step of THI is the pulse-inversion: 2 TX-shots are placed to the same Tissue-location, one with positive, one with negative polarity. The Subtraction of both shots (Subtraction Filter) brings to bear the nonlinear-echo-reflection-properties of the tissue (especially in usage of Contrast-medias), which is very useful with extremely difficultto-scan patients. c.) CRI (Contrast Resolution Imaging) Does not need any special functions of CPG. Image is composed of Single different-direction-steered images. PC-calculated. d.) VCI (Volume Contrast Imaging) Does not need any special functions of CPG. Image is composed of single at close range placed images. PC-calculated. (Only possible with 4D-Probes). 4.) CPF Has no function in B-Mode. 5.) CPS B-mode-Data from CPG are written into Line Memory (Cine Mode-Mem). The DSC (Dig.ScanConverter) reads out the Lines and writes them scan converted (A-mode-polar to Bmode-cartesian) into the Frame Memory. From there the non deflected Image can be read out and overlaid with the rest of the Monitor-Image. see: 6.) CKV Cine Mode: Same, Cine Mode-Memory is the Line Memory. 6.) CKV Is the Graphic Board of the PC. Special function for B-MODE: The above mentioned overlayfunction is performed here. 5-2-4-2 M-Mode 1.) CPC see: 5-2-4-1 B-Mode 2.) CPR see: 5-2-4-1 B-Mode 3.) CPG see: 5-2-4-1 B-Mode 4.) CPF see: 5-2-4-1 B-Mode 5.) CPS M-mode-Data from CPG are written into Line Memory (Cine Mode-Mem). The DSC (Dig.ScanConverter) reads out the Lines and writes them into the Frame Memory. From there the Lines can be read out and overlaid with the rest of the Monitor-Image. see: 6.)

Arranges the CFM-Processing. WMF (Wall Motion Filter), Autocorrelator, Post-processing. (In case that 3D-Color is active, else CPF not used) 5.) CPS Data from CPG and CPF go to both: a.) to the LineMemory,...FrameMemory,...CKV (see: 5-2-4-1 B-Mode) and b.) via DMA-Controller and PCI-Bus to the PC-Memory. The way from the Line Memory to the CKV is the same as in B-Mode. This is the only case that the Line Memory-Frame Memory-Path is active in context with 3D-Mode and Real Time 4D-Mode just for displaying the actual scanned 3D-Acquisition Sweep-B-Frame. All other displayed B-Frames in 3D-, 4D- or SonoView-Mode are PC-generated and do not need CPS any more. 6.) CKV see: 5-2-4-1 B-Mode 5-2-4-6 Real Time 4D-Mode 1.) CPC see: 5-2-4-1 B-Mode 2.)

(In case that 4D-Color is active, else CPF not used) 5.) CPS In Real Time 4D the signal path is even simpler than in 3D, because we do not have to display the actual scanned 3D-Acquisition Sweep-B-Frame. Data from CPG and CPF go via DMA-Controller and PCI-Bus to the PC-Memory. All displayed B-Frames are PC-generated and do not need CPS any more. 6.) CKV see: 5-2-4-1 B-Mode

V-Rec-Data from the CKV-Video-Decoder are input to the CPS via the CFM-Data-Bus (CPF must disable Output-Driver). In the LM-FPGA the data are synchronized and output to the FM-FPGA. In the Extern-Video Mode the FM-FPGA is specially configured, thats why the right part of the CPSBlockdiagram is not valid in this Mode.

Real Time 4D Real Time 4D mode is obtained through continuous volume acquisition and parallel calculation of 3D rendered images. In Real Time 4D mode the volume acquisition box is at the same time the render box. All information in the volume box is used for the render process. In Real Time 4D mode a frame rate of up 16 volumes/second is possible. By freezing the acquired volumes, size can be adjusted, manipulated manually as known from the Voluson 3D Mode.

DICOM V730 software package providing following DICOM functionality: Storage Service Class Print Management Service Class Modality Worklist Management Service Class
Sending of reports - All OB/Gyn measurements can be sent to a PC. Receiving of these reports is supported by ViewPoint workstation PIA only. All other workstations can be adapted individually. 5-2-5-3 Real Time 4D-Biopsy For minimal invasive procedures like biopsies, ultrasound is a widely used method to visualize and guide the needle during puncture. The advantage in comparison with other imaging methods is the realtime display, quick availability and easy access to any desired region of the patient. The 4D biopsy allows for real time control of the biopsy needle in 3D multi-planar display during the puncture. The user is able to see the region of interest in three perpendicular planes (longitudinal, transversal and frontal section) and can guide the biopsy needle accurately into the centre of the lesion. 5-2-5-4 VOCAL - Virtual Organ Computer-aided Analysis Diagnosis and therapy of cancer is one of the most important issues in medical care.The new VOCAL- Imaging program is an extension of the 3DView software, integrated in Kretztechniks VOLUSON sonography systems and also available for PC. It allows completely new possibilities in cancer diagnosis, therapy planning and follow-up therapy control. Chapter 5 Components and Functions (Theory) 5-15
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS - KRETZTECHNIK ULTRASOUND DIRECTION 105844, REVISION 1 VOCAL offers different functions:
Volume Calculation - Manual tracing of contours in three dimensions 3D Color Histogram - Automatic calculation of the vascularization Shell Imaging - construction of a virtual shell which covers the entire contour to separately calculate internal tumor vascularization and peripheral vascularization for tumor therapy planning and follow up control. 5-2-5-5 Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI) In Tissue Harmonic Imaging, acoustic aberrations due to tissue are minimized by receiving and processing the second harmonic signal that is generated within the insonified tissue. Voluson`s high performance THI provides superb detail resolution and penetration, outstanding contrast resolution, excellent acoustic clutter rejection and an easy to operate user interface for switching into THI mode. 5-2-5-6 Sonoview Image Management Sonoview, optional software for digital image management on ultrasound system, stores and transfers ultrasound images and Kretz volume files (V730). Sonoview allows users to store, view, report, and transfer images and volumes stored on the Voluson 730. In addition, Sonoview allows users to send and print images via DICOM network also. Sonoview enables storage and retrieval of 2D Images and Cine Loops as well as 3D/RT4D volumes and Live3D and RT4D sequences on HD-Drive, MO-Drive and CD-Drive. 5-2-5-7 CRI - Compound Resolution Imaging In this special B-mode, beams are transmitted not only perpendicularly to the acoustic window, but also in oblique directions. Between three and nine beams are correlated to form one image line. The advantages of Compound Resolution Imaging are enhanced contrast resolution with better tissue differentiation and clear organ borders. Also vessel walls and tissue layers are emphasized for easier recognition. 5-2-5-8 Tissue Doppler Imaging The Tissue Color Doppler Imaging is used for color encoded evaluation of heart movements. The TD image provides information about tissue motion direction and velocity. 5-2-5-9 VCI - Volume Contrast Imaging Volume Contrast Imaging utilizes 4D transducers to automatically scan multiple adjacent slices and delivers a real-time display of the ROI. This image results from a special rendering mode consisting of texture and transparency information. VCI improves the contrast resolution and therefore facilitates finding of diffuse lesions in organs. VCI has more information (from multiple slices) and is of advantage in gaining contrast due to improved signal/noise ratio.

CW - Continuous Wave Doppler CW Doppler mode provides real time spectral analysis of CW Doppler signals. This information describes the Doppler shifted signal from the moving reflectors in the CW Doppler beam. CW Doppler can be referenced through a small pencil probe or phased array scan head, but it can also be used in conjunction with a 2D image which has an M-line superimposed on the 2D image indicating the position of the Doppler sample volume. For through-the-beamformer CW, this beam is steerable by the operator, and is done by adjusting the location of the M-line. The CW Doppler beam, or M-mode line, can be steered allowing interrogation along an operator-selected line within the image. This option can be upgraded by implementing the CW-Dopplerboard (CRW, old version CWD).
5-2-6-2
ECG Digital Module The ECG-preamplifier is used for acquiring an ECG-signal to be displayed with the ultrasound image. This optional peripheral serves for gaining an ECG-signal to mark the systolic and end diastolic moments in M-Mode and Doppler evaluations. The ECG-preamplifier must not be used for ECG-diagnostics. It is not intended for use as a cardiac monitor and must not be used for an intra-operative application on the heart. 1.) MAN3 (external version) 2.) MAN6 (internal, digital version)

CPN-Module (Primary Power Module)

Mechanical Concept and Overview The AC Powers main tasks are to supply the various internal subsystems with AC power and to galvanically isolate the scanner from the on site Mains Power System. To reduce inrush current, an inrush current limiter as well as an EMI filter. Voltage to peripherals can be configured to either 115 VAC or 230 VAC. The mains cord has plugs in both ends. A female plug connects to the scanner and a male plug to the mains outlet on site. The mains voltage is routed via an EMI filter to the Mains Switch, located on the rear of the system. The Mains Switch is of the auto fuse type, if for some reason the current grows to high, the switch will automatically break the power. From the Mains Switch, the AC power is routed via an Inrush Current Limiter to a internal outlet connector for the Mains Transformer.
5-11-1-2
Major Functions of CPN Inrush Current limiter Power factor correction transformer for Sinus load for the mains voltage Power down Circuitry + Standby-Switch The CPN module generates 57VDC (+/-2V) as an input voltage for the Secondary Power supply of the GEF module. The CPN module contains also the isolation transformer for the peripherals. (Maximum load: 350 VA; see: Basic User Manual Chapter 22 Technical Data/Information)
NOTE: NOTE:
All DC-supply voltages for built in peripherals are generated in GEF-module not inside CPN. The system mains supply input voltage can be set to: 100V,115V,130V,230V,240V. The output voltages may be set to 110V or 230VAC (independent from the input voltages)

Figure 5-19 Fuses 5-11-1-4 Fuses inside CPN F1 on CCF board: fuses the surge current limiter circuit. NOTE: If this fuse is blown, the NTC (limiting the surge current will remain hot during system operation and if the system is switched off/on within a few seconds the surge current could be to high. Because of this reason Fuse F1 on CPN Rear Panel or the Hospital circuit fuse could be blown.

CAUTION Practice good ESD prevention. Wear an antistatic strap when handling electronic parts and
even when disconnecting/connecting cables.
DANGER
THERE ARE SEVERAL PLACES ON THE BACKPLANE, THE AC DISTRIBUTION, AND DC DISTRIBUTION THAT ARE DANGEROUS. BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE SYSTEM POWER PLUG AND SWITCH OFF THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER (F1) BEFORE YOU REMOVE ANY PARTS. BE CAUTIOUS WHENEVER POWER IS STILL ON AND COVERS ARE REMOVED.
CAUTION Do not pull out or insert circuit boards while power is ON. CAUTION Do not operate this unit unless all board covers and frame panels are securely in place. System
performance and cooling require this.
10-1
Section 10-2 Why do Periodic Maintenance

10-2-1 Keeping Records
It is good business practice that ultrasound facilities maintain records of periodic and corrective maintenance. The Ultrasound Periodic Maintenance Inspection Certificate provides the customer with documentation that the ultrasound scanner is maintained on a periodic basis. A copy of the Ultrasound Periodic Maintenance Inspection Certificate should be kept in the same room or near the scanner.
10-2-2
Quality Assurance
In order to gain accreditation from organizations such as the American College of Radiology (USA), it is the customers responsibility to have a quality assurance program in place for each scanner. The program must be directed by a medical physicists, the supervising radiologist/physician or appropriate designer. Routine quality control testing must occur regularly. The same tests are performed during each period so that changes can be monitored over time and effective corrective action can be taken. Testing results, corrective action and the effects of corrective action must be documented and maintained on the site. Your GE service representative can help you with establishing, performing and maintaining records for a quality assurance program.
Section 10-3 Periodic Maintenance Schedule

10-3-1 How often should PMs be performed?
The Periodic Maintenance Schedule specifies how often your Voluson 730 should be serviced and what items need attention. It is the customers responsibility to ensure the Voluson 730 periodic maintenance is performed as scheduled in order to retain its high level of safety, dependability and performance. Your GEService Representative knows your Voluson 730 best and can provide competent, efficient service. Please contact us for further information and to schedule GE Medical SystemsUltrasound to perform this service for you. The services and intervals shown in the maintenance schedule assumes that you use your Voluson 730 for an average patient load (10-12 per day) and not use it as a primary mobile unit which is transported between diagnostic facilities. If conditions exist which exceed typical usage and patient load, then it is recommended to increase the periodic maintenance frequencies.

Basic Probe Care The probe user manuals provide a complete description of probe care, maintenance, cleaning and disinfection. Ensure that you are completely familiar with the proper care of GE probes. Ultrasound probes can be easily damaged by improper handling. See the Users Manual of the respective probe for more details. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury and equipment damage. Failure to properly handle or maintain a probe may also void its warranty. Any evidence of wear indicates the probe cannot be used. Do a visual check of the probe pins and system sockets before plugging in a probe.
10-5-7-3
Basic Probe Cleaning Refer to the Users Manual of the respective probe for details on cleaning.
NOTE: NOTE:
To help protect yourself from blood borne diseases, wear approved disposable gloves. These are made of nitrile derived from vegetable starch to prevent allergic latex reactions. Failure to follow the prescribed cleaning or disinfection procedures will void the probes warranty. DO NOT soak or wipe the lens with any product not listed in the User Manual. Doing so could result in irreparable damage to the probe. Follow care instructions that came with the probe. Disinfect a defective probe before you return it. Be sure to tag the probe as being disinfected.
NOTE:

Section 10-7 Electrical Safety Tests

10-7-1 Safety Test Overview
The electrical safety tests in this section are based on and conform to NFPA 99 (For USA) and IEC 60601-1 Medical Equipment Safety Standards. They are intended for the electrical safety evaluation of cord-connected, electrically operated, patient care equipment. If additional information is needed, refer to the NFPA 99 (For USA) and IEC 60601-1 documents.
WARNING
THE USER MUST ENSURE THAT THE SAFETY INSPECTIONS ARE PERFORMED AT LEAST EVERY 12 MONTHS ACCORDING TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PATIENT SAFETY STANDARD IEC-EN 60601-1. ONLY TRAINED PERSONS ARE ALLOWED TO PERFORM THE SAFETY INSPECTIONS MENTIONED ABOVE.
CAUTION To avoid electrical shock, the unit under test must not be connected to other electrical
equipment. Remove all interconnecting cables and wires. The unit under test must not be contacted by users or patients while performing these tests.
CAUTION Possible risk of infection. Do not handle soiled or contaminated probes and other components
that have been in patient contact. Follow appropriate cleaning and disinfecting procedures before handling the equipment.
Test the system, peripherals and probes for leakage current. Excessive leakage current can cause injury or death in sensitive patients. High leakage current can also indicate degradation of insulation and a potential for electrical failure. Do not use probes or equipment having excessive leakage current. To minimize the risk that a probe may shock someone the customer should: Not use a probe that is cracked or damaged in any way Check probe leakage current: * * * once a year on surface probes twice a year on endocavitary probes whenever probe damage is suspected

Generic Procedure The test verifies the isolation of the power line from the chassis. The testing meter is connected from accessible metal parts of the case to ground. Measurements should be made with the unit ON and OFF, with the power line polarity Normal and Reversed. Record the highest reading of current.
Figure 10-3 Set Up for Chassis Source Leakage Current, IEC 601-1 Clause 19 - Continuos Leakage Currents and Patient, Auxiliary Currents When using the Microguard or a similar test instrument, its power plug may be inserted into the wall outlet and the equipment under test is plugged into the receptacle on the panel of the meter. This places the meter in the grounding conductor and the current flowing from the case to ground will be indicated in any of the current ranges. The maximum allowable limit for chassis source leakage is shown in Table 10-11.

Section 10-8 When There's Too Much Leakage Current...

CHASSIS FAILS
Check the ground on the power cord and plug for continuity. Ensure the ground is not broken, frayed, or intermittent. Replace any defective part. Tighten all grounds. Ensure star washers are under all ground studs. Inspect wiring for bad crimps, poor connections, or damage. Test the wall outlet; verify it is grounded and is free of other wiring abnormalities. Notify the user or owner to correct any deviations. As a work around, check the other outlets to see if they could be used instead. NOTE: No outlet tester can detect the condition where the white neutral wire and the green grounding wire are reversed. If later tests indicate high leakage currents, this should be suspected as a possible cause and the outlet wiring should be visually inspected.
PROBE FAILS
Test the probe in another connector to isolate if the fault lies with the probe or the scanner. NOTE: Each probe will have some amount of leakage, dependent on its design. Small variations in probe leakage currents are normal from probe to probe. Other variations will result from differences in line voltage and test lead placement. The maximum allowable leakage current for body surface contact probe differs from inter-cavity probe. Be sure to enter the correct probe type in the appropriate space on the check list. If excessive leakage current is slot dependent, inspect the system connector for bent pins, poor connections, and ground continuity. If the problem remains with the probe, replace the probe.
PERIPHERAL FAILS
Tighten all grounds. Ensure star washers are under all ground studs. Inspect wiring for bad crimps, poor connections, or damage.
STILL FAILS
If all else fails, begin isolation by removing the probes, external peripherals, then the on board ones, one at a time while monitoring the leakage current measurement.
NEW UNIT
If the leakage current measurement tests fail on a new unit and if situation can not be corrected, submit a Safety Failure Report to document the system problem. Remove unit from operation.
ECG FAILS
Inspect cables for damage or poor connections.
