Intelect TranSport®/Vectra Genisys® Ultrasound Therapy Systems

2.1 OVERVIEW
The Intelect Transport/Vectra Genisys Ultrasound Therapy Systems are comprised of several PC board
assemblies housed within a common enclosure. These assemblies each support a distinct function in the
product. The basic elements are User Interface, Control Board, Ultrasound Board, Ultrasound Applicator, and
Power Supply.
2.2 POWER SUPPLY
A universal input Power Supply provides all parts of the system with 24 VDC. The supply is connected to
the mains at all times when the cord is attached. The power switch on the top of the unit, switches the 24
VDC output of the Power Supply to the different components in the system. The 24 VDC supply is regulated
locally at each PC Board as required.
2.3 CONTROL BOARD
The Control Board serves just as its name implies. It controls the operation of the Ultrasound Board, User
Interface and optional accessories. The Control Board communicates to the Ultrasound Board. The Control
Board drives the Display. The Control Board reads the menu buttons. The Control Board also reads the
amplitude and the Contrast Control on the system. Sound output is generated by the Control Board and
routed to an internal speaker.
2.4 ULTRASOUND BOARD AND APPLICATOR
The Ultrasound Board generates the 1 or 3.3 MHz output to drive the ultrasound Sound Head. The
Ultrasound Board is accessed much like an I/O port by the Control Board. It can provide current and voltage
information about the ultrasound output of the board. The calibration data for the Sound Head is passed
through the Ultrasound Board from the Applicator up to the Control Board. By storing the calibration data
in the Applicator there is no calibration necessary for the Ultrasound Board. Calibrated Chattanooga Group
Ultrasound Applicators, designed for the Intelect Transport/Vectra Genisys Ultrasound Therapy Systems, can
be connected and operated on any Intelect Transport/Vectra Genisys Therapy System to provide accurate
coupling and output.
2.5 USER INTERFACE AND ACCESSORIES
The LCD display panel provides the operator visible feedback in the way of menu choices. Pressing the menu
buttons makes selections from the menus. The Control Board interprets these user inputs and responds
accordingly. Audible feedback is given as well for events such as key presses and end of treatment.
The Optional Battery mounts in the system bottom and supplies 24 VDC to the power supply. The Power
Supply distributes the power required to the system as needed. The charging circuit for the battery is
incorporated on the Control Board. An icon on the display reflects the available amount of charge in the
battery. When the system is connected to an approved power outlet and a Battery is installed in the system,
the system will charge the Battery to full capacity. The incorporated charger will not overcharge the Battery.
