Track 3, FDA 510(k) and IEC 60601-2-37 Acoustic Output
Reporting
Data presented in Track 3 and IEC 60601-2-37 format represents the average MI/TI values of
each transducer model measured under worst-case acoustic output conditions. The on-screen
MI/TI values are based on measurements on one transducer rounded up to the nearest display
increment. It is possible that the values displayed on screen may exceed the MI/TI values
presented in the Track 3 and IEC 60601-2-37 format.
Summary Table for Acoustic Output
An "X" indicates that either the MI index or TI indices is greater than 1.0 for each
transducer/mode. A Track 3 and IEC 60601-2-37 format acoustic output table is supplied for
each transducer/mode combination marked with an "X."
