12.9 IMAGE HAS WAVY INTERFERENCE
To mitigate wavy interference on the ultrasound image, ensure:
• the Ultrasonix system is the only device connected to a dedicated wall outlet. (Sharing a wall outlet with other devices that
emit magnetic interference - such as an X-ray machine, computer server or halogen light - can cause noise on the power
line which interferes with the ultrasound image.)
• the copper fingers around the edge of the transducer connection port have been depressed. In the event the copper
fingers are no longer in firm contact with the transducer connector, gently lift them back into place to restore proper
transducer grounding
• a medical grade power cable connects the system to a wall outlet in order reduce/eliminate interference from the power
line.
12.10 IMAGE HAS THREE (3) UNIFORM BLACK AREAS (LEFT, MIDDLE, RIGHT)
A system with an image that has there are three (3), uniform and evenly spaced dark areas likely has a faulty Ultrasound
(US) Module board.
Test (and if necessary, replace) the US Module:
• A.5.1 Test US Module.
12.11 REGEDIT
Some settings in the registry may need to be edited.
• A.6 Regedit – Ensure Settings are Correct.
12.12 SYSTEM DOES NOT BOOT, ERROR DISPLAYED ON LCD DISPLAY
If the system does not boot and the following message is displayed on the LCD Display “Windows cannot boot up and a
file is corrupt” the system may prompt for a "Safe Mode" or normal boot.
If, after several attempts to boot in "Safe Mode", the system restarts and simply goes back to the same screen, the operating
system may have been corrupted and a System Recovery will need to be performed.
Locate the System Recovery CD which came with the system and contact Ultrasonix Technical Support for further
instructions.
Note: A medical grade power cable has a green dot on the wall plug
Note: Contact an Ultrasonix Technical Support Representative for details on the changes.
Caution: Do not attempt a System Recovery without first consulting an Ultrasonix Technical Support
Representative.
