B.4.4 Acoustic Power Default Settings
The ultrasound system allows direct control of acoustic power by the Power paddle key on the touch
screen. The range can be adjusted is 10% to 100%. The higher the acoustic power number, the
greater the acoustic output.
The factory default settings of acoustic power is 100%. The default settings can be reconfigured by
the operator through the Acoustic Power item on -> Preset -> Image Preset page. The
ultrasound system switch to default settings upon power up, new patient, new exam or new
transducer.
B.5 Operator Control Features
The possibility of producing mechanical/thermal biological effects can be influenced by three kinds of
controls: Direct Controls, Indirect Controls, and Receiver Controls. The qualified operator may use the
system controls to minimize the ultrasound output while acquiring necessary clinical information.

Direct Controls
The acoustic output of the system can be controlled directly through the level of voltage transmitted.
In this case, the maximum acoustic output never exceeds the limits in any mode of operation.
