Chapter 4: System Overview

About the System

The FUJIFILM SonoSite X-Porte high-resolution ultrasound system is a portable, full featured, general
purpose, software controlled, diagnostic ultrasound system using all digital architecture. The system is used
to acquire and display high-resolution, real-time ultrasound data in 2D, M Mode, Pulsed Wave (PW)
Doppler, Continuous Wave (CW) Doppler, Color Power Doppler (CPD), and color Doppler (Color) or in a
combination of these modes.
The system has an electrocardiography (ECG) display feature and supports a 3-lead ECG cable assembly
to collect data for M Mode and Doppler measurements. The system provides measurement capabilities for
anatomical structures and fetal biometry that provide information used for clinical diagnostic purposes. The
system has a PW and CW Doppler audio output feature, cine review, image zoom, labeling, biopsy,
measurements and calculations, image storage and review, printing, and recording capabilities.
The system includes optional Digital Imaging and Communications (DICOM) capabilities as well as general
computer communication capabilities to provide the acceptance, transfer, display, storage, and digital
processing of ultrasound images and loops. Security support is also provided to facilitate HIPAA
compliance.
The system displays the current output level in terms of one of two bioeffects indices (“Mechanical Index
[MI]” and “Thermal Index [TI]”) in accordance with the AIUM/NEMA Standard for Real Time Display of
Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment.

Theory of Operation
The X-Porte ultrasound system has seven (7) major functional groups:
• Transducer
• Acquisition Subsystem
• Processing Subsystem
• Display Subsystem
• Control Subsystem
• User Interface Subsystem
• Power Subsystem
The following block diagram shows the relationship of the functional groups.

Chapter 4: System Overview 9

 Figure 4.1 Ultrasound System Functional Group

The Transducer elements convert the pulser voltage to acoustic energy during the transmit portion of the
ultrasound acquisition cycle. The elements convert the acoustic echo to voltage in the receive portion of the
acquisition. The voltage developed on the transducer elements is sensed by the acquisition subsystem. The
system transducers have 64 to 256 elements.
The Acquisition Subsystem consists of the beamformer and interface to the transducer. The beamformer
controls the timing of the transmit pulses to focus the acoustic beam. The beamformer amplifies the
low-level received echos and controls the receive focusing. The system beamformer transmits on up to 128
elements and receives on 64 elements.
The Processing Subsystem includes capabilities for interfacing with the beamformer and performing high
speed processing. The processing subsystem demodulates, filters, detects, and compresses the signal
supplied by the beamformer into display information.
The Display Subsystem converts the detected ultrasound data into picture elements (pixels). The software
user interface graphics are combined with the ultrasound information and converted to a video stream. The
external video port supports NTSC and PAL format.
The Control Subsystem consists of the central processing unit, program and video memory, permanent
image storage and retrieval memory, external communication interface ports, and connection to the user
interface keys. The control software includes the acoustic power and intensity software subsystem, power
group monitors, and a beamformer monitor. This software guarantees a level of patient safety by ensuring
the system is operating within acoustic power and intensity limits.
The User Interface Subsystem represents the software interface and form factor. The software interface
is the interaction between the user and the screen layout components. The form factor is the type of physical
buttons, location, and grouping of the buttons and the device size, shape, and weight. Dedicated controls
are for high usage activities and grouped according to the user workflow.
The Power Subsystem provides the system power and protects the hardware from destructive and/or
unsafe conditions by detecting failures in the system through hardware and software monitors. Detection of
a fault results in disabling of the pulser supply, and signaling of an error to the Control Group. The power
subsystem includes the batteries (quantity of three lithium-ion) and battery charging electronics.

Description of Operating Modes

2D Mode 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, a two-dimensional cross-section of a 3-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, trapezoid,
sector, or a full circle, depending on the particular transducer used. 2D mode can be
used in combination with any other modes.

M Mode M Mode is also known as “T-M mode” or “time-motion” mode. It is used primarily for
cardiac measurements such as valve timing and septal wall thickness when accurate
timing information is required.
Ultrasound echoes of different intensities are mapped to different gray scale values in a
scrolling 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 can be used alone but 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.

Color In color Doppler, a real-time, two-dimensional cross-section of blood flow is displayed.
Doppler The 2D cross-section may be presented as a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid,
(Color) 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 velocity, both positive and negative, of the 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 VCD, gray scale (echo) information or a
blended combination is based on the relative strength of echoes from the soft-tissue
structures and from the red blood battery.
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. The remaining signal after wall filtering
may be averaged over time (persistence) to present a steady state image of blood flow
distribution. Variance information may also be displayed to provide information when
large variance is observed in the velocity information.

Color Power In CPD, a real-time two-dimensional cross-section of blood flow is displayed. The 2D
Doppler cross-section may be presented as a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, sector, or a
(CPD) 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 CPD, gray scale (echo) information or a blended combination is based on the
relative strength of echoes from the soft-tissue structures and from the red blood
battery.
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. The power in the remaining signal after
wall filtering may be averaged over time (persistence) to present a steady state image
of blood flow distribution.

Continuous CW provides a real-time representation of blood flow and is displayed as a

Wave (CW) velocity-versus-time sweeping output. Velocity (or frequency) is presented as the
Doppler vertical axis with time along the horizontal axis. The magnitude of the detected signal is
represented as different gray scale values.
CW Doppler mode provides the clinician with the ability to obtain blood flow velocities
focused about a user specified focal region. A continuous transmit waveform of
ultrasound energy with a known frequency is transmitted and focused by the system;
on the receive side, the transducer receive echoes are continuously amplified, focused
about the focal region and converted to a base band quadrature signal. The signal is
analyzed by a quadrature phase detector that establishes two receive channels to
allow detection of flow direction. These two channels are then analyzed by a fast
complex Fourier transform (FFT) circuit to establish the spectrum of frequencies
present in the echoes. The data are displayed as spectrum frequencies with respect to
time.
CW can be used alone but is normally used in conjunction with a 2D image for spatial
reference. The 2D image has a graphical line (D-line) superimposed on the 2D image
indicating where the M-mode beam is located.

Chapter 4: System Overview 11

 Pulsed Wave PW provides a real-time representation of blood flow and is displayed as a
(PW) velocity-versus-time sweeping output. Velocity (or frequency) is presented as the
Doppler vertical axis with time along the horizontal axis. The magnitude of the detected signal is
represented as different gray scale values. The ultrasound data is derived from a single
area, the sample volume, on a stationary beam.
PW Doppler mode provides the clinician with the ability to obtain blood flow velocities
about a spatial sample volume. A burst of ultrasound with a known spectrum is
transmitted by the system; on the receive side, the transducer receive echoes are
amplified and range gated at the appropriate depth. The signal is analyzed by a
quadrature phase detector that establishes two receive channels to allow detection of
flow direction. These two channels are then analyzed by a fast complex Fourier
transform (FFT) circuit to establish the spectrum of frequencies present in the echoes.
The data are displayed as spectrum frequencies with respect to time.
PW can be used alone but is normally used in conjunction with a 2D image for spatial
reference. The 2D image has a graphical line (D-line) superimposed on the 2D image
indicating where the M-mode beam is located. The sample volume position (depth) and
size are also indicated on the D-Line.

Additional System Feature Performances

Broadband Imaging This ultrasound acquisition system uses high resolution broadband technology
in the transmit pulsers, transducer, and receivers. The receive path can capture
and process signals over a wide spectrum, from below 2.0 MHz to beyond 10
MHz. For each application, the transmit pulse is designed to produce an
appropriate bandwidth. For example, in 2D grayscale imaging, a wide band
pulse is used to support good axial resolution. For Doppler modes, a narrower
band pulse is used, which improves the spectral resolution of the detected
Doppler signal.
In addition to transmit pulse control, programmable digital signal processing is
used in the receive path to further refine the bandwidth used to produce the
final image. Digital filters are applied to the digitized received signal to limit and
shape the spectral bandwidth used to generate the displayed output.

Tissue Specific In this feature, parameters for signal and image processing are optimized to
Imaging maximize the image quality or to obtain the best compromise of resolution and
penetration for different specific clinical applications. These parameters
include: the order of received filters, the bandwidth, the dynamic range, the
compression curve, the gain setting and parameters for compounding
frequency band, etc. For example, different system parameter setups are used
for abdominal or peritoneal scanning. This feature is for ease of use for the
operator by automatically setting up system control parameters rather than
manually adjusting settings for best performance.

Biopsy Guidance The system can display a pair of biopsy guidelines that represent the
anticipated path of the biopsy needle. The image of an anatomical target,
biopsy guidelines, a scan plane marker, and a biopsy needle are displayed to
assist in guiding the biopsy needle to the target. The system also provides
needle guidance for vascular access procedures. For additional information,
see the biopsy user guides.

Measurement and The system offers a variety of measurements and calculations, specific to
Calculation exam type and transducer. A list of them, and author references, are in the
Capabilities system user guide. Measurement accuracy is also discussed.

Front End Overview

The Front End is designed to support various imaging modalities such as 2D, M-Mode, Spectral Doppler
and Color Doppler. From the Front End's perspective, all modes can be grouped into a few basic types:
Single mode, simultaneous modes and triggered modes. All these modes are built from similar, basic
transmit and receive sequences controlled within the Front End. A generic top level block diagram of a
typical Front End is shown below in Figure 4.2 on page 13

Figure 4.2 Generic Front End Block Diagram

The transmit section consists of a waveform generator, delay block, and high power high voltage driver to
excite the transducer element. Multiple elements are driven with delays determined by the time of flight in
the medium from the elements to the point in space where the beam is to be focused. The longer the time
of flight is to the focal point the smaller the delay is for a given transmit element to allow all to arrive at the

Chapter 4: System Overview 13

 focal point at the same time. The number of elements driven is determined by element sensitivity off axis
and depth of field considerations. The waveform is selected to drive the transducer at a certain center
frequency, bandwidth, and power and is optimized for the given mode.

The receive section consists of a transmit/receive switch to protect the receiver from the transmit voltage, a
variable gain receiver to amplify and condition the return echoes, an A/D to digitize the data, a delay block
to focus the return signals and a weight block to scale the return echoes for each channel. All the signals
are then summed together to generate the beam-formed receive data. The analog gain varies with depth
to compensate for signal attenuation through the medium. The delays and weights are independent for
each channel. The delay and weight for the receive channel can typically be changed dynamically to keep
the receive beam in continuous focus. The delay is simply set by the time of flight in the medium from the
point of interest to the element, which starts at skin-line and proceeds to the deepest depth of interest.
The control section drives the data to the various data path elements on a line by line basis, controls the
timing of the transmit and receive sections and controls the tagged information and timing of the data to the
rest of the system.

X-Porte Front End Board

The X-Porte ultrasound system can be divide into two board section groups: Front End and Back End.
Below is the block diagram linking the necessary functional groups of an ultrasound system as they apply
to the X-Porte system. Please refer to Figure 4.3 on page 14

Figure 4.3 X-Porte Front End Board Block Diagram

14 Chapter 4: System Overview

PW Doppler Processing
Doppler processing includes both audio processing which presents Doppler signal in the form of stereo
audio and spectral processing which generates data for display of Doppler spectrum in the form of a
scrolling spectrogram. Doppler power spectrum is estimated performing Discrete Fourier Transforms on
short, overlapped segments of wall filtered Doppler signal. Doppler audio data is generated from wall filtered
data by phase shifting the in-phase component. Refer to the PW Doppler Processing Function Block
Diagram Figure 4.4 on page 15

Figure 4.4 PW Doppler Processing Function Block Diagram

Chapter 4: System Overview 15

CW Doppler Processing
CW Doppler data will be presented to the signal processor as complex (I/Q) data from the analog front end
of the external DSP. The 20-bit data will be presented as consecutive samples at a data rate varying from
1.5 kHz to 64 kHz for the complex pair. Most of CW processing is similar to that of PW except for the QBP
function. In place of QBP will be a low pass decimating filter that operates on incoming I/Q data.

The Doppler Processing block must allow storage of 256 undetected I/Q pairs in to allow the system to
measure and correct for phase mismatch. Measuring and correcting will need to be accomplished in system
software. Refer to the CW Doppler Processing Function Block Diagram Figure 4.5 on page 16

Figure 4.5 CW Doppler Processing Function Block Diagram

16 Chapter 4: System Overview

Back End Overview
The Back End subsystem is responsible for the conversion of raw acquisition data into a raster image ready
for display. The Back End subsystem also contains the video data path that supports generation of video
comprising of the ultrasound image as well as graphics annotation. Video generation of both standard
composite interlaced video and progressive scan video is supported. Most functionality is within the ASIC
but the memory resources for acquisition memory, and display memory are found in external memory
components. The conversion from PC type video to TV type video is also performed externally.
Control is received initially from the CPU to setup each functional block and afterward the hardware is
completely data driven. This control takes the form of programming setup registers inside the blocks and
setting up scan conversion tables. Each block provides temporary storage as required to buffer data and
keep their respective processing pipeline full and operating. Also note that the block diagrams show only
the data path, but each block is responsible for generating any necessary memory addresses for their
respective input data stream.
The X-Porte Back End subsystem is shown in Figure 4.6 on page 17.

Figure 4.6 X-Porte System Back End Subsystem Block Diagram

The Back End Subsystem performs processing encompassing three main data domains, acquisition data,
raster data, and video data. Support for acquisition data includes the input buffer, flash suppression, frame
average, and external ACQ memory. Cine buffer management is performed by the acquisition controller.
Conversion from acquisition data to raster data is performed by the graphics overlay, scan conversion sys-
tem, sweeping system, and 3D system. Raster data is stored in an external DISPLAY memory. Also sup-
porting raster operations is the graphics support block that provides acceleration hardware for pixel
operations from the CPU and graphics overlay system. The progressive video path includes buffers, prior-
ity logic, and LUTs.

Figure 4.7 Control Subsystem Block Diagram

The core control subsystem contains the processor, the system bus, and the system memory resources of
RAM and solid state hard drives. These two solid state hard drive devices are responsible for the system
operating
system software, ultrasound program software, scanhead operation files, on-board training videos, and
storage for patient data (patient demographic information, images, and video clips)

18 Chapter 4: System Overview

 The main operational solid state storage drive is a mSATA form factor device totalling 16 GB of storage
capacity. This device is responsible for handling the operational system software, the ultrasound program,
and the on-board training videos.

A secondary solid state storage drive of 80 GB with an 1.8 inch form factor is used to handle the scanhead
data files, other ultrasound system files, and 66 GB of storage capacity reserved for all patient data. It is
with these new solid state devices, the X-Porte architecture is similar to our past products utilizing CF and
SD storage cards, but with much improved data storage and throughput without the use of any mechanical
hard drive devices.

Power Supply and Control

The X-Porte ultrasound system utilizes one of two types of power supply arrangements depending on the
X-Porte system version, which are Desktop or Stand. The Desktop system uses two separate external
power supply (EPS) units. The 150 watt EPS supplies +24VDC to the main Ultrasound System Electronics
(Engine) and a separate 65 watt EPS is utilized to supply +24VDC for the Clinical Display Monitor. No
batteries can be utilized with this version of system. The electrical block diagram for the 150 watt EPS is
shown below in Figure 4.8 on page 19

Figure 4.8 Desktop External Power Supply (EPS)

The Stand version X-Porte system utilizes a power supply/power control module mounted under the stand
base. This System Power Management Unit (SPMU) supplies the +24VDC power to the Engine and Clinical
Display Monitor. This SPMU is also the mounting point for the three lithium-ion batteries, charges the
batteries, and is responsible for switching the system from AC power to battery power when needed. Please
refer to Figure 4.9 on page 20

Chapter 4: System Overview 19

 Figure 4.9 Stand Power Management Unit (SPMU)

ECG Module
The ECG module allows a representation of the heart electrical activity to be displayed in real time with
ultrasound images acquired and displayed on the system video display.
The ECG module interfaces to the patient through three (3) ECG leads: Right Arm ECG lead (RA), Left Arm
ECG lead (LA), and Left Leg ECG lead (LL). The ECG received signal from the ECG electrodes are isolated,
amplified, and filtered by the ECG module before it is sent to the system for further processing and display.
The ECG module and cable are an integrated assembly. The module receives power from the system.
Patient isolation is provided by the ECG module, allowing the connection and signals to the system to be
system-ground referenced. The isolation between the patient and the system meets the requirements of IEC
601-1 for Type CF equipment.
The ECG function accepts input from an external serial A/D and performs gain, filter, and DC Offset
functions. The resultant data is output at either the 200Hz sample rate or decimates the data by 2 or 4 and
outputs the data into acquisition memory. The data is assumed to be signed. An interrupt is provided that
will interrupt the processor after a set delay from the detected level and slope. A simple block diagram is
shown below in Figure 4.10 on page 21

20 Chapter 4: System Overview

DICOM
The system features Digital Imaging and Communications (DICOM) capability to provide the acceptance,
transfer, display, storage, and digital processing of single ultrasound images as well as loops of ultrasound
images.

System Repair
The system is repairable through subassembly replacement or through replacement of parts as
recommended by FUJIFILM SonoSite. Component level repair of Printed Circuit Board Assemblies is
performed only at the FUJIFILM SonoSite repair facility. Replacement of board level components by
unauthorized service facilities voids the FUJIFILM SonoSite warranty.

Test Equipment
Test equipment is not required for this troubleshooting section.

Failure (Assert) Codes

The X-Porte system is capable in displaying an “assert screen-call for help” instructing the user to contact
SonoSite Technical Support for hardware and software issues related to failures. PCB failures typically
result in “assert codes” that are output to both the clinical display monitor and the touch panel display. If an
assert screen appears, note the assert code information and contact FUJIFILM SonoSite Technical Support
to clarify the fault or failure. Refer to Figure 5.2 for how this assert screen will be displayed and the
information Technical Support will be asking from this screen.

Record the following information

Verifying a System Assert Code

24 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting
 System asserts are caused by hardware and/or software faults. Hardware asserts typically require a PCB
or hardware replacement. Software asserts can be reset and the system may recover. A simple method to
identify the cause of the assert is identified here:

Assert Cause 1 Record the assert code.

2 Press and release the Power button to power the system down.
3 Press the Power button again to power on the system.
• If the system powers on normally, it has recovered from the fault (software assert)
and you may use the system.
• If the assert condition remains, corrective action must be taken; usually
replacement of a PCB or hardware is required. Contact FUJIFILM SonoSite
Technical Support for assistance and to obtain repair parts.
If the Power button is not functional, all sources of power must be removed to allow
the system to power down. I.e., disconnect AC power and switch the three battery
switches to the “•O” (OFF) position. Refer to Figure 3.1 on page 6

SPMU
The SPMU module has three LEDs that will help to isolate AC power versus X-Porte hardware failures. On
the top-rear portion of the X-Porte stand base is a “Green” LED that is near the equipotential stud. A solid
“Green” LED signifies that the X-Porte system is connected to a live AC source. If this LED is flashing at a
1Hz repetitive rate, then the system is charging the system batteries. When these batteries are fully
charged, this LED will switch to a solid “Green” LED illumination. Refer to Figure 5.3

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting 27
 A solid Green LED indicates the system is connected to a live AC
source. When batteries are installed, this LED will flash
at a 1 Hz rate when the batteries are charging and go to a solid
illumination state upon battery charge completion.

Figure 5.3 Upper Stand Base Power LED

Two more LEDs are visible under the stand and can shine onto a piece of white paper placed under the
stand base. The solid illuminated “Blue” LED indicates that the SPMU is producing the system’s +24 volts
DC necessary to power the system electronics and Clinical Display monitor. The solid illumination faint
“Green” LED is indicating that the system is connected to a live AC source. This LED is indicating the same
AC as the topside “Green” LED except, this LED does not indicate the battery charge operation and will
always be constantly lighted when connected to a live AC source. If the bottom “Green” LED is not visible
due to the ambient light conditions, then check for the “Green” topside LED and the bottom “Blue” LED.
These indicate that the SPMU is connected to a live AC source and that the SPMU is outputting +24 volts
DC. Refer to Figure 5.4

SPMU is outputting +24 volts DC. System is connected to a live

AC source. This LED does not
monitor the SPMU battery

If only the Blue LED is lighted,

then the system is working from
the batteries.

Refer to Table 5.6 below to verify the following normal conditions and configurations that the X-Porte system
will operate properly. Any LED conditions other than those outlined in this table that exist could indicate a
SPMU problem requiring replacement.

Note: If all three battery switches have been in the “•O” (OFF) position and all three are set to “ʘ” (ON),
AC power has to be applied to the SPMU to allow the system SPMU to develop the +24VDC from battery
operation. The lower Blue LED will remain off indicating no +24VDC until performing this procedure.

X-Porte Power-0 & Power-1 Procedural Steps

The Power-0 and Power-1 functionality has been implemented in X-Porte differently than it was in Turbo
due to the lack of buttons.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting 29
 The functionality is simple, but the format must be exact. Simply places a text file called reset.txt on a USB
stick (P16967) then insert it into a USB slot of the system, remove all other USB sticks, and now power “ON”
the system. The text file contains a phrase to tell the system which action to perform. Only one action can
be performed at a time. The file will be deleted by the system after it is read to prevent inadvertent usage.
Therefore, it is a good idea to save the reset.txt file to some other name before inserting into the system
and powering up. The actual implementation of the action is performed during system initialization and is
complete when the system disk becomes ready.
The Power-1 Reset function is specified by placing the phrase "restore-factory-settings" in the reset.txt
file. The command causes the system to:
• "Remove Worklist files
• "Rebuild the patient database
• "Start a new patient
• "Reset the DICOM location
• "Reset the DICOM, user and system logs
• "Reset user preferences
• "Reset the system clock to January 1, 2003
• "Reset the Control Panel brightness and backlight
• "Records the action in the system log
The Power-0 Reset function is specified by placing the phrase "reformat-data-drive" in the reset.txt file.
This command causes the system to:
• "Format the patient data drive and deletes all patient data
• "Start a new patient
• "Add a system log message recording the action

Chapter 6: Replacement Procedures

FUJIFILM SonoSite has determined several service activities that will be performed only by FUJIFILM
SonoSite service personnel and/or their representative qualified to perform the service duties. These are
the removal/replacement of the SPMU and the batteries that are in the X-Porte Stand system. Please
contact FUJIFILM SonoSite or your appropriate FUJIFILM SonoSite representative when service is
required. Refer to Table 6.1 on page 34 for a more complete list of subassemblies and the personnel that
should attempt service on the X-Porte systems.
Prior to performing any service to the X-Porte system, remove the A.C. power cord from the wall outlet.
This applies to both the X-Porte Stand and X-Porte Desktop system versions.

WARNING:
The stand version is equipped with three lithium-ion batteries and require all three battery switches to be
switched to their “•O” (OFF) position to cease the +24VDC developed by the SPMU. Access to these
switches are by lifting the black plastic panel outward from the bottom of the X-Porte stand SPMU housing
area near the left rear caster leg. Refer to Figure 3.1 on page 6 of Chapter 3 under “Safety”.

WARNING:
The SPMU removal/replacement as well as the replacement of the batteries in the X-Porte Stand system
requires the service personnel to be able to reposition an upright stand system onto its front caster legs
(about 65 lb of the system weight) and lay the complete system horizontally on the floor. It is advisable to
have a second person to help in repositioning the system if the 65 lb weight requirement is too great for
one person. This service should only be performed by trained and qualified FUJIFILM SonoSite service
personnel.

Caution:
Follow all steps for stand height, Clinical Monitor, and touch Control Panel positioning in the forthcoming
service procedures to ensure no damage to the system and/or possible injury to the servicing personnel.

Caution:
Always use correct ESD procedures. ESD damage is cumulative and may not be noticeable at first. Initial
ESD symptoms may be slightly degraded performance or image quality.

Caution:
All fasteners should be torque to 5.5-inch pounds except where noted. Two ranges of torque screwdrivers
will be required as torque requirements range from 3-inch pounds to 24-inch pounds. Generally the torque
screwdrivers ranges are 1.0-10.0 inch pounds (0.23-1.1 Newton meter) and 10.0-25.0 inch pounds
(1.1-2.8 Newton meter)

Note: If all three battery switches have been in the “•O” (OFF) position and all three are set to “ʘ” (ON),
AC power has to be applied to the SPMU to allow the system SPMU to develop the +24VDC from battery
operation. The lower Blue LED will remain off indicating no +24VDC until performing this procedure.

54 Chapter 7: Maintenance
Chapter 8: Performance Testing

Overview
WARNING: Critical Test Function — A failure of the system functions tested in this section could affect
safety or effectiveness of the system adversely. While performing the steps in this section,
verify that the images on the system display and on the external monitor are acceptable.

To obtain 2D images, FUJIFILM SonoSite recommends using the Gammex 403GS Soft Tissue Phantom or
the Gammex 413A Multipurpose Phantom. A .7db/cm phantom is recommend but not required.
Some features and capabilities are optional and therefore may be unavailable to test.

Recommend Test Equipment

• FUJIFILM SonoSite ultrasound system under test
• C60xp/5-2 MHz transducer
• P21xp/5-1 MHz transducer
• Gammex 403 GS Multipurpose Phantom, 413A Soft Tissue Phantom, or equivalent.
• Acoustic gel

Setting Up Performance Tests

Set up 1 Attach the C60xp/5-2 MHz transducer to the system.

Performance 2 Select Gen for optimization and OB for exam type.
Tests 3 Couple the transducer to the phantom, adjusting gain settings and transducer for a
proper phantom image (e.g., pins are high-level echoes positioned in straight lines;
cysts are sonolucent, X-Portes are sharp, and graphite particles of the phantom are
mid-grays).

Chapter 8: Performance Testing 55

Basic Operational Tests

Basic System 1 Verify that the correct transducer name appears in the upper right corner of the system
Operation display.
Tests 2 Verify proper date and time.
3 Verify that the scan plane orientation mark in the image located near the skinline
corresponds to element #1 on the transducer. To test, put your finger on the probe and
run it across the transducer face. Your finger touching the transducer face should
appear at the orientation mark on the display image format.
4 Verify that all of the keyboard keys are functional. Verify that all controls operate
smoothly over their full range and that the system responds properly.
5 Verify that as the Gain controls are increased and decreased, there is a corresponding
increase and decrease in echo intensity.
6 Capture a Cineloop buffer. Exercise the Cineloop controls and verify proper operation.
7 Verify the airflow from the fan vents on the rear of the Engine flow outward.

2D Performance Tests

2D Performance / Image Quality

Test 2D 1 Use a C60xp/5-2 MHz transducer in 2D mode.

Performance 2 Adjust the position of the C60xp/5-2 MHz transducer on the phantom.
and Image 3 With the array pointing down and the orientation mark to the operator’s left, element
Quality #1 corresponds with the left side of the array.
4 Use the 2D system controls to obtain a clear image that shows both the horizontal and
vertical rows of pins.
5 Verify that the ultrasound image appears uniform in both the axial and lateral direction,
with no dropouts or intensity variations.
6 Verify that the cystic structure at the focal zone is clearly differentiated from the
surrounding tissue and is echo-free, while solid tissue with numerous echo sources,
appears solid.
7 Press the Freeze key and then save the image. Slide the Freeze Unlock key to return
to live imaging.

Chapter 8: Performance Testing 57

Penetration
The penetration measurement is an integral part of the quality assurance program. Penetration is defined
as the deepest depth at which an ultrasound system can provide adequate image quality of small
anatomical structures.
Penetration measurements should be performed and the results retained for comparison to future
measurements. Penetration measurements should remain fairly consistent over time assuming use of the
same system settings and scanhead. Degradation of the penetration measurement in excess of 1cm may
indicate a transducer or system electronics issue.
Loss of measured penetration may also be caused by degradation (dessication) of the ultrasound phantom.
Ultrasound phantoms used for penetration measurements must also be part of a quality assurance program
to maintain their integrity. Follow all of the phantom manufacturer recommendations for use, storage, and
maintenance of the phantom.

Test 1 Use the same scanhead and system settings as previous measurements if possible.
Penetration 2 Adjust the system controls to obtain a clear image that shows the limits of echo
penetration.
3 Press the Freeze key and then save the image.
4 Measure from the center of the skinline to the deepest vertical position—where the
scatter echoes start to break up and tissue definition is lost.
5 Record and retain the results for future reference. Scanhead type and system settings
(exam type, depth, resolution mode, etc.) should also be recorded to ensure proper
comparison with future tests.
6 Slide the Freeze Unlock to return to live imaging.
