[Page 19] 1-1 Purpose of Use 1-1 Purpose of Use In the diagnostic ultrasound system, ultrasound images are produced as follows; Ultrasound wave pulses released from the transducer are reflected from the internal body system. Reflected waves are transmitted back to the transducer, and ultrasound images are produced with the reflected image on the monitor. You can distinguish internal body systems because the acoustic impedances vary among the internal organs. Ultrasound images are used for various diagnoses of the internal body system. This F31 is intended to be used by doctors and other qualified persons for performing slice diagnoses and blood circulation diagnoses in the following parts of the human body. • Thorax • Abdomen • Perineum and pelvis • Lower limbs • Back • Upper limbs • Head • Neck Do not use it for any applications other than those stated above. Do not use this equipment for performing ultrasound diagnosis of the eyes. The acoustic power from this equipment exceeds the upper ophthalmological limits indicated in the U.S. FDA standards. Do not use it for any application that is not covered in the instruction manual of the probe. There is a risk of injuries or burns to the patient or oprator. There is a risk of electrical shock, breakdown or other accidents. MN1-5853 rev.2 1-1
