Acoustic Output Tables
Terason tests all transducers it sells for use on humans, to determine their maximum
acoustic outputs in the scanning modes supported by the transducers. When the results of
those tests require reporting, a table is generated and included in Appendix F, Acoustic
Output Reporting for Track 3. The following table lists which combinations of transducer
and mode can produce acoustic outputs that exceed the reporting thresholds. There are
also tables for some combinations that do not produce outputs exceeding the thresholds.
