About the System Software
The ultrasound system contains software that controls its operation. A software upgrade may be
required. SonoSite will provide you with a CompactFlash card containing the software. Typically
new software provides new capabilities. A single CompactFlash card can be used to update one or
more systems. Software upgrades use the back CompactFlash slot on the right hand side of the
system. CompactFlash cards installed in the front CompactFlash slot do not upgrade the system.
