Controls Affecting Output
The potential for producing mechanical bioeffects (MI) or thermal bioeffects (TI) can be influenced by certain controls.
The Acoustic Output control has the most significant effect on Acoustic Output.
Indirect effects may occur when adjusting other controls. Controls that can influence MI and TI are detailed under the Bioeffects portion of each control in the
Ch 5
of
the
Basic User Manual
.
Always observe the acoustic output display for possible effects.
Best practices while scanning
NOTE: Refer to the Optimization sections of the Basic User Manual Chapter 5 for a complete discussion of each control.
Acoustic Output Default Levels
In order to assure that an exam may not start at a high output level, the LOGIQ 7/LOGIQ 7 Pro may initiate scanning at a reduced default output level. This reduced
level is preset programmable and depends upon the exam category and probe selected. It takes effect when the system is powered on or
New Patient
is selected.
If you want to adjust the acoustic output level manually, turn the dial below
Power Output
level indicator of the Touch Panel right/left to increase/decrease the level.
HINTS
Raise the Acoustic Output only after attempting image optimization with controls that have no effect on Acoustic Output, such as Gain and
TGC.
WARNING
Be sure to have read and understood control explanations for each Mode used before attempting to adjust the Acoustic Output control or
any control that can effect Acoustic Output.

Hazard
Use the minimum necessary acoustic output to get the best diagnostic image or measurement during an examination. Begin the exam with
the probe that provides an optimum focal depth and penetration.
