Patient Interface Module
The imaging catheter connects to the patient interface module (also referred to as the
PIM), which excites the catheter’s transducer elements to transmit ultrasonic energy to
the surrounding tissue. The PIM, shown in the figure below, amplifies and processes the
resultant echo signals from the transducer, sending them to the console through its
connection on the rear panel of the console. Additionally, the PIM provides patient
electrical isolation.

WARNING: The PIM’s cable may be damaged if equipment is rolled on it. Do not
pull on the cable, place it where there is any traffic, or use extensive force; the strain
relief ends may be damaged. Do not use the system if the outer case or wires appear
damaged.
