ALPINION Medical Systems · Model E-CUBE i7
The E-CUBE i7 fulfills long awaited need for high quality imaging. Crystal Signature High class single crystal transducer technology. Single crystal is a new kind of piezoelectric material which shows superior image quality. Crystal Signature, ALPINIONs world leading single crystal technology, provides higher sensitivity, better penetration, and less heat degradation than traditional PZT materials. With its single crystal phased array transducers (SP1-5T, SP3-8T), the E-CUBE i7 fully supports various diagnosis including adult echo, pediatric echo, and pediatric abdomen. High-frequency enhanced linear transducer The E-CUBE i7 features a high-frequency linear transducer, the hockey stick-shaped IO8-17T. The IO8-17T is ideal for imaging for superficial, nerve blocks, and vascular procedures. IO8-17Ts small footprint allows easier access to tight spots and its excellent resolution in the near field provides extremely detailed anatomical information for patients. The E-CUBE i7s sliding keyboard cover provides a solution for sonographers who suffer the inevitable wrist pain from the long term operation of imaging platforms. By making small changes, the E-CUBE i7 grants huge benefits. The location of keyboard is closer to user, allowing better support for the arms and wrists, thus reducing wrist pain from unnatural and awkward postures when typing. The innovative sliding cover supports the wrist at the right angle for a healthy wrist, improves the sonographers comfort when operating the trackball, and prevents the keyboard from being polluted by dust, gel, fluid, and blood. Ergonomics you have never seen before. The E-CUBE i7, the world first portable ultrasound system with a sliding keyboard cover. Specialized work postures involving the repetitive movement of the joints can lead to an increase in the frequencyand severity of repetitive musculoskeletal injuries. Sonographers are at the risk as a result of the posture of their hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, and upper back.
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Symptoms: Noisy, low-contrast or non-uniform image, missing sector, drop-out that follows the system not the probe.
Root cause: Front-end / beamformer board fault, a probe-port (connector) board fault, or a system-board fault.
Symptoms: A probe works on one port but not another, or is not detected at all.
Root cause: Worn probe-port connector or a scan-connector board fault.
Symptoms: Dead system, hangs at boot, or powers off under load.
Root cause: Power supply / DC converter, the system battery, or a system-board fault.
Symptoms: Unresponsive TGC sliders or keys, distorted or blank display.
Root cause: Control-panel board, touchscreen, or the monitor.
Symptoms: Thermal-shutdown warning, fan roar, hot exhaust.
Root cause: Failed or dust-clogged cooling fan or blocked air path.
Symptoms: Studies will not send to PACS, images will not archive, worklist empty.
Root cause: Network configuration or a storage-drive fault.
