High Resolution, Premium Women’s Health Ultrasound Hybrid Digital Beamforming Technology and S-Vue Probe Technology Deliver Exceptional Image Clarity 5D Advanced Applications Available Including 5D Heart, CNS, LB, NT and Follicle to Streamline Workflow Fetal Realistic Vue(FRV) Offers 3D/4D Rendering with Excellent Detail and Realistic Depth Penetration 5D Heart (Fetal Heart Examination) 5D Heart is an innovative application which generates and displays 9 standard fetal echocardiography views by applying intelligent navigation technology to volume datasets of the fetal heart. 5D heart has an intuitive workflow that can simplify examination of the fetal heart and reduce operator dependency. [u]5D CNS (Fetal Brain Measurement)[/u] Using intelligent navigation, 5D CNS provides six measurements (BPD, HC, OFD, Cerebellum, Cisterna Magna, Atria of lateral ventricle) from three transverse views of the fetal brain to help facilitate measurement reproducibility and streamline workflow. [u]5D LB (Fetal Long Bone Detection)[/u] 5D LB efficiently locates, displays and measures fetal long bones (Radius, Ulna, Humerus, Femur, Tibia and Fibula) from within the 3D dataset, streamlining workflow while helping to facilitate measurement reproducibility. [u]5D NT (Nuchal Translucency Measurement)[/u] 5D NT intelligent navigation helps to simplify the NT measurement process by locating the precise mid-sagittal plane in a single step. Semi-automatic measurements are then performed for improved NT accuracy and reduce examination time. [u]Designed For Convenience[/u] Streamline examination with 23" Full HD LED monitor, 10.1" touch screen and height-adjustable control panel. The adjustable gel warmer maintains a comfortable gel temperature from 80°F to 102°F. Two endocavity transducer holders are conveniently placed, one side-mounted and one behind the console.
Key tips
- ·Never bypass a radiation interlock to "just get the image" - this is one of the few true zero-tolerance rules in BMET work.
- ·Trend image-quality phantom results over time - drift shows up before an outright failure does.
- ·Portable/mobile units take real physical abuse from transport - check wheel locks and cable strain reliefs more often than fixed units.
Typical Failure Modes
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.
Poor 2D image quality across multiple probes
HighSymptoms: 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.
Transducer not recognised / probe-port fault
MediumSymptoms: 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.
Will not boot / intermittent shutdown
HighSymptoms: Dead system, hangs at boot, or powers off under load.
Root cause: Power supply / DC converter, the system battery, or a system-board fault.
Control panel / touchscreen or monitor fault
MediumSymptoms: Unresponsive TGC sliders or keys, distorted or blank display.
Root cause: Control-panel board, touchscreen, or the monitor.
Overheating / loud cooling fan
LowSymptoms: Thermal-shutdown warning, fan roar, hot exhaust.
Root cause: Failed or dust-clogged cooling fan or blocked air path.
DICOM / network / storage fault
LowSymptoms: Studies will not send to PACS, images will not archive, worklist empty.
Root cause: Network configuration or a storage-drive fault.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Daily QC per modality: image-quality phantom test
- ·Tube and detector inspection
- ·Annual state-required radiation safety survey
- ·Vendor-scheduled preventive maintenance
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Poor image quality or a probe not recognised
- Try the probe on a second port and a known-good probe on the suspect port.
- Wipe off all gel, inspect the lens, and scan a phantom or your own forearm.
- Inspect the probe-port connectors for bent pins or debris.
- Run any built-in front-end / channel diagnostics.
- Replace the probe-port board or front-end board as isolated.
Symptom: Will not boot or shuts down
- Confirm mains and the on/off sequence per the manual.
- Check the power-supply / DC-converter outputs.
- Note any boot / POST beep or code.
- Reseat the system boards.
- Refer the power supply or system board as isolated.
