1.3 Device Description
The Acclarix Ultrasound Imaging System consists of a main system and associated ultrasound
transducers.
The system circuitry generates an electronic voltage pulse, which is transmitted to the
transducer. In the transducer, a piezoelectric array converts the electronic pulse into an
ultrasonic pressure wave. When coupled to the body, the pressure wave transmits through body
tissues. The waves are then reflected within the body and detected by the transducer, which
then converts the waves back to an electrical signal. The Acclarix system then analyzes the
returned signals and generates an ultrasound image or spectral Doppler display.
The Acclarix Ultrasound Imaging System provides the operator the ability to measure
anatomical structures, and offers analysis packages that provide information used by competent
health care professionals to make a diagnosis.
The system’s user interface provides both hard keys for functions frequently used throughout
an exam and touch screen controls for mode-specific functions.
