4.Theory of Operation
Introduction
This section provides a functional description of the ACCUVIX Ultrasound System.
System Architecture
The ACCUVIX system architecture is made up of six fundamental functional elements:
The location and identification of the physical parts of the system are described in the General Information, Cabling,
Configuration, and Parts sections of this document. The functional nature of each is described in the following
paragraphs.
System power development and distribution is provided by the installation site source voltage, the system power
Supply, the backplane power bus, and power interconnect cables (see “Operating Power” on page 41).
The control, acquisition, processing, and presentation elements of the system architecture are supported by a
Pentium IV processor computer platform that provides a real-time operating system with hardware and software
interfaces to the disk drives, control panel, and peripherals. This platform is combined with ultrasound electronics,
which include a digital beamformer, and ultrasound software.
ACCUVIX XQ FIELD SERVICE MANUAL 35 PAGE
The ACCUVIX system ultrasound engine is physically and functionally made up of the Industrial PC Motherboard
(PC card), four digital Beamformer (BF0-BF3) PCBs, Continuous Wave Doppler Processor (CW) PCB, Digital
Signal Processors (DSP) PCB, Digital Scan Converter (DSC) PCB, and Video Manager (VM) PCB.
Most of the ultra-sound signal processing, image processing, analysis, and display functions are performed by
software using the native processing power of the computer (Industrial PC Motherboard).
Operating System
The full-service, real-time Windows 2000 operating system provides an integrated range of resources:
drivers and handlers for storage, video, serial and parallel ports, and support of file system services and graphical user
interfaces. The operating system, based on Pentium processor, is resident on the hard drive. The system software
Performs these tasks:
Functional Description
The ACCUVIX system produces 2D, M-mode, color Doppler, color power angio, spectral Doppler, and 3D
ultrasound images using transducers (probes), digital beamforming, and Doppler processing.
The central processing unit of the system is the Industrial PC Motherboard. The ultrasound components comprise
digital beamformer technology that combines with the operating system to support the system functions.
The ACCUVIX system stores the ultrasound images and patient data on the hard drive and can copy that data to
the removable media, such as magneto-optical (MO) disks and CD-R/W disks for off-line review.
The system can send the images to a black-and-white printer, color printer, or to a VCR. It also generates reports
that can be printed.
After operating power is applied, the major functional elements combine to produce ultra-sound images. The user
interface allows system control and viewing of the results.
Figure 4-1 is a simplified block diagram of the ACCUVIX system, showing the relationship between those major
functional elements and indicating the primary functional tasks performed by each. The diagram organizes the
functional elements as they exist on the system hardware.
The overall system functional flow is power development and distribution, analog signal processing, beamforming,
continuous-wave and color Doppler processing, scan conversion, digital signal processing, and video and audio
presentation. Figure 4-17 is a diagram of the system 2D, M-mode, Doppler, and color data paths.

Operating Power
The AC power source voltage connects directly to the system power supply, which also comprises the rear panel. The
power supply is configured for 115 or 230 Vac operation. (see “Setting Up the System and Peripherals” on page 84).
A system power distribution diagram is shown in Figure 11-2. The power supply output voltages are listed in Table 4-1.
Figure 4-2 is a simple schematic diagram of the power supply.
Figure 4-3 is a simple block diagram of the Probe Select Assembly, which provides the function of a probe select
module. The PSA is the system interface for four probes and the CW pencil probe (Section 1, “General Information”
and Section 15, “probes”).
It contains circuits for probe detection and identification, engaging the appropriate number of relays to accommodate
transmitting and receiving pulses and echoes. The PSA has three 260-pin Cannon connectors and one coax-pin Lemo
connector. Figure 4-4 shows the generic pin grid for the Cannon connector and Figure 4-5 the pin layout for the Lemo
connector.
The PSA receives high-voltage pulse signals from the Beamformer PCBs (“Beamformer (BF0-BF3) and switches them
through analog relays as inputs to the active probe to generate the ultrasound signal. The returning echoes are passed
through these relays and back to the Beamformer PCBs for processing. Probe ID, probe select, and motor drive/control
data is exchanged with the Continuous Wave Doppler Processor (CW) PCB.

Beamformer (BF0-BF3)
Figure 4-6 is a functional diagram of the Beamformer module, which is made up of four identical Beamformer PCBs.
The Beamformer PCBs are responsible for generating and transmitting pulses to the probe elements. When the
returning echoes come back into the system, they are sent in analog form to the Beamformer PCBs for processing,
where the returning echoes are amplified using time gain compensation (TGC), and are filtered prior to being
converted into digital data. Once the data is digitized, it is sent to specialized circuits that perform the beamforming.
The signal processing functions of digital beamforming that determine the real image quality of the system include
dynamic apodization, multiplication, coefficient loading, variable sample clock generation, summation of the
channels within each board, and dynamic gain control.

Figure 4-10 is a simple block diagram of the DSP PCB. The RF data from the Beam-former PCBs is sent to the mid
processor via the by-pass filter. While the RF data is going through the process of filtering and demodulation, it makes
2D-mode output and in-phase/quadrature-phase (I/Q) data. After adjusting the 2D-mode output gain, 2D-mode is output
to the Digital Scan Converter (DSC) PCB.
I/Q data from the CW PCB is received and put through signal clutter filtering, spectral Doppler, and audio processing.
Spectral Doppler is sent to the DSC PCB and audio Doppler is sent to the Video Manager (VM) PCB.
I/Q data from the mid processor is further processed for Color Doppler image data. The Color Doppler processor
provides signal clutter filtering and velocity estimation. The Post DSP then receives this Doppler and clutter data and
carries out the process of flash artifact rejection, spatial filtering, and horizontal line interpolation before outputting the
color Doppler image data to the DSC PCB

Figure 4-11 is a functional diagram of the DSC PCB. Scan conversion is the process for-mapping echo information into
frame memory for displaying on the monitor. The DSC receives ECG data processed by the ECG PCB and grayscale
(2D, M, D) data and color data is received from the DSP for smoothing, edge enhancement, frame averaging, and line
interpolation processing. The DSC maps data to frame memory according to an algorithm and sends image data to the
“Video Manager (VM)”.
Backplane
The Backplane (Motherboard) is the physical and functional “backbone” of the ultrasound engine. It is wired to the power
supply from which it receives DC operating voltages (Table 4-1) to distribute to the system components via a power bus
and power cabling. The Backplane also provides control and signal interconnection between the system components via
data, computer, and control buses (Figure 4-1) and signal cabling. The Beamformer (BF0-BF3), Continuous Wave
Doppler Processor (CW), Digital Signal Processors (DSP), Digital Scan Converter (DSC), Video Manager (VM),
Figure 4-17 is a diagram of the system 2D, M-mode, Doppler, and color data paths. And Input/Output Panel PCBs are all
plugged into connectors on the Backplane (Figure 14-1 and Figure 14-3).

5.Installation
Introduction
This section contains pre-installation, installation, and de-installation information for the ACCUVIX system. On-site
installation usually consists of uncrating, unpacking, installing the monitor and accessories, checking connections,
and powering up the system for a functional check. De-installation consists of disconnecting the probes, removing the
monitor and correctly packing the system components for shipment. Read this section completely, before starting the
installation.
Pre-Installation Evaluation
Before the system is delivered, Medison recommends that you perform the following pre-installation evaluations.
1. With the customer, evaluate site access for delivery. Consider the availability of a loading dock, elevators, ramps,
and the width of passageways and doors.
2. Verify that there is adequate space available for system uncrating and installation.
3. At each location where the system will be operated, verify that there is enough space for the system and any external
peripherals.
4. Check adjacent rooms for activity and types of equipment that might negatively affect the Medison Ultrasound system.
NOTE Avoid placing the system in environments for operation or storage where the equipment is exposed to water
vapor, direct sunlight, high humidity, salty atmosphere, and chemicals or gas.
ACCUVIX XQ FIELD SERVICE MANUAL 81 PAGE
Advise the appropriate facility representative of system environmental operating requirements, including proper
ventilation. If the rooms where the system will be used seem excessively hot or humid to you, ask the facility
representative to take measurements. If they are not within system environmental operating specifications, ask the
facility representative to make the appropriate corrections.
Wiring Requirements
Medison recommends that the electrical feeds to the system each be a dedicated line (no other equipment on the
same line) with a third-wire ground. The ground wire shall be an insulated, isolated solid copper conductor bonded to
the ground bus of the service panel.
The outlet shall be a Hospital Grade Receptacle or an Isolated Ground Receptacle. Proper installation shall reflect
compliance with the national electrical code.
ACCUVIX XQ FIELD SERVICE MANUAL 82 PAGE
WARNING
For safety and liability reasons, do not disassemble any power outlet or open any electrical panel. Have the facility
representative confirm wiring compliance with the criteria specified below.
1. Explain to the facilities representative that the system requires a dedicated AC line meeting the electrical power
requirements identified in Section 2, “Specification”.
2. Verify that the outlet to be used is a dedicated line:
Have the facility representative open the circuit breaker corresponding to the AC line for the system.
Confirm that power is still applied to all other outlets and hard-wired devices in the immediate area and that power
is removed only from the dedicated outlet.
3. Verify the proper wiring of the outlet. Also test for the presence of a ground and if equipped to do so,try to verify
that neutral and ground are not reversed.
4. Review with the facility representative the current draw of the system and the voltage range it requires.It is the
responsibility of the facility representative to determine the proper size of the wire based upon the length of the
feed.
5. Measure the hot/neutral, hot/ground, and neutral/ground voltages with a comparable load (for example, another
ultrasound system) on the line.
6. Determine line loss:
Have the facility representative measure the voltage at the primary of the line's circuit breaker in the distribution
sub-panel. If a facility representative is not available go to step c.
ACCUVIX XQ FIELD SERVICE MANUAL 83 PAGE
Measure the voltage at the wall outlet. Calculate the percentage of voltage loss across the line using this formula:

CAUTION
With system covers or shields removed, ESD will always cause component damage.
ESD damage is cumulative and may not be apparent at first, as indicated by a hard failure, but can cause degraded
performance. Therefore, always use proper ESD handling procedures.
ESD results from a difference in electrical potential equalizing. ESD is more prevalent in low humidity and when there is
friction against carpeting, linen, and clothing. Avoid placing the system directly under or close to HVAC vents. While
special equipment is required to measure ESD levels, you can determine the presence of ESD as follows:
1. Check for the presence of ESD by walking around where the system will be installed and touching grounded surfaces.
note if you experience static discharges in the area.
2. Ask the operators if they have experienced static discharges in the work area.
3. If ESD is evident, suggest possible ESD minimizing devices and their usage, for example, static mats, humidifiers,
and sprays.
System Installation
The following paragraphs contain system installation procedures. After you have completed the physical system
installation and initial setup, verify that the system operates correctly using tests from Section 7, “Performance Tests”.

present. Only a qualified Medison customer service representative should work on internal system components.
-. Do not wear ESD wrist straps grounded to the cart when working inside a system with its power turned on.
Initial Setup
Initial setup consists of applying system power and confirming a successful software initialization. You should also verify
that the system configuration is consistent with the Customer Order Acknowledgement (COA).
These tests rely on the assumption that the site power is in compliance with the pre-installation criteria described in
Section 5, “Installation”.
Check the equipment for abnormalities or conditions that do not meet Medison standards.
6. Verify that the system has the correct software level by reading the software version displayed on the screen
during boot- up or you can check it in system setups.
7. Select a probe and verify that the 2D image is updating.
8. On the monitor, confirm the following (if the monitor has any alignment or color problems, perform the monitor
adjustments described in Section 8, “Adjustments”):
-. Adjustment of the monitor brightness and contrast controls from the minimum to maximum results in no
distortion (blooming) on the display.
-. Display is centered on the screen, with good vertical and horizontal resolution (linearity).
-. There is no tearing or bedding at the corners.
Functional Tests
Use the following procedures to examine system functionality. If system testing reveals any problems, troubleshoot,
repair, and retest the system. Throughout performance testing, continue to verify the following general observations:
Power Switch
If the system diagnostics are enabled, run the All Information diagnostic to verify system information and to check
that the primary PCBs pass their functional tests (see “Running the System Diagnostics” on page 165).
Operate each of the user interface controls to verify that the system user interface is performing correctly. Check the
functions of the control panel, on-screen soft controls, and footswitch. A majority of this testing can be accomplished
while performing the other tests in this section. Verify that the system responds correctly to each control and that the
LEDs light for all controls that have LEDs. If necessary, look up the control function definition in the “Glossary” section
of the ACCUVIX System Reference Manual or press ? for the system online help and search for the control
description you need.

10.Troubleshooting
Introduction
The troubleshooting information provided in this section will assist you in determining if a system is failing and will help
you isolate the cause if it is.
Start Here
1. Prior to taking any action, it is important that you review all relevant warnings, cautions, and procedures.
2. If possible, make a hardcopy print of the system display that shows the first indication of the failure. Take hardcopy
prints of any system displays that reveal the failure as soon as possible to ensure this type of data is not lost.
Relevant data is often lost when the system is rebooted.
3. Try to determine if the symptoms indicate an operating/ procedural error or a system failure, and if a system failure,
whether it is an operating system or an ultrasound problem.
4. Consider the situation: When was the last time the system was working correctly and what, if any, influencing
circumstances have occurred since. Check the system configuration.
5. Check for obvious causes and solutions: Voltage at electrical outlets, “tripped” circuit breakers, blown fuses,
disconnected or damaged wires, etc.
6. If the system diagnostics are enabled, run them to see if the tests detect and report any failures (see “Running the
System Diagnostics”).
7. Conduct tests from Section 6, “Performance Tests”, as required to determine if the system is failing or to attempt to
duplicate the failure.
8. Consider the value against the difficulties of swapping suspect components with good ones. Do not cause additional
problems or confuse your search. Never swap parts if a known good item might be damaged.
ACCUVIX XQ FIELD SERVICE MANUAL 100 PAGE

9. Once the fault has been identified, perform the authorized corrective action needed to repair the failure and conduct
the tests necessary to ensure the system meets an optimum level of performance.
Review Section 3, “Safety”, before continuing. Also follow all additional warnings and cautions contained in this section.
WARNINGS
• Dangerous voltages are present when protective covers are removed. Use extreme caution.
• Do not wear ESD wrist straps grounded to the cart when working inside a system with its power turned on.
• Do not replace components with power connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist with power
disconnected. Always disconnect power and allow circuits to discharge before touching any components.
• To protect against fire hazard, only use replacement fuses of the same type and rating as the original fuses.
CAUTIONS
Always turn power off and wait at least 30 seconds before removing or installing any PCB, module or component.
• Always use correct ESD procedures. Do not handle PCBs without proper ESD protection. Damage to components will
result from improper handling.

2. Push up the tab of the fuse drawer on the upper side of the appliance inlet with a screwdriver, and pull out the fuse
holder as shown in Figure 10-1.
3. Remove the old fuse by pulling up.
4. Install the new fuse by pushing it into the fuse holder.
5. Insert the fuse holder to the appliance inlet. At this time, the arrow direction on the upper side of the fuse holder
should be in accordance with that on the fuse drawer.
6. Push in the fuse drawer until it snaps shut.
2 3
Measure the Power Supply voltages at the connectors shown in Figure 10-13.
NOTE LEDs on rear of power supply indicate presence of voltage (+ tolerance not yet known), which can only be
seen with rear panel removed (LED legend is there. Also, see “Power Supply Removal and Replacement”
on page 169.)
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) can conceivably cause image noise or
monitor distortion if the system EMI shielding has been compromised. EMI and RFI can be generated by a variety of
electrical devices. The interference can be transmitted over power lines or radiated through the air.
-. An operating AM radio tuned between stations around 1,600 Hz can be used as an EMI/ RFI source tester. The
interference would be noticeable as audible static noise on the radio while walking it around the room. Sometimes
EMI/ RFI sources are not constant, but are temporary or surge situations that may only occur at certain times.
-. Considering and locating the source/ cause is important, but regardless of the source, since the system is shielded
against EMI and RFI, troubleshoot the system to determined if the EMI/ RFI shielding has been compromised.
One place to start is to verify that all the system panels are appropriately secured with all their factory- approved
screws.
DICOM Trouble-shooting
Three key elements in the network environment must be configured properly for DICOM communications to work:
-. Physical data path integrity; the hardware responsible for data transmission (cabling, transceivers, hubs, routers,
and switches) must be correct and functional.
-. Correct TCP/ IP configuration: The IP addressing and subnet masking for ACCUVIX system and all active devices
in the host table, including the gateway address, must be correct.
-. Correct DICOM configuration: The application entity titles and port number must be correct.
If a customer's DICOM connection quits working, it is usually because something was changed in the network
environment. Use these steps to help isolate the problem:
ACCUVIX XQ FIELD SERVICE MANUAL 161 PAGE
NOTE If the DICOM connection worked before, it is typical that either the local information systems department has
changed something in the IP environment (such as rerouting data without informing those affected) or there is a
hardware failure in the physical data path (such as a bad data cable).
1. Verify that the host table data and network configuration is still correct and that the Network Interface port is
enabled on the ACCUVIX. Refer to the External Codonics NP- 1660 Printer Field Installation Instructions
(P/ N 8055-1767- 02 and up).
2. Check if there is an obvious problem with the physical data path, such as a broken or disconnected cable. If you
cannot do it on your own, contact the appropriate customer site information or systems administration person to
verify the physical data path integrity.
3. If the physical data path is good, verify the data path to the hub, network, or the printer, as applies:
-. On the ACCUVIX system, open a Command Prompt and type in the command “ping hostname”
(where “hostname” is the name of the device, as listed in the system host table, with which the system is trying to
communicate).
-. Press Enter. If the path is complete, there will be a response that reads:
Reply from xxx. xxx. xxx. xxx: bytes= 32 time< 10ms TTL= 128
Reply from xxx. xxx. xxx. xxx: bytes= 32 time< 10ms TTL= 128
Reply from xxx. xxx. xxx. xxx: bytes= 32 time< 10ms TTL= 128
Reply from xxx. xxx. xxx. xxx: bytes= 32 time< 10ms TTL= 128
4. If the previous steps have not met with success, verify that the device in question is online and operational.
5. If there is no problem with the TCP/ IP communication, verify the IP address, application entity title, port number
and other information of host device.
6. If you have not resolved the issue at this point or if any of the previous steps yielded unexpected results, call the
Medison Bothell- based Connectivity Group at 1- 800- 874- 3499 extension 3044.
ACCUVIX XQ FIELD SERVICE MANUAL 162 PAGE

When removing the rubber plugs (Figure 15- 5, Figure 15- 16, Figure 15- 17) for panel screw access, it is important to
return each plug to the location and position from which it was removed. The plugs are not identical. It is suggested to
use a ballpoint pen to mark the bottom of each plug in some way that will help you remember where it goes when
completing reassembly of the system.
-. It is only necessary to remove the 8 outer edge screws. Note that there are different length screws. It is important
to return the each screw to its correct location when reassembling.
-. Mark the BF PCBs alignment guide/ spacer (Figure 15-21) so that when you reassemble the front end/ Probe
selector assembly, the BF PCBs guide/ spacer is installed correctly (the beveled edge of the slots that the BF PCB
edge connectors pass through face into the system/ card cage, see Figure 11-1).
-. Use the guide pins to help align the PSA when reassembling.
-. Start all mounting screws before tightening and then tighten, but don’t over- tighten, the screws in an alternating
pattern.
Helpful notes for the removal and installation of the front card cage PCBs (Figure 14-3, Figure 15-21) follow:
