Biopsy Special Concerns
Precautions Concerning the Use of Biopsy Procedures
WARNING Do not freeze the image during a biopsy procedure. The image
must be live to avoid a positioning error.
Biopsy guidezones are intended to assist the user in
determining optimal probe placement and approximate the
needle path. However, actual needle movement is likely to
deviate from the guideline. Always monitor the relative
positions of the biopsy needle and the subject mass during the
procedure.
WARNING NEVER reuse the TR5° disposable biopsy guide attachment

and Disposable sterile Ultra-Pro II Needle guide kits.
CAUTION The use of biopsy devices and accessories that have not been
evaluated for use with this equipment may not be compatible
and could result in injury.

Getting Started
Precautions Concerning the Use of Biopsy Procedures (continued)
CAUTION The invasive nature of biopsy procedures requires proper

preparation and technique to control infection and disease
transmission. Equipment must be cleaned as appropriate for
the procedure prior to use.
• Follow the probe cleaning and disinfection procedures and
precautions to properly prepare the probe.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the cleaning of
biopsy devices and accessories.
• Use protective barriers such as gloves and probe sheaths.
• After use, follow proper procedures for decontamination,
cleaning, and waste disposal.
CAUTION Improper cleaning methods and the use of certain cleaning and
disinfecting agents can cause damage to the plastic
components that will degrade imaging performance or increase
the risk of electric shock.
See ‘Probe Overview’ on page 3-2 for more information.

Displaying the Guidezone (continued)
Figure 1-22. Biopsy Guidezone display (example)
The biopsy guidezone represents a path of the needle. The dots

which make up the guidezones is the depth readout where:
• Yellow represent 1 cm increments.
• Red represents 5 cm increments.
The display should be carefully monitored during a biopsy for
any needle deviation from the center line or guidezone.

Probes
Displaying the Guidezone (continued)
The Biopsy Guidezone adjusts along with image adjustments,

such as image inversion/rotations, zoom and depth changes.
NOTE: To set up biopsy guidezones, refer to Basic User Manual for
more details.
The needle may vary from the center line or guidezone for
various reasons:
• Needle barrel to needle clearance or strength.
• Bracket manufacturing tolerance.
• Needle deflection due to tissue resistance.
• Needle size chosen. Thinner needles may deflect more.
DANGER Failure to match the guidezone displayed to the guide may

cause the needle to track a path outside the zone.
It is extremely important that when using the adjustable angle
biopsy guides, the angle displayed on the screen matches the
angle set on the guide, otherwise the needle will not follow the
displayed guidezone which could result in repeated biopsies or
patient injury.

Getting Started
Preparing the Biopsy Guide Attachment
Convex, Sector and Linear probes have optional biopsy guide

attachments for each probe. The guide consists of a
non-disposable bracket to attach to the probe, disposable
needle clip to attach to the bracket, sheath, gel (sterile gel if

retrieval.

Probes
Post Biopsy
When the biopsy is complete, remove the needle barrel, needle
clip and probe sheath. Properly dispose of these items in
accordance with current facility guidelines.
Clean and disinfect the probe. See ‘Probe Cleaning Process’ on
page 3-7 for more information.
The biopsy bracket can be cleaned and disinfected in a
recommended disinfecting agent and reused.
CAUTION When the biopsy needle guide kit is opened, all parts must be
discarded after the procedure whether they have been used or
not.

Surgery/Intra-operative Use
Preparing for Surgery/Intra-operative Procedures

Preparing the transducer for intra-operative use follows the
same sterile procedure as for biopsy use except that no biopsy
attachments are used. See ‘Preparing the Biopsy Guide
Attachment’ on page 1-44 for more information. Sterile gel is
applied to the transducer face and a sterile sheath completely
covers the transducer and cable which has first undergone a
thorough cleaning and high-level disinfection.
The invasive nature of biopsy procedures requires proper
preparation and technique to control infection and disease
transmission. Equipment must be cleaned as appropriate for
the procedure prior to use.
CAUTION For surgery/intra-operative procedures, a sterile environment is

required. Therefore, both the operator and probe needs to be
sterile.

Probes
Preparing for Surgery/Intra-operative Procedures (continued)

To ensure a sterile environment during the procedure, it is
recommended that this be a two-person job.
1. Perform a high level disinfection of the probe.
2. The scanner (surgeon, sonographer, etc.) should be sterile
and gloved.
3. Place an adequate amount of sterile coupling gel on the
face of the probe.
4. Place the proper sterile sheath over the probe and cord.
Figure 1-38. Applying Sterile Sheath
5. Depending on the type of procedure, use either sterile water

or sterile gel on the sheath cover.
NOTE: Follow your institutions guidelines on post surgery/
intra-operative procedures for probe cleaning and disinfection.

Optimizing the Image and Measurement and Analysis

Performing an Exam
B-Mode Controls
Table 2-1: B-Mode Controls
Possible Description/
Control Bioeffect Benefit
Depth Yes Depth controls the distance over which the B-Mode images anatomy.
To visualize deeper structures, increase the depth. If there is a large
part of the display which is unused at the bottom, decrease the
depth.
Gain No B-Mode Gain increases or decreases the amount of echo

information displayed in an image. It may have the effect of
brightening or darkening the image if sufficient echo information is
generated.
Focus Yes Increases the number of focal zones or moves the focal zone(s) so
that you can tighten up the beam for a specific area. A graphic caret
corresponding to the focal zone position(s) appears on the right
edge of the image.
Auto Optimize No Auto Optimize (Auto) lets you optimize the image based upon a the
actual B Mode image data (Auto Tissue Optimize, ATO). The preset
levels (Low, Medium, and High) allow you to pick a preference for
the contrast enhancement in the resulting image. Low does the least
amount of contrast enhancement, high does the most.
Auto is available in single or multi image, on live, frozen or CINE
images (in B-Mode only), and while in zoom, in Color Flow Mode,
and in Spectral Doppler.
Auto in Color Flow Mode automatically adjusts the overall color gain.
If you find that the gain adjustment that is automatically performed
consistently results in more or less gain than you expect, then the
Auto Optimize Adjustment allows you to adjust the result of the Auto
feature (-5 to 5 range) so that the result more consistently matches
your expectation.
Auto in PW Doppler Mode optimizes the spectral data. Auto adjusts
the Velocity Scale (live imaging only), baseline shift, dynamic range,
and invert (if preset). Upon deactivation, the spectrum is still
optimized.

Table 2-1: B-Mode Controls (Continued)
CrossXBeam No CrossXBeam is the process of combining three or more frames from

different steering angles into a single frame. CrossXBeam is
available on Convex and Linear probes.
CrossXBeam combines multiple co-planar images from different
view angles into a single image at real-time frame rates, using
bi-cubic interpolation.
SRI-HD No SRI-HD (Speckle Reduction Imaging High Definition) is an adaptive

algorithm to reduce the unwanted effects of speckle in the
ultrasound image. Image speckle usually appears as a grainy
texture in otherwise uniform areas of tissue. Its appearance is
related to image system characteristics, rather than tissue
characteristics, so that changes in system settings, such as probe
type, frequency, depth, and others, can change the appearance of
the speckle. Too much speckle can impair image quality and make it
difficult to see the desired detail in the image. Likewise, too much
filtering of speckle can mask or obscure desired image detail. Extra
care must be taken to select the optimal SRI-HD level. SRI-HD is
available in B-Mode imaging and may be used with any transducer
or clinical application when image speckle appears to interfere with
the desired image detail.
Coded Harmonic Yes Harmonic imaging utilizes Digitally Encoded Ultrasound (DEU).
Imaging (CHI) Coded Harmonics enhances near field resolution for improved small
parts imaging as well as far field penetration.
Frequency Yes Multi Frequency mode lets you downshift to the probe's next lower
frequency or shift up to a higher frequency.
Steer Yes You can slant the B-Mode or Color Flow linear image left or right to
get more information without moving the probe. The angle steer
function only applies to linear probes.
Mode Cursor No Displays the M/D-Mode cursor on the B-Mode image.
Virtual Convex Yes On Linear and Sector probes, Virtual Convex provides a larger field
of view in the far field. Virtual Convex is always active with Sector
probes.
TGC No TGC amplifies returning signals to correct for the attenuation caused
by tissues at increasing depths. TGC slide pots are spaced
proportionately to the depth. The area each pot amplifies varies as
well. A TGC curve may appear on the display (if preset), matching
the controls that you have set (except during zoom). You can choose
to deactivate the TGC curve on the image.
Width Yes You can widen or narrow the size of the sector angle to maximize the
image's region of interest (ROI).
Tilt Yes You can steer the sector angle to get more information without
moving the probe while in B-Mode, M-Mode, Doppler Mode, and
Color Flow Mode. Tilt is not available on Linear probes.

Performing an Exam
Table 2-1: B-Mode Controls (Continued)
Dynamic Range No Dynamic Range controls how echo intensities are converted to
shades of gray, thereby increasing the adjustable range of contrast.
The Dynamic Range control name changes to Compression on
frozen images.
Reverse (if Preset) No Flips the image 180 degrees left/right.
Line Density Yes Optimizes B-Mode frame rate or spatial resolution for the best
possible image.
Line Density Zoom Yes You can set the default value for Line Density in zoom
independently.
Colorize No Colorize is the colorization of a conventional B-Mode image or

Doppler Spectrum to enhance the user's ability to discern B, M, and
Doppler Mode intensity valuations. Colorize is NOT a Doppler Mode.
NOTE: You can colorize realtime or CINE images or Timeline CINE,
but not DVR images.
Colorizes the gray scale image to enhance the eye's discrimination
capability. Spectrum Colorize colorizes the spectrum as a function of
power using the inverse of the Colorize map for the signal intensity in
each Doppler line. Colorize enhances the visibility of the spectrum's
characteristics and enhances your ability to identify spectral
broadening and the edge contours of the spectrum used to define
the peak frequency/velocity.
The gray bar displays while Colorize is activated.
PRF Yes Reduces noise artifacts in the image. When you activate PRF, the
frame rate decreases and the noise artifacts are filtered.
Edge Enhance No Edge Enhance brings out subtle tissue differences and boundaries
by enhancing the gray scale differences corresponding to the edges
of structures. Adjustments to M-Mode's edge enhancement affects
the M-Mode only.
Edge Enhance cleans out the B-Mode image/M-Mode timeline by
subduing some of the gray scale in order to highlight the vessel wall
or organ. This is helpful when you cannot differentiate between the
chambers of the heart.
Frame Average No Temporal filter that averages frames together, thereby using more
pixels to make up one image. This has the effect of presenting a
smoother, softer image.
Maps No The system supplies B, M, and Doppler Mode system maps.
Rejection No Selects a level below which echoes will not be amplified (an echo
must have a certain minimum amplitude before it will be processed).
Rotation No Flips the image 180 degrees up/down.

CAUTION: When reading a rotated image, be careful to observe the
probe orientation to avoid possible confusion over scan direction or
left/right image reversal.
Suppression No Suppresses the noise in the image.

M-Mode Controls
Table 2-2: M-Mode Controls
Sweep Speed Yes Changes the speed at which the timeline is swept.
Available in M-Mode, Doppler Mode and M Color Flow Mode.
Anatomical M-Mode Yes Anatomical M-Mode gives you the ability to manipulate the cursor at
different angles and positions. The M-Mode display changes
according to a motion of the M cursor.
Curved Anatomical M-Mode (CAMM) displays a distance/time plot
from a free-drawn cursor line. CAMM is available in gray scale, color
and TVI.

Color Flow Mode Controls

Color Flow Mode and Color M-Mode are Doppler Modes
intended to add color-coded qualitative information concerning
the relative velocity and direction of fluid motion within the
B-Mode or M-Mode image.
Table 2-3: Color Flow Mode Controls
Flow Selection No In the Lower Extremity Vein (LEV) and Abdominal applications, you
can quickly select the flow state via a shortcut on the Color Flow
Mode Touch Panel menu.
Gain No Gain amplifies the overall strength of echoes processed in the Color
Flow window or spectral Doppler timeline.
Scale (Velocity Yes Increases/decreases the Scale on the color bar.

Scale)
Wall Filter No Filters out low flow velocity signals. It helps get rid of motion artifacts
caused from breathing and other patient motion.
Wall Filter Target No The algorithm selects a new regression wall filter and updates the
Override (Hz) wall filter setting and the wall filter cutoff on the user display.
Size/Position of the No Adjust size and position of the color window.

color window
CF/PDI Width No You can set the default CF/PDI ROI width.
CF/PDI Vertical Size No You can set the default CF/PDI ROI vertical size.
Invert (Color Invert) No Lets you view blood flow from a different perspective, e.g., red away
(negative velocities) and blue toward (positive velocities). You can
invert a real-time or frozen image.
NOTE: Invert reverses the color map, NOT the color Scale.
Baseline No Changes the Color Flow or Doppler spectrum baseline to

accommodate higher velocity blood flow. Minimizes aliasing by
displaying a greater range of forward flow with respect to reverse
flow, or vice versa.
Baseline adjusts the alias point. The default baseline is at the
midpoint of the color display and at the midpoint of the color bar
reference display.
Angle Steer Yes You can slant the ROI of the Color Flow linear image left or right to
get more information without moving the probe. The Angle Steer
Accumulation No Accumulation enhances the flow in an image.

Available in Contrast, Color Flow, and PDI.
Color Flow Line Yes Optimizes the Color Flow frame rate or spatial resolution for the best
Density possible color image.

Table 2-3: Color Flow Mode Controls (Continued)
Map No Allows you to select a specific color map. After you have made your
selection, the color bar displays the resultant map.
Map Compress No When you increase the value, high velocity elements in the map are
compressed so that the map darkens. When you decrease the
value, low velocity elements in the map are compressed so that the
map lightens. The effect is visible in the color bar.
Threshold No Threshold assigns the gray scale level at which color information
stops.
Frame Average No Averages color frames.
Transparency Map No Brings out the tissue behind the color map.
Spatial Filter No Smooths out the color, makes it look less pixely.
Flash Suppression No Activates/deactivates Flash Suppression, a motion artifact

elimination process.
Packet Size Yes Controls the number of samples gathered for a single color flow
vector.
Sample Vol (Sample Yes Places the sample volume gate on the Color Flow image. The gate is
Volume) positioned over a specific position within the vessel.
CF/PDI Auto Sample No You can set the default CF/PDI Auto Sample Volume.
Volume
CF/PDI Center No You can set the default CF/PDI center depth.

CF/PDI Focus Depth No You can set the default CF/PDI center depth.
(%)
CF/PDI Frequency No You can set the default CF/PDI Frequency (MHz).
(MHz)
CF/PDI Auto No You can set the default CF/PDI Auto Frequency.
Frequency
Power Doppler No Power Doppler Imaging (PDI) is a color flow mapping technique
Imaging (PDI) used to map the strength of the Doppler signal coming from the flow
rather than the frequency shift of the signal. Using this technique, the
ultrasound system plots color flow based on the number of reflectors
that are moving, regardless of their velocity. PDI does not map
velocity, therefore it is not subject to aliasing.

M-Mode, or timeline only.
Update Yes Toggles between simultaneous and update presentation while

viewing the timeline.
Simultaneous Yes Toggles between simultaneous and update presentation while

(Duplex/Triplex) viewing the timeline.
Update increases the Spectral Doppler display quality.
Baseline No Adjusts the baseline to accommodate faster or slower blood flows to

eliminate aliasing.
Compression No Compression controls how echo intensities are converted to shades

of gray, thereby increasing the range of contrast you can adjust.
Optimizes the image's texture and smoothness by increasing or
decreasing the amount of gray scale.
Invert No Vertically inverts the spectral trace without affecting the baseline
position.

Introduction
Measurements and calculations derived from ultrasound images
are intended to supplement other clinical procedures available
to the attending physician. The accuracy of measurements is not
only determined by system accuracy, but also by the use of
proper medical protocols by the user. When appropriate, be sure
to note any protocols associated with a particular measurement
or calculation. Formulas and databases used within the system
software that are associated with specific investigators are so
noted. Be sure to refer to the original article describing the
investigator's recommended clinical procedures.
WARNING The system provides calculations (e.g estimated fetal weight)

and charts based on published scientific literature. The
selection of the appropriate chart and clinical interpretation of
calculations and charts is the sole responsibility of the user.
The user should consider contraindications for the use of a
calculation or chart as described in the scientific literature. The
diagnosis, decision for further examination, and medical
treatment must be performed by qualified personnel following
good clinical practice.

Clinical Measurement Accuracy
Basic Measurements
The following information is intended to provide guidance to the

user in determining the amount of variation or measurement
error that should be considered when performing clinical
measurements with this equipment. Error can be contributed by
equipment limitations and improper user technique. Be sure to
follow all measurement instructions and develop uniform
measurement techniques among all users to minimize the
potential operator error. Also, in order to detect possible
equipment malfunctions that could affect measurement
accuracy, a quality assurance (QA) plan should be established
for the equipment that includes routine accuracy checks with
tissue mimicking phantoms.
Please be advised that all distance and Doppler related
measurements through tissue are dependent upon the
propagation velocity of sound within the tissue. The propagation
velocity usually varies with the type of tissue, but an average
velocity for soft tissue is assumed. This equipment is designed
for, and the accuracy statements listed on are based on, an
assumed average velocity of 1540 m/s. The percent accuracy
when stated applies to the measurement obtained (not the full
scale range). Where the accuracy is stated as a percent with a
fixed value, the expected inaccuracy is the greater of the two.

Probe handling and infection control

This information is intended to increase user awareness of the
risks of disease transmission associated with using this
equipment and provide guidance in making decisions directly
affecting the safety of the patient as well as the equipment user.
Diagnostic ultrasound systems utilize ultrasound energy that
must be coupled to the patient by direct physical contact.
Depending on the type of examination, this contact occurs with a
variety of tissues ranging from intact skin in a routine exam to
recirculating blood in a surgical procedure. The level of risk of
infection varies greatly with the type of contact.
One of the most effective ways to prevent transmission between
patients is with single use or disposable devices. However,
ultrasound transducers are complex and expensive devices that
must be reused between patients. It is very important, therefore,
to minimize the risk of disease transmission by using barriers
and through proper processing between patients.
CAUTION Adequate cleaning and disinfection are necessary to prevent

disease transmission. It is the responsibility of the equipment
user to verify and maintain the effectiveness of the infection
control procedures in use.

Probe Overview
Probe handling and infection control (continued)
CAUTION To minimize the risk of infection from blood-borne pathogens,

you must handle the probe and all disposables which have
contacted blood, other potentially infectious materials, mucous
membranes, and non-intact skin in accordance with infection
control procedures. You must wear protective gloves when
handling potentially infectious material. Use a face shield and
gown if there is a risk of splashing or splatter.

Endocavitary probe safety

If the sterilization solution comes out of the endocavitary probe,
please follow the cautions below.
WARNING Sterile/sanitary sheaths are to be used on the probe during

itsactual use with patients. Wearing gloves protects the patient
and operator.
CAUTION Sterilant Exposure to Patient (e.g., Cidex)-Contact with

asterilant to the patient’s skin or mucous membrane may
causean inflammation. If this happens, refer to the
sterilant’sinstruction manual.Sterilant Exposure from Probe
Handle/Connector toPatient (e.g., Cidex)-DO NOT allow the
sterilant to contactthe patient. Only immerse the probe to its
specified level.Ensure that no solution has entered the probe’s
handle beforescanning the patient. If sterilant comes into
contact with thepatient, refer to the sterilant’s instruction
manual.Endocavitary Probe Point of Contact-Refer to
thesterilant’s instruction manual.

Probe Overview
Cleaning and disinfecting probes
WARNING Ultrasound transducers can easily be damaged by improper

handling and by contact with certain chemicals. Failure to
follow these precautions can result in serious injury and
equipment damage.
Use only germicides that are listed in the Probe Care Card
enclosed with the probe. In addition, refer to the local / national
regulations.
WARNING Do not steam, heat autoclave on general surface probes.
CAUTION You MUST disconnect the probe from the LOGIQ P9/P7 prior
to cleaning/disinfecting the probe. Failure to do so could
damage the system.
CAUTION Avoid cross-contamination, follow all infection control policies

established by your office, department or hospital as they apply
to personnel and equipment.
CAUTION Inspect the probe before and after each use for damage or
degradation to the housing, strain relief, lens, seal, cable and
connector. DO NOT use a transducer which appears damaged
until functional and safe performance is verified. A thorough
inspection should be conducted during the cleaning process.
CAUTION Take extra care when handling the lens face of the ultrasound
transducer. The lens face is especially sensitive and can easily
be damaged by rough handling. NEVER use excessive force
when cleaning the lens face.
CAUTION Probes for neuro surgical intra-operative use must NOT be

sterilized with liquid chemical sterilants because of the
possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the probe.
Neurological procedures must be done with the use of legally
marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheaths.

avoided. If a probe becomes contaminated, there is no
adequate disinfecting means.

Probe Overview
Probe Cleaning Process

To clean the probe:
NOTE: Do not immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level
specified for that probe (‘Probe Immersion Levels’ on
page 3-11). Never immerse the transducer connector into any
liquid.
CAUTION • Do not use paper products or products that are abrasive

when cleaning the probe. They damage the soft lens of the
probe.
• Before storing the probes, ensure that they are thoroughly
dry. If it is necessary to dry the probe after cleaning, blot
the probe with a soft cloth.
1. Inspect the probe's lens, cable, casing, and connector for

cracks, cuts, tears, and other signs of physical damage.
2. Disconnect the probe from the ultrasound console and
remove all coupling gel from the probe by wiping with a soft
cloth and rinsing with flowing water.
NOTE: DO NOT wipe the probe with a dry cloth.
3. Soak the probe head in water. Scrub the probe as needed
using a soft sponge, gauze, or cloth to remove all visible
residue from the probe surface.
4. Rinse the probe with enough clean potable water.
5. Air dry or dry with a soft cloth.
6. After cleaning, inspect the probe's lens, cable, casing and
connector. Look for any damage that would allow liquid to
enter the probe. Also, inspect the probe functionality by live
scan. If any damage is found, do not use the probe until it
has been inspected and repaired/replaced by a GE service
representative.

Disinfecting probes
In order to provide users with options in choosing a germicide,
GE routinely reviews new medical germicides for compatibility
with the materials used in the transducer housing, cable and
lens. Although a necessary step in protecting patients and
employees from disease transmission, liquid chemical
germicides must also be selected to minimize potential damage
to the transducer.
Refer to the Probe Care Card enclosed in the probe case or to
http://www.gehealthcare.com/transducers for the latest list of
compatible cleaning solutions and disinfectants.
Table 3-2: Description of Pictogram on Care card
Pictogram Description
“ATTENTION” - Consult accompanying documents” is intended to alert the

user to refer to the operator manual or other instructions when complete

Backup and Restore
To minimize accidental loss of data, perform backup of the

patient archives stored on the local hard drive DAILY as
described in this section. Use a formatted Backup/Restore disk
to back up patient archives from the hard drive, using the
backup procedure described in this section. Data from the
Backup/Restore disk may be restored to the local hard drive
using the restore procedure.
NOTE: To perform backup and restore procedures, you must login with
administrator privileges.

Backup procedure
Back up patient data AFTER you’ve archived (via EZBackup/
EZMove) images so that the pointers to the patient’s images
reflect that the images have been moved to removable media
and are no longer on the hard drive.
1. Insert media into the drive or USB device into a USB port.
NOTE: About formatting media.
2. In the patient screen, select the dataflow Local Archive - Int.
HD.
3. On the monitor display, select the Utility icon.
4. On the Utility Touch Panel, press System.
5. On the monitor display, select Backup/Restore.
The Backup/Restore screen is displayed.
6. In the Backup list,
• Select Patient Archive and Report Archive to backup
the patient records.
• Select User Defined Configuration to copy system
settings and user presets.
NOTE: The detailed section of this menu decouples the user
defined configuration above. This allows you to selectively
restore what you want to restore across multiple machines.
7. Specify where to save data in the media field.
8. Select Backup.
The system performs the backup. As it proceeds, status
information is displayed on the Backup/Restore screen.
9. At the end of the process, the Backup completed message
is displayed on the monitor.
Press Eject (F3) for eject media/disconnect USB device.
10. Make sure to physically label the media. An identification of
the system should also be noted on the media and a backup
log should be kept.
File the media in a safe place.

System Presets
Restore procedure
CAUTION The restore procedure overwrites the existing database on the

local hard drive. Make sure to insert the correct media.
You cannot restore the data between systems with different
software versions.
CAUTION To avoid the risk of overwriting the local patient and report
archives, DO NOT check Patient Archive when restoring
user-defined configurations.
1. On the monitor display, select Utility icon.

2. On the Utility Touch Panel, press System.
3. On the monitor display, select Backup/Restore.
The Backup/Restore screen is displayed.
4. In the Restore list,
• Select Patient Archive and Report Archive to restore
the patient archive.
• Select User Defined Configuration to restore all
system settings and user presets.
or
One or several system configuration items to restore
parts of the Detailed Restore of User Defined.
5. In the Media field, select the appropriate Source device.
6. Select Restore.
The system performs the restore. As it proceeds, status
information is displayed on the Backup/Restore screen.
7. The LOGIQ P9/P7 restarts automatically when Restore is
done.

Backup and restore strategy: user-defined configurations
In addition to generating a safety copy, the backup/restore

function of the user-defined configuration (presets) can be used
to configure several LOGIQ P9/P7 systems with identical
presets (preset synchronization).
Preset synchronization
The procedure for preset synchronization of several scanners is
as follow:
1. Make a backup of the user-defined configurations on a
removable media from a fully configured LOGIQ P9/P7
system.
2. Restore user-defined configurations from the removable
media to another LOGIQ P9/P7 system (you can restore all
the user-defined presets or select specific presets to restore
via Detailed Restore).

System Presets
EZBackup and EZMove
EZBackup or EZMove allows you to manage hard disk space

(move images off the hard drive) while maintaining the patient
database on the scanner, as well as to back up the patient
database and images.
• EZBackup: Copy the data from the local HDD to the
removable media.
• EZMove: Copy the data from the local HDD to the
removable media. After copying the image file to the media,
EZMove deletes the image file from the Local HD.
HINTS PLEASE READ THIS

Ensure that you have established a data management protocol
for your office/institution. You MUST manage the backup media
by keeping a log and by creating a media filing system.
For example, if you need to back up 500 MB/day, or 2.5 GB/
week, then you need to back up 5 CDs/week, or ~250CDs/
year.
Generally speaking, you should back up the system when you
have 10 GB of images to back up.
You should assign the person who is in charge of performing
the backups. Backups will vary by the volume of your work. You
need to track how long it takes your office/institution to get to
10 GB, and set the back-up parameters accordingly.
Your office/institution needs to determine your backup strategy,
for instance, backup weekly and move monthly. It should be an
easy strategy to perform and to remember. And follow this
same strategy/schedule consistently.
It’s also useful to keep your more recent information on the
hard drive since it’s easier to recall that way.

EZBackup and EZMove (continued)
CAUTION You can still do a backup/move daily; but ALWAYS do a patient

archive backup after each move.
CAUTION Only cancel the backup/move in case of an emergency. The

system completes backing up the current media and then
cancels the operation.
CAUTION When EZBackup requires more than one disk (CD-R or

DVD-R) for backup, a message appears when the first disk is
full. If you select “Cancel” to stop the backup procedure and
later try EZBackup again, all the data may not be backed up.
Select “Full Backup” on the first EZBackup wizard screen if the
last time you were performing EZBackup you selected
“Cancel”.
CAUTION If you use EZBackup or EZMove as a “true” patient archive,

you must maintain a separate backup of the patient database
(Patient Archive and Report Archive). If for any reason the
Local Archive - Int HD gets corrupted or the base system
software has to be reloaded, then the patient archive is the
ONLY way to rebuild the EZBackup and EZMove patient
archive.
CAUTION DO NOT turn off the power while EZBackup is running. The
data may be lost. It may take several hours for EZBackup to
finish, depending on the amount of data being backed up.
The following may give the impression of a lockup, but
EZBackup is continuing in the background.
• The progress bar does not move.
• The screen may become white.
• The hourglass icon keep turning.

System Presets
CAUTION NEVER restore the patient archive from media made previous
to the last move.
NOTE: EZBackup/EZMove saves data as RAW data. If you import data

to the system, you can modify the image data.
NOTE: To display exported Raw DICOM images on a PC, you need the
dedicated viewer.
NOTE: When backing up or moving reports, do not use EZBackup or
EZMove, EZBackup or EZMove cannot back up or move
reports.
NOTE: “Archived” information is saved to each exam during EZBackup.
When you perform EZBackup, the system backs up the exams
except for the archived exam.
NOTE: EZBackup/EZMove cannot span a single image across two (2)
or more media. Therefore, if EZBackup/EZMove encounters an
image that is greater than the capacity of the media, it skips the
oversized image.
NOTE: EZBackup/EZMove does not store images to media in
sequential order. Instead it maximizes the most amount of
images per media.
NOTE: If the system locks up during the media auto format process,
shutdown the system by holding down the power button and
reboot the system. After the system is up, replace the media to a
new one and execute EZBackup or EZMove again. To avoid
trouble such as data loss, do not reuse the failed media for any
other function.
NOTE: If you try exporting a previously backed-up exam, the message
“Can’t Find Source file” displays. The image data had already
been removed from the hard disk drive with EZBackup/EZMove.

Basically, when you perform the EZBackup or EZMove

procedure, you insert the media (or connect USB HDD if
applicable), the system backs up/moves the images (or reports),
and creates a reference between the patient database and the
media’s volume.
NOTE: EZBackup/EZMove can take up to 20 minutes (or longer,
depending on the size of the backup). Make sure to schedule
this at the same time daily, when no patients are scheduled.
1. Prepare unformatted media or the USB HDD before starting
EZBackup/EZMove.
NOTE: BEFORE starting the EZBackup, select “Unlock All” in Utility
--> Admin --> Logon.
2. Specify the EZBackup/EZMove setup on the Utility -->
System --> Backup/Restore page.

System Presets

3. To start the EZBackup/EZMove procedure, go to the Patient
menu and select EZBackup/EZMove. The EZBackup/
EZMove Wizard starts.
NOTE: If you use the USB HDD, some wizards and the pop-up
messages DO NOT appear.
Figure 3-13. Patient Screen


4. Verify the information on the first page of the EZBackup/
EZMove Wizard, then press Next.
Full backup options display on the first page of the
EZBackup wizard. If you want to backup all of the exams in
the range (even if the exam was previously backed up,
check this option).
EZBackup does not back up the exams which were
previously backed up once by EZBackup or Export.
NOTE: You can set the range for EZMove in Utility --> System -->
Backup/Restore --> Move files older than in days.
NOTE: If you update an exam which is already backed up, the
exam is also backed up.
Figure 3-14. EZBackup/EZMove Wizard, Page 1

System Presets

5. Verify the information on the EZBackup/EZMove Wizard,
Page 2. The backup may span multiple media. This page
tells you how many media you need to do this backup. After
you have gathered the media (allow for one extra media,
just in case), you are ready to begin the backup. Press Next.
Free Space/Total Size: tells you the size of the data you
have selected to store/and the total size of the USB Hard
Drive storage media. If the storage capacity of the USB HD
is insufficient, you will see the message, “Selected Location
does not have enough free space.”
NOTE: The calculation for the number of backup CDs is only an
estimate. Allow for one additional CD when performing an
EZBackup/EZMove.
NOTE: This message appears if you press Next without inserting
the backup media: “Please insert a blank media...”. Insert
the media and continue.


6. A pop-up message appears that provides you with the
media label. Label the media, then insert the media. Press
OK.
Figure 3-16. Insert Media Message
a. Ensure that you label the media with not only the
volume name indicated on the Insert Media Message,
but with the name of the LOGIQ P9/P7 system where
this backup/move procedure was done.
b. Update the EZBackup/EZMove log with this information
the volume information and the location of the media.
c. After the backup/move has been completed, file the
media.

NOTE: When/if you need to insert the next media, a message

appears providing you with the media label. Label the
media, then insert the next media and press OK.


8. When the backup is complete, the completed wizard page
appears. Press Finish.
9. Do a patient archive after each EZBackup/EZMove (move).

We recommend attaching the patient list to the EZBackup/
EZMove media. Insert the media and select DICOM CD
Read from the Patient Screen for dataflow (if you use a USB
drive, select DICOM USB Drive Read). Select any patient
and press the left Set key to print the patient list on the
digital printer for each CD/DVD.
NOTE: Use Import to restore EZBackup images.

System Presets
To Review EZBacked Up/EZMoved Images

You can review backed up media via the Patient Menu, Import,
and the DICOM Read dataflow.
If you review an EZMoved image,
1. Select the patient on the Patient Menu (on the same system
where the backup/move was performed).
2. Insert the media volume indicated on the Patient Menu.
3. View the exam from the media.
NOTE: You may need to insert a media volume prior to or after the
recommended media.
NOTE: If the patient is split over multiple media, images on the previous
or next media are displayed as triangles.
NOTE: To view the whole patient on the system, use Import, from as
many media as you have for that patient. However, take care not
to import studies over existing studies; duplicate or missing
images may result. Delete the existing exam first.

Overview
You use Connectivity functionality to set up the connection and
communication protocols for the ultrasound system. The
following page gives an overview of each of the Connectivity
functions. Each function is described in detail in the following
pages.

Connectivity Functions
To set up your institution’s connectivity, you must login with
administrator privileges.
1. TCPIP: allows you to configure the Internet Protocol.
2. Device. allows you to set up devices.
3. Service: allows you to configure a service (for example,
DICOM services such as printers, worklist, and other
services such as video print and standard print) from the list
of supported services. This means that the user can
configure a device with the DICOM service(s) that particular
device supports.
4. Dataflow: allows you to adjust the settings of the selected
dataflow and associated services. Selecting a dataflow
customizes the ultrasound system to work according to the
services associated with the selected dataflow.
5. Button: allows you to assign a pre-configured output
service (or a set of output services) to the Print keys on the
control panel.
6. Removable Media: enables formatting (DICOM, database,
or blank formatting) and DICOM verification of removable
media.
7. Miscellaneous: allows you to set up the patient exam menu
options, print and store options, and the order of the
columns in the examination list on the Patient menu.
Configure these screens from left to right, starting with the Tcpip
tab first.
NOTE: The ultrasound system is pre-configured for many services, with
default settings selected. You can change these services and
settings as needed.
CAUTION You must restart the LOGIQ P9/P7 (shutdown) after making
any changes to connectivity settings in the Utility menus. This
includes any changes on the TCPIP or dataflow setup screens.

Anti-Virus Software Note
LOGIQ P9/P7 Security
At GE we’re committed to providing technologies to help you

excel every day. The LOGIQ P9/P7 Ultrasound system is
designed with you, your specialty, and your patients in mind
offering extraordinary image quality, easy workflow, and expert
tools to help you provide the best patient care.
Since the LOGIQ P9/P7 is integrated into your data network, GE
wants to ensure that you are comfortable with the proactive
measures we are taking to secure the product. Below are some
activities and measures that we have performed and
implemented to help secure the LOGIQ P9/P7.
1. Only communication ports that are needed for the LOGIQ
P9/P7 to operate are enabled. All other operating system
communication ports (such as port 4444, which was used by
the MSBlast virus) are disabled.
Ports remaining opened are:
• Port 104 is used for DICOM communication only.
2. All operating system services that are not used by the
system application software (such as DCOM, Windows
Messenger Service, and UPnP) are disabled to help ensure
that the source of security vulnerabilities is minimized.
3. The operating system is locked down to prevent a user from
loading software, opening email, or using a web browser
and introducing viruses or Trojan horses to the system.
4. The “auto run” feature is disabled on the system. For
instance, when a DVD or USB memory stick that has a
program that runs automatically is inserted, the system will
not open or run the program.
5. Our Engineering team performs a security scan on the
LOGIQ P9/P7 system using the same tools that major
organizations and hospital IT organizations use to check for
vulnerabilities on their networks. Failures that are detected
during this test process are corrected as expediently as
possible and are deployed to our installed base customers.

LOGIQ P9/P7 Security (continued)
We have worked diligently to develop a combination of the

safety measures above and the security standards of Windows
Embedded Standard 7 to provide a degree of safety against
Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses, etc., especially for a system
used in a professional hospital grade networking environment
that also typically features its own sufficient safety measures.
Finally, a few points as to why we do not use Anti-Virus software.
The main reasons for not doing so:
• Every virus scanner is constantly active in the background.
Due to the software-intensive operating system of the
Ultrasound scanner, all computing resources are required
for normal operation of this device. Anti-Virus software
activities would have a negative impact on the system
performance.
• The operating software of a medical Ultrasound system is
part of an FDA-cleared medical device that requires a
specific release process. Any update of the Anti-Virus
software would mean a change of the system software.
Such change would require an extensive release and
validation process to help ensure that the Anti-Virus update
does not have any impact on the system software
performance and stability.

Safety
Acoustic Output
CAUTION Allowing the machine to transmit acoustic output when the

probe not in use (or in its holder) can cause the transducer to
build up heat. Always lower the acoustic power or freeze the
image when not in use.
Located on the upper right section of the system display monitor,

the acoustic output display provides the operator with real-time
indication of acoustic levels being generated by the system. See
the Acoustic Output chapter in the Advanced Reference Manual
for more information. This display is based on NEMA/AIUM
Standards for Real-time Display of Thermal and Mechanic
Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment.

Safety Precautions
Acoustic Output Display Specifications
The display consists of three parts: Thermal Index (TI),

Mechanical Index (MI), and a relative Acoustic Output (AO)
value. Although not part of the NEMA/AIUM standard, the AO
value informs the user of where the system is operating within
the range of available output.
The TI and MI are displayed at all times. The TI display starts at
a value of 0.0 and increments in steps of 0.1. The MI display
values between 0 and 0.4 increment in steps of 0.01 and for
values greater than 0.4, increments in steps of 0.1.
Thermal Index
Depending on the examination and type of tissue involved, the
TI parameter will be one of three types:
• Soft Tissue Thermal Index (TIS). Used when imaging soft
tissue only, it provides an estimate of potential temperature
increase in soft tissue.
• Bone Thermal Index (TIB). Used when bone is near the
focus of the image as in the third trimester OB examination,
it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in
the bone or adjacent soft tissue.
• Cranial Bone Thermal Index (TIC). Used when bone is
near the skin surface as in transcranial examination, it
provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in
the bone or adjacent soft tissue.

Safety
Acoustic Output Display Specifications (continued)
Mechanical Index
MI recognizes the importance of non-thermal processes,
cavitation in particular, and the Index is an attempt to indicate
the probability that they might occur within the tissue.
Changing the Thermal Index Type

You can select the displayed TI type on Utility -> Imaging ->
B-Mode. This preset is application dependent so each
application could specify a different TI type.
Controls Affecting Acoustic Output
The potential for producing mechanical bioeffects (MI) or

thermal bioeffects (TI) can be influenced by certain controls.
Direct. The Acoustic Output control has the most significant
effect on Acoustic Output.
Indirect. Indirect effects may occur when adjusting controls.
Controls that can influence MI and TI are detailed under the
Bioeffects portion of each control in the Optimizing the Image
sections.
Always observe the Acoustic Output display for possible effects.

Safety Precautions
Best practices while scanning
HINTS Raise the Acoustic Output only after attempting image

optimization with controls that have no effect on Acoustic
Output, such as Gain and TGC.
NOTE: Refer to the Optimizing the Image sections for a complete

discussion of each control.
WARNING Be sure to have read and understood control explanations for

each mode used before attempting to adjust the Acoustic
Output control or any control that can effect Acoustic Output.
Acoustic Use the minimum necessary acoustic output to get the best
Output diagnostic image or measurement during an examination.
Hazard Begin the exam with the probe that provides an optimum focal
depth and penetration.
Acoustic Output Default Levels
In order to assure that an exam does not start at a high output

level, the LOGIQ P9/P7 initiates scanning at a reduced default
output level. This reduced level is preset programmable and
depends upon the exam category and probe selected. It takes
effect when the system is powered on or New Patient is
selected.
To modify acoustic output, adjust the Power Output level on the
Touch Panel.
