CHAPTER 1Introduction

Before servicing the SonoSite ultrasound system, please read the information in this

manual. This text applies to SonoSite ultrasound system products manufactured after

April 27, 2001. Please find service information about products manufactured before

April 27, 2001 in C1.51 Ultrasound System Service Manual (P00715) and C1.75

Ultrasound System Service Manual (P01118).

1.1 About the System

The SonoSite system has various configurations and features. All are described in

this manual but not every option may apply to your system. System features are

dependent on your system configuration, transducer and exam type.

The SonoSite system is a portable, software-controlled, ultrasound system. It has an

all-digital architecture. It is used to acquire and display high-resolution, real-time,

2D, Color Power Doppler (CPD), PowerMap™(PM) Directional Color Power

Doppler (DCPD), Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI), M-mode and Pulsed Wave (PW)

Doppler ultrasound images. The system has electrocardiography (ECG), cine

review, image zoom, labeling, biopsy, measurements and calculations, serial port

connection for image transfer, image storage and review, printing and recording

capabilities. The system setup also has a selection to support optical character

recognition (OCR) of the English character set for time, date, patient name, and

patient identification. The OCR screen characters are optimized for use with the ALI

NewPORT DICOM image capture station peripheral available from ALI. For more

information about the ALI NewPORT 2.1, refer to the ALI NewPORT 2.1 Image

Capture Station User’s Guide.

Currently, the system supports the following broadband transducers:

• C60/5-2 MHz 60-mm curved array

• C15/4-2 MHz 15-mm micro-curved array

• C11/7-4 MHz 11-mm micro-curved array

• ICT/7-4 MHz 11-mm intracavitary

• L38/10-5 MHz 38-mm linear array

2 C1.9 PLUS Ultrasound System Service Manual

System accessories include a SiteStand®mobile docking station and accessories,

SiteCharge™dual battery charger, a power adapter, a battery, ECG cable, video and

printer cables, SiteLink image manager software, SiteStand®basket, Basic Stand,

CRT Stand, ScanPack quick access carrier, and SitePack™protective carry pack.

System peripherals include medical grade (conforming to the requirements of

EN60601-1) and non-medical (commercial) grade products. System medical grade

peripherals include an external color monitor, video printers, and VCRs. System

non-medical grade peripherals include a digital video recorder, a battery charger, a

lithium-ion battery, printer, and a handheld monitor. Use of peripherals is covered in

the manufacturers’ instructions, which accompany each peripheral. System setup

instructions for the use of peripherals are covered in Chapter 3 in the SonoSite

Ultasound System User Guide.

1.2 Audience

The intended audience of this manual is properly trained field and in-house service

personnel.

1.3 Conventions Used in This Manual

These conventions are used in this user guide:

• Warnings and cautions are identified with the arrow symbol.

• Control names and references to display elements are presented in bold-face

type.

• Operating instructions are introduced with a statement in bold-face type that

ends with a colon. For example: To read this user guide:

• When the steps in the operating instructions must be performed in a specific

order, the steps are numbered.

• Bulleted lists present information in list format, but they do not imply a

sequence.

• Screen display text is shown in Arial 10 pt. For example: Successful upgrade.

• The left side of the system is to your left as you face the system. The system

handle is at the top of the system, the battery compartment is at the bottom of the

system.

• Note: A note cites information that is a general rule for a procedure, gives an

exception to a rule, or provides noncritical information of general interest.

1.4 About the System Software

Your SonoSite system contains software that controls its operation. From time to

time, SonoSite may provide new software for use with your system. This software is

provided using a software update module or a transducer. This software may be

either required or optional. A single module or transducer can be used to update one

or more systems.

When the new software is required, you must install it if you wish to use the new

software features (e.g., new transducer). If you choose not to install it, you must
