System Overview
System Capabilities
Transducer Types
Available transducer types include sector array, linear array, curved array, Doppler probes,
endocavity, intraoperative, transesophageal, volume, and xMATRIX. Applications for specific
transducers are listed in
"Clinical Applications and Transducers" on page
174.
Image Acquisition and Review
You can acquire and review single images and cineloop sequences. Images and cineloop
sequences can be stored on DVDs, CDs, or USB devices, or sent over a network to an archive
server or a printer.
Stress Echo capabilities also use the ability to acquire and review image loops. Stress Echo
protocols of up to 10 stages are used to assess cardiac wall motion at various heart rates.
Peripheral devices are available for recording images and exams. You can connect a black-and-
white image printer or a color image printer. You can also connect a report printer.
Patient Data Protection
The data security feature, if enabled on your system, limits access to previously stored patient
data and images. To gain access to such data, you must first log on to the system using a
password. When you are finished using the system, you can log off manually, or you can simply
shut down the system, which logs you off automatically. The system stores a record of each
user logon.
This data protection feature can be used to help meet the requirements of the U.S. Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
For more information on protecting patient data, see
"System Security" on page

In addition to the standard features available in the system, other features are available as
purchasable options. The types of options available include clinical applications, QLAB
Advanced Quantification Software, protocols, imaging capabilities, and connectivity capabilities.
