[Page 27] 2.3 Electrical Safety This equipment has been verified as a Class I device with Type BF applied parts. 2.3.1 P revention of Electric Shock In a hospital, dangerous currents are due to the potential differences between connected equipment and touchable conducting parts found in medical rooms. The solution to the problem is consistent equip p otential bonding. Medical equipment is connected with connecting leads made up of angled sockets to the equi p potential bonding network in medical rooms. [ Figure 2 - 4] Equip p otential bonding Additional equipment connected to medical electrical equipment must comply with the respective IEC or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data processing equipment). Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the requirements for medical electrical systems (see IEC 60601 - 1 - 1 or clause 16 of the Electric shock may exist result if this system, including and all of its externally mounted recording and monitoring devices, is not properly grounded. Do not remove the covers on the system; hazardous voltages are present inside. Cabinet panels must be in place while the system is in use. All internal adjustments and replacements must be made by a qualified MEDISON Customer Service Department . Check the face, housing, and cable before use. Do not use, if the face is cracked, chipped , or torn, the housing is damaged, or if the cable is abraded . Always disconnect the system from the wall outlet prior to cleaning the system . All patient contact devices, such as probes and ECG leads, must be removed from the patient prior to application of a high voltage defibrillation pulse . The use of flammable anesthetic gas or oxidizing gases (N 2 0) should be avoided . The system has been designed for 100-120VAC and 200-240VAC; you should select the input Outlet voltage of monitor, printer and VCR. Prior to connecting an OEM power cord, verify that the voltage indicated on the power cord matches the voltage rating of the OEM device . An isolation transformer protects the system from power surges. The isolation transformer continues to operate when the system is in standby . Do not immerse the cable in liquids. Cables are not waterproof . The operator does not contact the parts (SIP/SOP) and the patient simultaneously . Chapter 2. Safety 2-5
[Page 28] 2.3.2 ECG - Related Information This device is not intended to provide a primary ECG monitoring function, and therefore does not have means of indic ating an inoperative electrocardiograph. Do not use ECG electrodes of HF surgical equipment. Any malfunctions in the HF surgical equipment may result in burns to the patient Do not use ECG electrodes during cardiac pacemaker procedures or other electrical stimulators. Do not use ECG leads and electrodes in an operating room. 2.3. 3 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 conducti ve objects such as metal doorknobs, file cabinets, computer equipment, and even other individuals. The level of electrical energy discharged from a system user or patie nt to an ultrasound system can be significant enough to cause damage to the system or probes. 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 . It is highly recommended that the user be given training on ESD-related warning symbols and preventive procedures . 2.3. 4 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, SAMSUNGMEDISON 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. Communication devices such as cellular phones and pagers can cause these emissions. The existence of radios, TVs, or microwave transmission equipment nearby can also cause interference. In cases where EMI is causing disturbances, it may be necessary to relocate this system . Chapter 2. Safety 2-6

RF energy from RF transmitting equipment such as portable phones, hand-held radios, wireless devices, commercial radio and TV, and so on. Conducted interference on power lines or connected cables caused by other equipment, such as switching power supplies, electrical controls, and natural phenomena such as lightning. A medical device can either generate or receive electromagnetic interference. The EMC standards describe tests for both emitted and received interference. SamSungMedison Ultrasound System does not generate interference in excess of the referenced standards. An Ultrasound System is designed to receive signals at radio frequency and is therefore susceptible to interference generated by RF energy sources. Examples of other source of interference are medical device, information technology products, and radio and television transmission towers. Tracing the source of radiated interference can be a difficult task. Customers should consider the following in an attempt to locate the source: Is the interference intermittent or constant? Does the interference show up only with one transducers op erating at the same frequency or with several transducer? Do two different transducer operating at the same frequency have the same problem? Is the interference present if the system is moved to a different location in the facility? 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 SAMSUNG MEDISON Technical Support Group . Chapter 2. Safety 2-11

[Page 36] 2. 5 Biological Safety Verify the alignment of the Probe before use. See the “ Chapter 9. Probes ” section of this manual . 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. 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 . 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 . The system limits the maximum contact temperature to 43 degree Celsius, and the ultrasonic waves output observes American FDA regulations . 2.5.1 ALARA Principle Guidance for the use of diagnostic ultrasound is defined by the “ as low as reasonably achievable ” (ALARA) principle. The decision as to what is reasonable has been left to t he judgment and insight of qualified personnel. No set of rules can be formulated that would be sufficiently complete to dictate the correct response for every circumstance. By keeping ultrasound exposure as low as possible, while obtaining diagnostic imag es, users can minimize ultrasonic bio effects. Since the threshold for diagnostic ultrasound bio effects is undetermined, it is the sonographer ’ s responsibility to control the total energy transmitted into the patient. The sonographer must reconcile exposu re time with diagnostic image quality. To ensure diagnostic image quality and limit exposure time, the ultrasound system provides controls that can be manipulated during the exam to optimize the results of the exam. The ability of the user to abide by the ALARA principle is important. Advances in diagnostic ultrasound not only in the technology but also in the applications of the technology, have resulted in the need for more and better information to guide the user. The output indices are designed to provide that important information There are a number of variables, which affect the way in which the output display indices can be used to implement the ALARA principle. These variables include mass, body size, location of the bone relative to the focal point, attenuation in the body, and ultrasound exposure time. Exposure time is an especially useful variable, because the user controls it. The ability to limit the index values over time support the ALARA principle Chapter 2. Safety 2-14

There are different ranges of allowable intensity or output based on your selection. Selecting the correct range of acoustic intensity for the application is one of the first things required during any exam. For example, peripheral vascular intensity levels are not recommended for fetal exams. Some systems automatically select the proper range for a particular procedure, while others require manual selection. Ultimately, the user bears the responsibility for proper clinical use. The SAMSUNG MEDISON system provides both automatic and user-definable settings. Output has direct impact on acoustic intensity. Once the application has been established, the output control can be used to increase or decrease the intensity output. The output control allows you to select intensity levels less than the defined maximum. Prudent use dictates that you select the lowest output intensity consistent with good image quality . 2. 5 . 1 . 3 Indire ct Controls The indirect controls are those that have an indirect effect on acoustic intensity. These controls affect imaging mode, pulse repetition frequency, focus depth, pulse length, and probe selection. The choice of imaging mode determines the nature of the ultrasound beam. 2D- mode is a scanning mode, Doppler is a stationary or unscanned mode. A Chapter 2. Safety 2-15
[Page 38] stationary ultrasound beam concentrates energy on a single location. A moving or scanned ultrasound beam disperses the energy over a wide area and the beam is only concentrated on a given area for a fraction of the time necessary in unscanned mode. Pulse repetition frequency or rate refers to the number of ultrasound bursts of energy over a specific period of time. The higher the pulse repetition frequency, the more pulses of energy in a given period of time. Several controls affect pulse repetition frequency: focal depth, display depth, sample volume depth, color sensitivity, number of focal zones, and sector width controls. Focus of the ultrasound beam affects the image resolution. To maintain or increase resolution at a different focus requires a variation in output over the focal zone. This variation of output is a function of system optimization. Different exams require different focal depths. Setting the focus to the proper depth improves the resolution of the structure of interest. Pulse length is the time during which the ultrasonic burst is turned on. The longer the pulse, the greater the time-average intensity value. The greater the time-average intensity, the greater the likelihood of temperature increase and cavitations. Pulse length or burst length or pulse duration is the output pulse duration in pulsed Doppler. Increasing the Doppler sample volume increases the pulse length. Probe selection affects intensity indirectly. Tissue attenuation changes with frequency. The higher the probe operating frequency, the greater the attenuation of the ultrasonic energy. Higher probe operating frequencies require higher output intensity to scan at a deeper depth. To scan deeper at the same output intensity, a lower probe frequency is required. Using more gain and output beyond a point, without corresponding increases in image quality, can mean that a lower frequency probe is needed . 2. 5 . 1 . 4 Receiver Controls Receiver controls are used by the operator to improve image quality. These controls have no effect on output. Receiver controls only affect how the ultrasound echo is received. These controls include gain, TGC, dynamic range, and image processing. The important thing to remember, relative to output, is that receiver controls should be optimized before increasing output. For example; before increasing output, optimize gain to improve image quality. 2. 5 . 1 . 5 Additional Considerations Ensure that scanning time is kept to a minimum, and ensure that only medically required scanning is performed. Never compromise quality by rushing through an exam. A poor exam will require a follow-up, which ultimately increases the time. Diagnostic ultrasound is an important tool in medicine, and, like any tool, should be used efficiently and effectively . 2. 5 . 1 . 6 Output Display Features The system output display comprises two basic indices: a mechanical index and a thermal index. Chapter 2. Safety 2-16
[Page 39] The thermal index consists of the following indices: soft tissue (TIs) and bone (TIb). One of these three thermal indices will be displayed at all times. Which one depends upon the system preset or user choice, depending upon the application at hand. The mechanical index is continuously displayed over the range of 0.0 to 1.9, in increments of 0.1. The thermal index consists of the three indices, and only one of these is displayed at any one time. Each probe application has a default selection that is appropriate for that combination. The TIb or TIs is continuously displayed over the range of 0.0 to maximum output, based on the probe and application, in increments of 0.1. The application-specific nature of the default setting is also an important factor of index behavior. A default setting is a system control state which is preset by the manufacturer or the operator. The system has default index settings for the probe application. The default settings are invoked automatically by the ultrasound system when power is turned on, new patient data is entered into the system database, or a change in application takes place. The decision as to which of the three thermal indices to display should be based on the following criteria: Appropriate index for the application: TIs is used for imaging soft tissue; and TIb for a focus at or near bone. Some factors might create artificially high or low thermal index readings e.g. presence of fluid or bone, or the flow of blood. A highly attenuating tissue path, for example, will cause the potential for local zone heating to be less than the thermal index displays. Scanned modes versus unscanned modes of operation affect the thermal index. For scanned modes, heating tends to be near the surface; for unscanned modes, the potential for heating tends to be deeper in the focal zone. Always limit ultrasound exposure time. Do not rush the exam. Ensure that the indices are kept to a minimum and that exposure time is limited without compromising diagnostic sensitivity . 1) Mechanical Index (MI) Display Mechanical bio effects are threshold phenomena that occur when a certain level of output is exceeded. The threshold level varies, however, with the type of tissue. The potential for mechanical bio effects varies with peak pressure and ultrasound frequency. The MI accounts for these two factors. The higher the MI value, the greater the likelihood of mechanical bio effects occurring but there is no specific MI value that means that a mechanical effect will actually occur. The MI should be used as a guide for implementing the ALARA principle . Chapter 2. Safety 2-17
[Page 40] 2) Thermal Index (TI) Display The TI informs the user about the potential for temperature increase occuring at the body surface, within body tissue, or at the point of focus of the ultrasound beam on bone. The TI is an estimate of the temperature increase in specific body tissues. The actual amount of any temperature rise is influenced by factors such as tissue type, vascularity, and mode of operation etc. The TI should be used as a guide for implementing the ALARA principle. The bone thermal index (TIb) informs the user about potential heating at or near the focus after the ultrasound beam has passed through soft tissue or fluid, for example, at or near second or third trimester fetal bone. The cranial bone thermal index (TIc) informs the user about the potential heating of bone at or near the surface, for example, cranial bone. The soft tissue thermal index (TIs) informs the user about the potential for heating within soft homogeneous tissue. You can select either TIs or TIb using the TIs/TIb selection on the Miscellaneous system setups. TIc is displayed when you select a trans-cranial application. 3) Mechanical and Thermal indices Display Precision and Accuracy The Mechanical and Thermal Indices on the system are precise to 0.1 units. The MI and TI display accuracy estimates for the system are given in the Acoustic Output Tables manual. These accuracy estimates are based on the variability range of probes and systems, inherent acoustic output modeling errors and measurement variability, as described below. The displayed values should be interpreted as relative information to help the system operator achieve the ALARA principle through prudent use of the system. The values should not be interpreted as actual physical values investigated tissue or organs. The initial data that is used to support the output display is derived from laboratory measurements based on the AIUM measurement standard. The measurements are then put into algorithms for calculating the displayed output values. Many of the assumptions used in the process of measurement and calculation are conservative in nature. Over-estimation of actual in situ exposure, for the vast majority of tissue paths, is built into the measurement and calculation process. For example: The measured water tank values are de-rated using a conservative, industry standard, attenuation coefficient of 0.3dB/cm-MHz. Conservative values for tissue characteristics were selected for use in the TI models. Conservative values for tissue or bone absorption rates, blood perfusion rates, blood heat capacity, and tissue thermal conductivity were selected. Steady state temperature rise is assumed in the industry standard TI models, and the assumption is made that the ultrasound probe is held steady in one position long enough for steady state to be reached. A number of factors are considered when estimating the accuracy of display values: hardware variations, algorithm accuracy estimation and measurement variability. Variability among probes and systems is a significant factor. Probe Chapter 2. Safety 2-18
[Page 41] variability results from piezoelectric crystal efficiencies, process-related impedance differences, and sensitive lens focusing parameter variations. Differences in the system pulse voltage control and efficiencies are also a contributor to variability. There are inherent uncertainties in the algorithms used for estimating acoustic output values over the range of possible system operating conditions and pulse voltages. Inaccuracies in laboratory measurements are related to differences in hydrophone calibration and performance, positioning, alignment and digitization tolerances, and variability among test operators. The conservative assumptions of the output estimation algorithms of linear propagation, at all depths, through a 0.3dB/cm-MHz attenuated medium are not taken into account in calculation of the accuracy estimate displayed. Neither linear propagation, nor uniform attenuation at the 0.3dB/ cm-MHz rate, occur in water tank measurements or in most tissue paths in the body. In the body, different tissues and organs have dissimilar attenuation characteristics. In water, there is almost no attenuation. In the body, and particularly in water tank measurements, non-linear propagation and saturation losses occur as pulse voltages increase. The display accuracy estimates take into account the variability ranges of probes and systems, inherent acoustic output modeling errors, and measurement variability. Display accuracy estimates are not based on errors in, or caused by measuring according to, the AIUM measurement standards. They are also independent of the effects of non-linear loss on the measured values. 2.5.1.7 Control Affecting the indices As various system controls are adjusted, the TI and MI values may change. This will be most apparent as the POWER control is adjusted; however, other system controls will affect the onscreen output values. 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 . 2.5.1.8 2D mode Controls 1) 2D mode size Narrowing the sector angle may increase the frame rate. This action will increase the TI. Pulse voltage may be automatically adjusted down with software controls to keep the TI below the system maximums. A decrease in pulse voltage will decrease MI . Chapter 2. Safety 2-19
[Page 42] 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 when the focal depth is near the natural focus of the transducer . 2.5.1.9 Color and Power Controls 1) Color Sensitivity Increasing the color sensitivity may increase the TI. More time is spent scanning for color images. Color pulses are the dominant pulse type in this mode . 2) Color Sector Width Narrower color sector width will increase color frame rate and the TI will increase. The system may automatically decrease pulse voltage to stay below the system maximum. A decrease in pulse voltage will decrease the MI. If pulsed Doppler is also enabled then pulsed Doppler will remain the dominant mode and the TI change will be small . 3) Color Sector Depth Deeper color sector depth may automatically decrease color frame rate or select a new color focal zone or color pulse length. The TI will change due to the combination of these effects. Generally, the TI will decrease with increased color sector depth. MI will correspond to the peak intensity of the dominant pulse type, which is a color pulse. However, if pulsed Doppler is also enabled then pulsed Doppler will remain the dominant mode and the TI change will be small. 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 Chapter 2. Safety 2-20
[Page 43] 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 . 2. 5 . 1 . 10 M mode and Doppler Controls 1) Speed M-mode and Doppler sweep speed adjustments will not affect the MI. When M- mode sweep speed changes, TI changes 2) Simultaneous and Update Methods Use of combination modes affects both the TI and MI through the combination of pulse types. During simultaneous mode, the TI is additive. During auto- update and duplex, the TI will display the dominant pulse type. The displayed MI will be from the mode with the largest peak pressure . 3) Sample Volume Depth When Doppler sample volume depth is increased the Doppler PRF may automatically decrease. A decrease in PRF will decrease the TI. The system may also automatically decrease the pulse voltage to remain below the system maximum. A decrease in pulse voltage will decrease MI . 2. 5 . 1 . 11 Doppler, CW, M - m ode, and Color Imaging Controls When a new imaging mode is selected, both the TI and the MI will change to default settings. Each mode has a corresponding pulse repetition frequency and maximum intensity point. In combined or simultaneous modes, the TI is the sum of the contribution from the modes enabled and MI is the MI for the focal zone and mode with the largest derated intensity. If a mode is turned off and then reselected, the system will return to the previously selected settings . 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. SAMSUNG 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 . Chapter 2. Safety 2-21
[Page 44] 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 . 2. 5 . 1 . 12 Related Guidance Documents For more information about ultrasonic bio effects and related topics refer to the following; AIUM Report, January 28, 1993, “Bio effects and Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound” Bio effects Considerations for the Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound, J Ultrasound M ed., Sept. 1998: Vol. 7, No. 9 Supplement Acoustic Output Measurement Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment.

In October 1987, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine(AIUM) Bio effects Committee ( Bio effects Considerations for the Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound, J Ultrasound Med., Se pt. 1988: Vol.7, No.9 Supplement) sometimes referred to as the Stowe Report, which reviewed available data on possible effects of ultrasound exposure. Another report “ Bio effects and Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound, ” dated January 28, 1993 provides more up to date information. The acoustic output for this system has been measured and calculated in accordance with the December 1985 “ 510(K) Guide for Measuring and Reporting Acoustic Output of Diagnostic Ultrasound Medical Devices, ” except that the hydrophone m eets the requirements of “ Acoustic Output Measurement Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment ” (NEMA UD 2 - 1992) Chapter 2.

[Page 45] 2. 5 . 1 . 14 In Situ, Derated, and Water Value Intensities All intensity parameters are measured in water. Since water does not absorb acoustic energy, these water measurements represent a worst case value. Biological tissue does absorb acoustic energy. The true value of the intensity at any point depends on the amount and type of tissue and the frequency of the ultrasound that passes through the tissue. The intensity value in the tissue, In Situ, has been estimated using the following formula: ( 0 . 23 alf ) In Situ = Water [ e ] where: In Situ = In Situ Intensity Value Water = Water Value Intensity e = 2.7183 a = Attenuation Factor Tissue a(dB/cm - MHz) Bra in .53 Heart .66 Kidney .79 Liver .43 Muscle .55 l = skin line to measurement depth (cm) 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 [ ] 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. 2. 5 . 1 . 15 Acoustic Output and Measurement The terms and symbols used in the acoustic output tables are defined in the following paragraphs .

[Page 47] 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 : Hydrophone calibration drift or errors. Hydrophone / Amp frequency response. Spatial averaging. Alignment errors. Voltage measurement accuracy, including. Oscilloscope vertical accuracy. Oscilloscope offset accuracy. Oscilloscope clock accuracy. Oscilloscope Digitization rates. Noise. The systematic uncertainties Acoustic power measurements using a Radiation Force are measured through the use of calibrated NIST acoustic power sources. We also refer to a September 1993 analysis done by a working group of the IEC technical committee 87 and prepared by K. Beissner, as a first supplement to IEC publication 1161. The document includes analysis and discussion of the sources of error / measurement effects due to: Balance system calibration. Absorbing (or reflecting) target suspension mechanisms. Linearity of the balance system. Extrapolation to the moment of switching the ultrasonic transducer (compensation for ringing and thermal drift). Target imperfections. Absorbing (reflecting ) target geometry and finite target size. Target misalignment. Ult rasonic transducer misalignment. Water temperature. Ultrasonic attenuation and acoustic streaming. Coupling or shielding foil properties. Plane - wave assumption. Environmental influences. Excitation voltage measurement. Ultrasonic transducer temperature. Ef fects 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.

However, i t 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 SONOACER7 . Front End Part refers to the CW (Continuous Wave) Board, PSA (Probe Select Assembly), and BF (Beamformer) Board of the Ultrasound System Part. 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 gen erated here is delivered to the Back End Part. Back End Part refers to the BE(Back End) Board and PC of the Ultrasound System Part. The RF signal generated in the BF(Beamformer) Board is processed to diagnosis image such as BW, Color Doppler, PW Doppler, C W Doppler, and Power Doppler and displayed on the monitor so that users can see it. User Interface Part refers to th e LCD monitor and control panel . 5.3.2 Ultrasound System Part The major function implements the ultrasound data before the prior step of the Scan Converter. It plays the roles of the Front End Part and Back End Part (including some). 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. Th e RF signal generated here is delivered to the PC Part 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.

[Page 123] 5.4 PSA 5.4.1 Major Function PSA (Probe Select Assembly) connects the system and probe. It has 3 Mini DLP Probe Connector and 1 Static CW Static P robe Connector. The pins of Probe Connector are defined for Probe ID and HV - MUX control functions and consist of Relay circuit to select one of 3 Array Probes. In addition, High Voltage Switching is applied so that the BF (Beamformer Board)’s 64 Channel Si gnal and Probe’s 12 8 Element are switched. 5.4.2 Block Diagram [Figure 5 - 2] PSA Diagram Chapter 5.

Si nce the BF(Beamformer Board)’s Pulser and Receiver circuit consists of 64 Channels only, additional Element Selection is necessary. Element Selection uses High Voltage Switches and switches based on the Control Signal output from the BF(Beamformer Board)’s Control Logic(CPLD). Control Signal is connected through the Mother Board Connector. High Voltage Switch consists of the Shift Register and High Voltage FET. 5.4.4.2 Probe Switching It consists of circuit to select one of 4 probes. It can select a probe selected by the user by using Latched type relay. It drives the Relay with the Probe Select signal transmitted from the CW(Continuous Wave Board)’s Control Logic(CPLD). The Probe Select signal is connected through Mother Board Connector. 5.4.4.3 CW Prob e Switching Since Steered CW and Static CW are not done by BF(Beamformer Board) and CW(Continuous Wave Board) constructs Pulser and Receiver circuit, do Selecting by constructing an additional circuit when Steered CW and Static CW are used.

[Page 125] 5.5 Beam former Part 5.5.1 Major Function Beamformer Board (hereafter, BF Board) delivers High Voltage Pulser to a probe, generates ultrasound, amplifies the returned echo signal and does Digital Beamforming. Active aperture is in charge of 64 Channel and supports up to 12 8 Element Probe. It consists of TX Pulser circuit, Receiving circuit and 8 Beamformer ASIC(MCB 1 24) to construct the Active aperture 64 Channels and does the Dynamic Apodization, Multi Beam Receiving, and TGC fu nctions to enhance ultrasound image. 5.5.2 Block Diagram [Figure 5 - 3] Beamformer Board Diagram Chapter 5.

TX Pulser generates Bipolar Pulser using the Exciting pulse data and the High Voltage from the Power Module. Bipolar Pulser is sent to the Probe element by using the PSA (Probe S elect Assembly) to generate ultrasound. TX Pulser is a Hybrid IC. It developed by SAMSUNG MEDISON Co., Ltd. is used as TX Pulser. 8 Blocks are applied in total. Since Active aperture 64 Channels provide up to 12 8 Elements, additional Element Selection is ne cessary. For this purpose, High Voltage Switch is used. High Voltage Switch is constructed in PSA (Probe Select Assembly). 5.5.4.2 Receive Channel Receive Channel amplifies echo that is penetrated through the medium of human body and the reflected, and d oes 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. 1) Limiter It removes unnecessary signal from the Echo returned through the PSA (Probe Select Ass embly)’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 a pproximately 0.6V and transfers the echo signal to the Pre - Amp. Chapter 5. Product structure 5-9
[Page 127] 2) Pre - Amp Pre - Amp amplifies echo signal of a few mV that is not processed. 3) TGC - Amp Each TGC(Time Gain Compensation) Amp consists of 4 channels. Since the echo signal that is penetrated an d reflected by medium diminishes as it traverses, it compensates the attenuation of the signal. 4) 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 Fil ter 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. 5) A/D Converter It converts the digital signal to be used in the Digital Beamforming into analog. 5.5.4.3 Digital Beamforming The ultrasound generated by a probe takes channel mode that uses a number of elements for TX Focusing. The ultrasound generated by channel is penetrated through medium and ref lected as echo signal. However, since echo signals do not return to Probe Element simultaneously, but they return with delay variation. Therefore, a countermeasure against the delays is necessary for RX Focusing and it is very important to construct ultras ound image. Digital Beamforming samples the echo signal returned to Probe Element and save the sampled data into the memory. The data saved in the memory when the sampling is complete means that time compensation is complete. The time compensation is done by the Sampling Clock itself. RX Focusing becomes complete, just by reading the data saved in memory and adding the data. Since this method requires different Sampling Clock for each element, VSCG(Variable Sampling Clock Generator) is necessary. VSCG(Vari able Sampling Clock Generator) uses 61.6Mhz that is the same as A/D Sampling Clock and generates data necessary for BF ASIC(MCB 1 24A). Chapter 5. Product structure 5-10

[Page 130] 5.7 Back End Part 5.7.1 Major Function Back End Part consists of DSP(Digital Signal Processing) Part, DMA & RTC Part, and Analog Sound Part. DSP Part receives RF Data and CW I/Q Data from the BF Board and CW Board respectively, processes the dat a and outputs the data as image data such as BW Image, PW Doppler, CW Doppler, Color Doppler, and Power Doppler. The image data pass through the Frame Average of the BE Board’s DMA & RTC Part, are sent to the PC Part through the PCI BUS and are processed b y the Software DSC. Analog Sound Part processes the Doppler Sound Data from the DSP Part, with the Digital Analog Converter, amplifies the signal and sends it to the speaker. BE Part consists of AISIC (MCB 028 A), FPGA Analog Sound Part . 5.7.2 Block Diagra m [Figure 5 - 5] Back End Board Block Diagram Chapter 5. Product structure 5-13

The input RF data in converted into RF data, which can be processed by the FPGA , and Input to the ASIC (MCB 028 A). The ASIC (MCB 028 A) generate BW mode image data (hereafter, BW Data) and send the data to the FPGA. The ASIC (MCB 028 A) are used to implement FSI(Full Spect rum Image) function that has 3 bands. The final processing of FSI(Full Spectrum Image) function is done in the FPGA. ASIC (MCB 028 ) not only generate BW data but also do the functions of FSI(Full Spectrum Image), Spatial Compound Imaging (SCI), Trapezoidal I maging, and Synthetic Aperture. Especially, BW data is generated using the received RF data and through the DTGC(Digital Time Gain Compensation), Decimation, Quadrature mixer, Envelope detection, Log compression and various filters. The BW data generated by ASIC (MCB 028 A) as described above are input to the FPGA again. The data are processed by FSI(Full Spectrum Image) and Lateral filter, which is used to remove Multibeam artifact, and sent to the DMA & RTC Part. Chapter 5. Product structure 5-14
[Page 132] For your reference, BW data can also be us ed as Motion Mode Image Data. 5.7.4.2 Doppler Image Data Processing The RF data generated in the BF Board is input to the FPGA. The input RF data is converted into RF data that can be processed by the FPGA and input to the ASIC (MCB 028 A). ASIC (MCB 028 A) receives RF data and does the DTGC (Digital Time Gain Compensation), Decimation, and Quadrature mixer processing for the RF data . The RF data becomes I/Q data (In - phase & Quadrature Data). I/Q data are input to the FPGA again. I/Q data are processed by th e FPGA and Doppler DSP and become Doppler Data and are sent to the DMA & RTC Part. Detailed descriptions are given below. The DSP FPGA that received the I/Q Data, sends the data to the Doppler DSP via filtering. At this time, the CW I/Q Data from the CW Bo ard also sends final Doppler Data to the DMA & RTC Part through the same process as above. Since both PW and CW data cannot be processed simultaneously, all commands follow internal control process. I/Q Data passes through the Clutter Filter in the Doppler DSP to remove the Wall (blood vessel wall) Noise after the data are filtered by the DSP FPGA. After that, the Doppler Sound is generated through the Hilbert transform that separates sound directions. The data are input to the DSP FPGA again and is sent to the Analog Sound Part of the BE Board. In addition, I/Q Data are sent to the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) circuit to generate the Doppler Spectrum, after passing through the Clutter Filter. By extracting the basic Doppler components of Power, Velocity, a nd Variance components, the Doppler Data are generated. The data are input to the DSP FPGA again and is sent to the DMA & RTC Part of the BE Board. 5.7.4.3 Color Image Data Processing RF Data generated in the BF Board are input to the DSP FPGA. The inpu t RF data is converted into RF data that can be processed by the FPGA and input to the ASIC (MCB028A). ASIC (MCB 028 A) receives RF data and does the DTGC(Digital Time Gain Compensation), Decimation, and Quadrature mixer processing for the RF data . The RF d ata becomes I/Q data (In - phase & Quadrature Data). I/Q data are input to the DSP FPGA again. I/Q Data generates Color Data through the processing in the Color Processor (MCB02 8 A) and the data are sent to the DMA & RTC Part. Detailed descriptions are given below. The DSP FPGA receives the I/Q Data, sends the data to the Color Processor (MCB02 8 A) to extract color components. However, since the color component include Wall (blood vessel wall) Noise, the data are sent to the DSP FPGA again and passes through th e Rejection, Smooth Filter, and Post Filter. Color Data are completed in the process and sent to the DMA & RTC Part of the BE Board. Chapter 5. Product structure 5-15
[Page 133] 5.7.5 Analog Sound Part Operation Mechanism Processes the Doppler Sound and outputs to the speaker. Doppler Sound is ge nerated in the Doppler Part and is sent to the Analog Sound Part. Doppler Sound passes through Audio Digital Analog Converter because the speaker requires analog signal. In addition, the control of the Audio Digital Analog Converter is supported by the DMA & RTC Part. After that, the noise is removed and Doppler Sound is amplified and sent to the speaker via the LCD IF Board. 5.7.6 DMA & RTC Part Operation Mechanism The DMA Part of the DMA & RTC Part (Direct Memory Access & Real Time Controller Part) tem porarily saves the Image Data (BW, Doppler, Color) that is signal - processed in the DSP Part and the ECG Data from the ECG Module and sends Image Data to the PC Part through PCI Bus according to the purpose of the data. The RTC Part also determines base sig nal and operation sequence of all Image Modes, and controls the Audio Digital Analog Converter. 5.7.6.1 DMA Part DMA (Direct Memory Access) consists of FA(Frame Average), DMA and ECG In/Out Part. FA (Frame Average) processes the BW, Doppler, Color Data w ith the average of the current Frame’s Scan line Data and the previous Frame’s Scan line Data. DMA temporarily saves the Frame - Averaged BW, Doppler, and Color Data and send them through the PCI BUS upon request of the PC Part. In addition, ECG Data are al so saved and transferred in the same way as above. Since DMA processes data using the DMA path with the PC Part, it plays key role to improve the product performance. 5.7.6.2 RTC Part RTC(Real Time Controller) generates base signal necessary for entire system operation in real - time and controls the system operations. It generates and controls the PRF (Pulse Repeat Frequency), OF(One Frame), RP(Rate Pulse), Line Type, and Scan Line signals necessary for the BF Board and BE Board’s DSP Part. In addition, it internally controls the data flow in the DMA FPGA. 5.7. 7 Non CW function 5. 7 . 7 .1 Master Clock It provides 61.6Mhz Master Clock of the Ultrasound System Part to the CW(Continuous Wave Board), BF(Beamformer Board), and BE(Back End Board) so that the boards can be synchronized. 5. 7 . 7 .2 Beamformer Sensing Beamformer Sensing controls the TX voltage and current of is BF(Beamforming Part ) .

It is also called a Transducer or Scan head. The system limits patient contact tempe rature to 43 ℃ 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 design ed to keep patient contact surface temperature under 43 ℃ degrees Celsius in the event of a single fault failure. 9.1 Overview 9 - 1 9.2 Probe List 9 - 2 9.2.1 Probe Application and Preset 9 - 2 9.2.2 Function List 9 - 3 9. 3 Thermal Index (TI Table) 9 - 5 9.4 Ultrasound Transmission Gel . 9 - 6 9.5 Sheaths 9 - 7 9. 6 Probe Precautions 9 - 8 9.6.1 Use and Infection Control of the Probe .. 9 - 8 9.6.2 Electric Shocks 9 - 9 9. 7 Cleaning and Disinfecting the Probe 9 - 10 9.7.1 Information of Det ergent, Disinfectant and Ultrasound Gel 9 - 10 9.7.2 Cleaning 9 - 16 Chapter 9.

[Page 185] 9. 6 Probe Precautions The probe can easily be damaged by improper use or by contacting certain chemical substances. Always follow the instructions in the user manual to inspect the probe cable, case and lens before and after each use. Check for cracks, broken parts, leaks and sharp edges. If there is any damage, immediately stop using the probe and contact the MEDISON Customer Support Department. Using damaged probes may result in electric shocks and other hazards to the patients and/or users • Do not apply mechanical shock to the probe . • Do not place the probe cable on the floor where the cable can be run over by equipment wheels, etc. Do not apply excessive force to bend or pull the cable . • Do not immerse the probe into any inappropriate substances such as alcohol, bleach, ammonium chlori de and hydrogen peroxide . • Do not expose the probe to temperatures of 50°C or higher . 9. 6 .1 Use and Infection Control of the Probe The ultrasonographic image scanner uses ultrasound, and it makes direct contact with the patient when in use. Depending on the types of examinations, such contact can be made to a wide variety of locations including the ordinary skin or the location of blood transfusion during a surgery. The most effective method to prevent infection among patients is to use each probe only once. However, probes may need to be reused, as they are complex in design and expensive. Consequently, protective devices such as sheaths must be used, and the safety instructions must be followed carefully in order to minimize the risk of infection among patients . • No neurosurgical treatments or examinations should be carried out on a patient with Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (critical brain disease caused by virus). If the p robe has been used on such a patient, it cannot be sterilized by any method whatsoever . • Sufficient washing and disinfecting must be carried out for preventing infecti on. This is the responsibility of the user who manages and maintains the disinfection procedures for the equipment. Always use legally approved detergents and sheaths . Chapter 9. Probe 9-8
[Page 186] 9. 6 .2 Electric Shocks The probe uses electrical energy. If it touches conductive materials, there are risks of electric shocks to the patient or the user . • Regularly receive short - circuit examination from the SAMSUNG MEDISON Service Department . • Do not i mmerse the probe into liquid . • Do not drop the probe or apply mechanical shocks . • Inspect the housing, stra i n relief, lens and seal for damage, and check for any functional problem before and after each use . • Do not apply excessive force to twist, pull or ben d the probe cable. It may result in a short circuit . • The power protection fuse protects the probe and the product from excess current. If the power monitoring protection circuit detects excess current, it immediately shuts off the current to the probe in o rder to prevent the probe surface from overheating and to restrict the ultrasound power output . • The temperature of the product for making contact with patients is limited under 43°C .
