Safety
Output Display
The system meets the AIUM output display standard for MI and TI (see last reference listed in
“Related Guidance Documents” below). Table 3 indicates for each transducer and operating mode
whether either the TI or MI is greater than a value of 1.0, thus requiring display.
Regardless that an MI of greater than 1.0 never occurs, the system provides a continuous real-time
display of MI whenever a transducer is operated in a 2D imaging mode. The index is displayed in
increments of 0.1.
The system meets the output display standard for TI. A continuous real-time display of TI is
provided for the operator whenever a transducer is operated in a CPD, DCPD, Color, M Mode, or
PW Doppler imaging mode. The index is displayed in increments of 0.1.
