Chapter 1: Introduction 3
The system is a portable, software-controlled, ultrasound system using all-digital architecture. The system is used
to acquire and display high-resolution, real-time ultrasound images: 2D, color power Doppler (CPD), Color Doppler
(Color), Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI), M Mode, pulsed wave (PW) Doppler, and continuous wave (CW) Doppler.
The system has a cine buffer, pan zoom, labeling, biopsy, measurements, calculations, a connection for image
transfer, image and clip storage, image review, printing, recording, the ability to archive Doppler with audio output
to a videotape, and DICOM connectivity.
Currently, the system supports the following broadband transducers:
• C60e/5-2 MHz 60 mm curved array
• HFL38/13-6 MHz 25 mm linear array
• ICT/8-5 MHz 11 mm intracavitary array
• L38e/10-5 MHz 38 mm linear array
• P17/5-1 MHz 17 mm phased array
• TEE/8-3 MHz phased array
System accessories include the following: mobile docking system (MDS), MDS Lite, mini-dock, Triple Transducer
Connect, a power supply, a battery, ECG cable, video and printer cables, and SiteLink Image Manager 3.0 software.
See the applicable SonoSite accessory user guide for information on the accessories.
System peripherals include medical grade (conforming to the requirements of EN60601-1) and non-medical
(commercial) grade products. System medical grade
peripherals include a printer, VCR, and DVD. System
non-medical grade peripherals include a CompactFlash card and a Kensington Security Cable. System setup
instructions for the use of peripherals are covered in the
MicroMaxx Ultrasound System User Guide .
Manufacturer’s instructions accompany each peripheral. Instructions for the use of peripherals with the system are
covered in the applicable SonoSite accessory user guide.
About the System Software
The ultrasound system contains software that controls its operation. A software upgrade may be required for new
feature releases. Should an upgrade be required, SonoSite will provide you with a CompactFlash card containing
the software. A single CompactFlash card can be used to update one or more systems. Software upgrades use the
back CompactFlash slot on the right hand side of the system. CompactFlash cards installed in the front
CompactFlash slot do not upgrade the system.
Software Licensing
SonoSite software is controlled by a license key, which is obtained from SonoSite or from its authorized
representatives. You must obtain one key for each system or transducer that will use the new software. See
“Obtaining a License Key” on page 46 .
The software may be installed and will operate for a short period of time without requiring a valid license key. We
refer to this period of time as the “grace period.” The grace period is variable.
When you first install your software, your SonoSite system prompts you for a license key. If you have not yet
obtained a valid license key, you can elect to use the software as long as the grace period time has not been fully
consumed.
When a system is running in the grace period, all system functions are available. As you use the system, the grace
period is slowly consumed. When the grace period has expired, the system will not be usable until a valid license
key has been entered. Grace period time is not consumed while the system is powered off or when it is in “sleep”
mode. Whenever a system is running in the grace period, the grace period time remaining is available on the
license update screen.
Caution: When the grace period expires, all system functions except for licensing are unavailable until a
valid license key is entered into the system.
