y Never use the product in proximity to any flammable anesthetic
gases(N2O) or oxidizing gases. There is a risk of explosion.
y Be sure only to use an AC adaptor that is recommended by MEDISON.
CAUTION y An isolation transformer protects the system from power surges. The isolation
transformer continues to operate when the system is in standby.
y Do not immerse the cable in liquids. Cables are not waterproof.
y Do not touch SIP/SOP and the patient simultaneously. There is a risk of electric
shock from leakage current.
2.3.2 ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), commonly referred to as a static shock, is a naturally
occurring phenomenon. ESD is most prevalent during conditions of low humidity, which
can be caused by heating or air conditioning. During low humidity conditions, electrical
charges naturally build up on individuals, creating static electricity. An ESD occurs when
an individual with an electrical energy build-up comes in contact with conductive objects
such as metal doorknobs, file cabinets, computer equipment, and even other individuals.
The static shock or ESD is a discharge of the electrical energy build-up from a charged
individual to a lesser or non-charged individual or object.
The ESD caution symbol is on the probe connector and the rear panel.
CAUTION y 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.
y Always perform the pre-ESD preventive procedures before using
connectors marked with the ESD warning label.
- Apply anti-static spray on carpets or linoleum.
- Use anti-static mats.
- Ground the product to the patient table or bed.
y It is highly recommended that the user be given training on ESD-
related warning symbols and preventive procedures.
2.3.3 EMI
Although this system has been manufactured in compliance with existing EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference) requirements, use of this system in the presence of an
electromagnetic field can cause momentary degradation of the ultrasound image.
If this occurs often, MEDISON suggests a review of the environment in which the system
is being used, to identify possible sources of radiated emissions. These emissions could
be from other electrical devices used within the same room or an adjacent room.
2.3.4 EMC
The testing for EMC(Electromagnetic Compatibility) of this system has been performed
according to the international standard for EMC with medical devices (IEC60601-1-2).
This IEC standard was adopted in Europe as the European norm (EN60601-1-2).
2) Probe
The transducers listed in Chapter 9. ‘Probes’ when used with this product,
have been tested to comply with Group 1 Class B emission as required by
International Standard CISPR

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey
should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Ultrasound System is used exceeds
the applicable RF compliance level above, the Ultrasound System should be observed to verify normal operation. If
abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the
Ultrasound System or using a shielded location with a higher RF shielding effectiveness and filter attenuation.
b Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80MHz, field strengths should be less than [V1] V/m.
The answers to these questions will help determine if the problem reside with
the system or the scanning environment. After you answer the question,
contact your local MEDISON customer service department.
y Check the operational safety when using the product after a prolonged break
in service.
y Make sure that foreign bodies, such as bits of metal, do not get into the
CAUTION system.
y Do not block the ventilation slots.

CAUTION Always turn the power off and disconnect the cables before moving the
product.
NOTE When using the MySono U5 CART, try to avoid parking it on a slope. If this
is necessary for a while, please lock the wheel brakes.
WARNING y Ultrasound waves may have damaging effects on cells and, therefore,
may be harmful to the patient. If there is no medical benefit, minimize
the exposure time and maintain the ultrasound wave output level at
low. Please refer to the ALARA principle.
y Do not use the system if an error message appears on the video
display indicating that a hazardous condition exists. Note the error
code, turn off the power to the system, and call your local MEDISON
Customer Service Department.
y Do not use a system that exhibits erratic or inconsistent updating.
Discontinuities in the scanning sequence are indicative of a hardware
failure that should be corrected before use.
y The system limits the maximum contact temperature to 43 degree
Celsius, and the ultrasonic waves output observes American FDA
regulations.
1) POWER
Power controls the system acoustic output. Two real-time output values are on the
screen: a TI and a MI. They change as the system responds to POWER adjustments.
In combined modes, such as simultaneous Color, 2D-mode and pulsed Doppler, the
individual modes each add to the total TI. One mode will be the dominant contributor
to this total. The displayed MI will be from the mode with the largest peak pressure.
2) Zoom
Increasing the zoom magnification may increase frame rate. This action will increase
the TI. The number of focal zones may also increase automatically to improve
resolution. This action may change MI since the peak intensity can occur at a different
depth.
3) Persistence
A lower persistence will decrease the TI. Pulse voltage may be automatically
increased. An increase in pulse voltage will increase MI.
4) Focal no.
More focal zones may change both the TI and MI by changing frame rate or focal
depth automatically. Lower frame rates decrease the TI. MI displayed will correspond
to the zone with the largest peak intensity.
5) Focus
Changing the focal depth will change the MI. Generally, higher MI values will occur
4) Scale
Using the SCALE control to increase the color velocity range may increase the TI.
The system will automatically adjust pulse voltage to stay below the system
maximums. A decrease in pulse voltage will also decrease MI.
5) Sec Width
A narrower 2D-mode sector width in Color imaging will increase color frame rate. The
TI will increase. MI will not change. If pulsed Doppler is also enabled, then pulsed
Doppler will remain as the primary mode and the TI change will be small.
1) Probe
Each probe model available has unique specifications for contact area, beam shape,
and center frequency. Defaults are initialized when you select a probe. MEDISON
factory defaults vary with probe, application, and selected mode. Defaults have been
chosen below the FDA limits for intended use.
2) Depth
An increase in 2D-mode depth will automatically decrease the 2D-mode frame rate.
This would decrease the TI. The system may also automatically choose a deeper 2D-
mode focal depth. A change of focal depth may change the MI. The MI displayed is
that of the zone with the largest peak intensity.
3) Application
Acoustic output defaults are set when you select an application. MEDISON factory
defaults vary with probe, application, and mode. Defaults have been chosen below
the FDA limits for intended use.

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 purpose; therefore, the In Situ value which is
commonly reported uses the 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 the maximum water values do not always occur at the same
operating condition; therefore, the reported maximum water and derated values may not
be related to the In Situ (derated) formula. Take for example a multi-zone array
transducer that has maximum water value intensities in its deepest zone: the same
transducer may have its largest derated intensity in one if its shallowest focal zones.
1) Systematic Uncertainties
For the pulse intensity integral, derated rarefaction pressure Pr.3, center frequency
and pulse duration, the analysis includes considerations of the effects on accuracy
of:
The document includes analysis and discussion of the sources of error / measurement
effects due to:
y Balance system calibration.
y Absorbing (or reflecting) target suspension mechanisms.
y Linearity of the balance system.
y Extrapolation to the moment of switching the ultrasonic transducer (compensation for ringing
and thermal drift).
y Target imperfections.
y Absorbing (reflecting) target geometry and finite target size.
y Target misalignment.
y Ultrasonic transducer misalignment.
y Water temperature.
y Ultrasonic attenuation and acoustic streaming.
y Coupling or shielding foil properties.
y Plane-wave assumption.
y Environmental influences.
y Excitation voltage measurement.
y Ultrasonic transducer temperature.
y Effects due to nonlinear propagation and saturation loss.
The overall findings of the analysis give a rough Acoustic Power accuracy figure of +/-
10% for the frequency range of 1 - 10 MHz.

5.1 Overview
Chapter 5 describes the internal structure and operation mechanism of MySono U5.
This chapter must be read for the product maintenance and upgrade.
MySono U5 is Software DSC-applied ultrasound system.
It not only adopted 15 inch LCD monitor and provides high resolution ultrasound Image,
but also provides the premium grade system functions. To improve the processing speed,
MEDISON Co., Ltd. developed new interface to connect a latest PC and the ultrasound
system with its proprietary technology. The enhancement of processor speed makes the
system operations faster and reduces diagnosis time.
MySono U5 can use up to 128 Element probes and adopted Digital Beamforming of TX
32 Channels. Ultrasound image is displayed on the LCD through the Front End Part and
Back End Part (including PC Part).
The resolution of the LCD monitor is 1024 X 768 pixels and various image formats are
provided. The wide view angle of the LCD panel provides convenient work environment
for diagnosis. In addition, the arm-type monitor controller enables users to control the
monitor easily.
5.3.1 Overview
MySono U5 consists of Ultrasound System Part, User Interface Part. However, it consists
of Front End Part, Back End Part, User Interface Part, and Power Part from the
electronical view point.
The following is the description of electronical structure of MySono U5.
Front End Part refers to the PSA (Probe Select Assembly), and BF (Beamformer).
The Front End Part delivers High Voltage Pulser to the probe so that ultrasound is
generated, amplifies the returned echo signal and processes Digital Beamforming. The
RF signal generated here is delivered to the Back End Part.
Back End Part refers to the BE(Back End) and PC Module. The RF signal generated in
the BF(Beamformer) is processed to diagnosis image such as BW, Color Doppler, PW
Doppler, and Power Doppler and displayed on the monitor so that users can see it. In
addition, new technologies such as Q-SCAN and DMR are applied to provide various
diagnosis.
User Interface Part refers to the LCD monitor and control panel
It recognizes probes and delivers system and application information depending on the
user environment to each board. Based on the information, TX Focusing and RX
Focusing are done. When high-voltage Pulser is delivered to probe along through the TX
Focusing, ultrasound is generated and the echo signal returned from human body is
amplified by the amplifier circuit and then is processed by Digital Beamforming. The RF
signal generated here is delivered to the PC Module to process it to provide diagnosis
image such as BW, Color Doppler, PW Doppler, CW Doppler, and Power Doppler and
display it on the monitor.
PC Module consists of Scan Converter and video output circuit so that the ultrasound
information generated by the Ultrasound System Part is displayed on the monitor. In
addition, it provides interface with the control panel.
The ultrasound information output from the Ultrasound System Part is connected to the
PC Module using the DMA mode of the PCI interface. The ultrasound image is
implemented by software DSC and VGA.
While conventional ultrasound system used Hardware DSC, MySono U5 used software
DSC and displayed ultrasound image on the LCD monitor.
DC-DC Power module supplies power to the power of Ultrasound System Part.
User Interface Part enables users to view ultrasound image on the LCD monitor and
control MySono U5 through the control panel and touch panel.
The image output from the PC Part is transferred to the LCD monitor and external device.
Image output interface includes VGA and DVI. The control panel enables users to easily
operate the system through various interfaces.
The User Interface Part consists of the following components.

1) Receive Channel
Receive Channel amplifies echo that is penetrated through the medium of human
body and the reflected, and does the role of Analog Digital Converter so that
Beamforming can be conducted. It consists of Limiter and Pre-Amp, TGC-Amp, Low-
Pass Filter and A/D Converter.
Limiter
It removes unnecessary signal from the Echo returned through the PSA (Probe Select
Assembly)’s High Voltage Switch. Up to 180 Vpp Tx Pulses and a few mV Echo
signals are mixed. Since actually necessary RX data is the echo signal of a few mV, Tx
Pulse should be removed before the signal to the Pre-Amp. Limiter removes signal of
higher than approximately 0.6V and transfers the echo signal to the Pre-Amp.
Pre-Amp
Pre-Amp amplifies echo signal of a few mV that is not processed.
TGC-Amp
Each TGC(Time Gain Compensation) Amp consists of 4 channels. Since the echo
signal that is penetrated and reflected by medium diminishes as it traverses, it
compensates the attenuation of the signal.
Low Pass Filter(Anti-aliasing)
Low-Pass Filter filters noise in Stop Band that is out of ultrasound band. In addition, it
does the role of Anti-aliasing Filter that minimizes the Aliasing Effect that may appear in
a high frequency probe such as 7.5MHz probe. The Aliasing of high frequency probe
occurs due to the limitation of the Sampling Clock in the BF ASIC.
A/D Converter
It converts the digital signal to be used in the Digital Beamforming into analog.

9.1 Overview
The probe is a device that sends and receives ultrasound for acquiring image data. It is
also called a Transducer or Scanhead.
The system limits patient contact temperature to 43 C 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. Validation of the power
protection fuse circuit is performed under normal system operation. For invasive probes,
additional protections are designed to keep patient contact surface temperature under
43 C degrees Celsius in the event of a single fault failure.
