Console Overview
Brightness
Adjusting the monitor's brightness is one of the most important
factors for proper image quality. If these controls are set
incorrectly, the Gain, TGC, Dynamic Range and even Power
Output may have to be changed more often than necessary to
compensate.
The proper setup displays a complete gray scale. The lowest
level of black should just disappear into the background and the
highest white should be bright, but not saturated.
To adjust the brightness:
1. Press the right adjustment button to increase brightness.
2. Press the left adjustment button to decrease brightness.
The amount of brightness is shown on a slide bar on the
screen.
Figure 1-9. Brightness adjustment button

this information with the system. Generally speaking, do not
change the controls once they have been set. Once set, the
display then becomes the reference for the hard copy device(s).

Crash Recovery Instructions
In case of a system crash, power cycle the system. Upon
boot-up, all images and measurements, except for generic
worksheets, are preserved in the system. When the system
returns, the system alerts you that unsaved images are still in
the system from the previous patient. Respond to the prompt to
continue the current patient. Check that all images and
measurements have been preserved in the system. Then
resume the exam.
If the system fails to respond to your commands within a typical
period of time, you need to manually reset the system. Simply
hold down the power switch to initiate a normal power down
sequence. After the system has completely shut down (power
switch amber), restart the system using the standard power-up
sequence. All images and measurements, except for generic
worksheets, are preserved in the system. When the system has
fully powered up, the system alerts you that unsaved images are
still in the system from the previous patient. Respond to the
prompt to continue the current patient. Check that all images
and measurements have been preserved in the system. If you
do not have any images on the clipboard, the patient must be
retrieved from the database. Then resume the exam.
Unexpected Power Loss
In case of unexpected power loss,
1. Check the system On/Off LED color.
2. If the LCD monitor shuts down along with the front end, then
the system has detected a power failure. It will then activate
the extended power supply (EPS). The EPS permits us to
maintain the integrity of the scanner database. The system
On/Off switch will be green in this situation.
3. Wait about 2 minutes after such an incident and then turn
the circuit breaker off (rear panel of the LOGIQ E9) or
unplug the scanner.
4. Give the system approximately one minutes. The systme
On/Off switch should be dark.
5. Turn on the LOGIQ E9 by either turning on the circuit
breaker or plugging in the scanner.
6. Turn on the scanner by pressing the system On/Off switch.
NOTE:
The LOGIQ E9 should be plugged into the regular power
outlet and not the emergency power outlet.

To connect a probe:
1. Place the probe's carrying case on a stable surface and
open the case.
2. Carefully remove the probe and unwrap the probe cord.
3. DO NOT allow the probe head to hang free. Impact to the
probe head could result in irreparable damage. Use the
integrated cable management hook to wrap the cord.
Inspect the probe before and after each use for damage or
degradation to the housing, strain relief, lens, seal and
connector. DO NOT use a transducer which appears
damaged until functional and safe performance is verified. A
thorough inspection should be conducted during the
cleaning process.
4. Turn the connector locking handle to the left.
5. Align the connector with the probe port and carefully push
into place.
Before inserting the 3CRF, S1-5, S4-10, or 6Tc probe
connector into the probe port, inspect the probe connector
pin. If the pin is bent, do not use the probe until it has been
inspected and repaired/replaced by a GE Service
Representative.
6. Turn the connector locking handle to the right to secure the
probe connector.
7. Carefully position the probe cord so it is free to move, yet
not dragging on the floor.
CAUTION

B-Mode Controls
Description/
Benefit
Depth
Yes
Depth controls the distance over which the B-Mode images anatomy.
To visualize deeper structures, increase the depth. If there is a large
part of the display which is unused at the bottom, decrease the
depth.
Gain
No
B-Mode Gain increases or decreases the amount of echo
information displayed in an image. It may have the effect of
brightening or darkening the image if sufficient echo information is
generated.
Focus
Yes
Increases the number of focal zones or moves the focal zone(s) so
that you can tighten up the beam for a specific area. A graphic caret
corresponding to the focal zone position(s) appears on the right
edge of the image.
Auto Optimize
No
Auto Optimize (Auto) lets you optimize the image based upon a the
actual B Mode image data (Auto Tissue Optimize, ATO). The preset
levels (Low, Medium, and High) allow you to pick a preference for
the contrast enhancement in the resulting image. Low does the least
amount of contrast enhancement, high does the most.
Auto is available in single or multi image, on live, frozen or CINE
images (in B-Mode only), and while in zoom, in Color Flow Mode,
and in Spectral Doppler.
Auto in Color Flow Mode automatically adjusts the overall color gain.
If you find that the gain adjustment that is automatically performed
consistently results in more or less gain than you expect, then the
Auto Optimize Adjustment allows you to adjust the result of the Auto
feature (-5 to 5 range) so that the result more consistently matches
your expectation.
Auto in PW Doppler Mode optimizes the spectral data. Auto adjusts
the Velocity Scale (live imaging only), baseline shift, dynamic range,
and invert (if preset). Upon deactivation, the spectrum is still
optimized.

SRI-HD
No
SRI-HD (Speckle Reduction Imaging High Definition) is an adaptive
algorithm to reduce the unwanted effects of speckle in the
ultrasound image. Image speckle usually appears as a grainy
texture in otherwise uniform areas of tissue. Its appearance is
related to image system characteristics, rather than tissue
characteristics, so that changes in system settings, such as probe
type, frequency, depth, and others, can cange the appearance of the
speckle. Too much speckle can impair image quality and make it
difficult to see the desired detail in the image. Likewise, too much
filtering of speckle can mask or obscure desired image detail. Extra
care must be taken to select the optimal SRI-HD level. SRI-HD is
available in B-Mode imaging and may be used with any transducer
or clinical application when image speckle appears to interfere with
the desired image detail.
CrossXBeam
No
CrossXBeam is the process of combining three or more frames from
different steering angles into a single frame. CrossXBeam is
available on Convex and Linear probes.
CrossXBeam combines multiple co-planar images from different
view angles into a single image at real-time frame rates, using
bi-cubic interpolation.
Coded Harmonic
Imaging (CHI)
Yes
Harmonic imaging utilizes Digitally Encoded Ultrasound (DEU).
Coded Harmonics enhances near field resolution for improved small
parts imaging as well as far field penetration.
Frequency
Yes
Multi Frequency mode lets you downshift to the probe's next lower
frequency or shift up to a higher frequency.
Steer
Yes
You can slant the B-Mode or Color Flow linear image left or right to
get more information without moving the probe. The angle steer
function only applies to linear probes.
Virtual Convex
Yes
On Linear and Sector probes, Virtual Convex provides a larger field
of view in the far field. Virtual Convex is always active with Sector
probes.
TGC
No
TGC amplifies returning signals to correct for the attenuation caused
by tissues at increasing depths. TGC slide pots are spaced
proportionately to the depth. The area each pot amplifies varies as
well. A TGC curve may appear on the display (if preset), matching
the controls that you have set (except during zoom). You can choose
to deactivate the TGC curve on the image.
Width
Yes
You can widen or narrow the size of the sector angle to maximize the
image's region of interest (ROI).
Tilt
Yes
You can steer the sector angle to get more information without
moving the probe while in B-Mode, M-Mode, Doppler Mode, and
Color Flow Mode. Tilt is not available on Linear probes.

Colorize is the colorization of a conventional B-Mode image or
Doppler Spectrum to enhance the user's ability to discern B, M, and
Doppler Mode intensity valuations. Colorize is NOT a Doppler Mode.
NOTE: You can colorize realtime or CINE images or Timeline CINE,
but not DVR images.
Colorizes the gray scale image to enhance the eye's discrimination
capability. Spectrum Colorize colorizes the spectrum as a function of
power using the inverse of the Colorize map for the signal intensity in
each Doppler line. Colorize enhances the visibility of the spectrum's
characteristics and enhances your ability to identify spectral
broadening and the edge contours of the spectrum used to define
the peak frequency/velocity.
The gray bar displays while Colorize is activated.

Clinical Measurement Accuracy
Basic Measurements
The following information is intended to provide guidance to the
user in determining the amount of variation or measurement
error that should be considered when performing clinical
measurements with this equipment. Error can be contributed by
equipment limitations and improper user technique. Be sure to
follow all measurement instructions and develop uniform
measurement techniques among all users to minimize the
potential operator error. Also, in order to detect possible
equipment malfunctions that could affect measurement
accuracy, a quality assurance (QA) plan should be established
for the equipment that includes routine accuracy checks with
tissue mimicking phantoms.
Please be advised that all distance and Doppler related
measurements through tissue are dependent upon the
propagation velocity of sound within the tissue. The propagation
velocity usually varies with the type of tissue, but an average
velocity for soft tissue is assumed. This equipment is designed
for, and the accuracy statements listed on are based on, an
assumed average velocity of 1540 m/s. The percent accuracy
when stated applies to the measurement obtained (not the full
scale range). Where the accuracy is stated as a percent with a
fixed value, the expected inaccuracy is the greater of the two.

Probe Overview
Probe handling and infection control
This information is intended to increase user awareness of the
risks of disease transmission associated with using this
equipment and provide guidance in making decisions directly
affecting the safety of the patient as well as the equipment user.
Diagnostic ultrasound systems utilize ultrasound energy that
must be coupled to the patient by direct physical contact.
Depending on the type of examination, this contact occurs with a
variety of tissues ranging from intact skin in a routine exam to
recirculating blood in a surgical procedure. The level of risk of
infection varies greatly with the type of contact.
One of the most effective ways to prevent transmission between
patients is with single use or disposable devices. However,
ultrasound transducers are complex and expensive devices that
must be reused between patients. It is very important, therefore,
to minimize the risk of disease transmission by using barriers
and through proper processing between patients.
CAUTION
Risk of Infection. ALWAYS clean and disinfect the probe
between patients to the level appropriate for the type of
examination and use FDA-cleared probe sheaths where
appropriate.
CAUTION
Adequate cleaning and disinfection are necessary to prevent
disease transmission. It is the responsibility of the equipment
user to verify and maintain the effectiveness of the infection
control procedures in use. Always use sterile, legally marketed
probe sheaths for intra-cavitary and intra-operative procedures.
For neurological intra-operative procedures, use of a legally
marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheath is REQUIRED.
Probes for neuro surgical use must not be sterilized with liquid
chemical sterilants because of the possibility of neuro toxic
residues remaining on the probe.
CAUTION
Devices containing latex may cause severe allergic reaction in
latex sensitive individuals. Refer to FDA's March 29, 1991
Medical Alert on latex products.

Endocavitary Probe Handling Precautions
If the sterilization solution comes out of the endocavitary probe,
please follow the cautions below.
CAUTION
Sterilant Exposure to Patient (e.g., Cidex)—Contact with a
sterilant to the patient’s skin or mucous membrane may cause
an inflammation. If this happens, refer to the sterilant’s
instruction manual.
Sterilant Exposure from Probe Handle to Patient (e.g.,
Cidex)—DO NOT allow the sterilant to contact the patient.
Only immerse the probe to its specified level. Ensure that no
solution has entered the probe’s handle before scanning the
patient. If sterilant comes into contact with the patient, refer the
the sterilant’s instruction manual.
Sterilant Exposure from Probe Connector to Patient (e.g.,
Cidex)—DO NOT allow the sterilant to contact the patient.
Only immerse the probe to its specified level. Ensure that no
solution has entered the probe’s connector before scanning the

Probe Overview
Disinfecting probes (continued)
CAUTION
In order for liquid chemical germicides to be effective, all visible
residue must be removed during the cleaning process.
Thoroughly clean the probe, as described earlier before
attempting disinfection.
You MUST disconnect the probe from the LOGIQ E9 prior to
cleaning/disinfecting the probe. Failure to do so could damage
the system.
DO NOT soak probes in liquid chemical germicide for longer
than is stated by the germicide instructions for use. Extended
soaking may cause probe damage and early failure of the
enclosure, resulting in possible electric shock hazard.
1. Prepare the germicide solution according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to follow all precautions
for storage, use and disposal.
2. Place the cleaned and dried probe in contact with the
germicide for the time specified by the germicide
manufacturer. High-level disinfection is recommended for
surface probes and is required for endocavitary and
intraoperative probes (follow the germicide manufacturer's
recommended time).
CAUTION
Probes for neuro surgical intra-operative use must NOT be
sterilized with liquid chemical sterilants because of the
possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the probe.
Neurological procedures must be done with the use of
legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheaths.
3. After removing from the germicide, rinse the probe following
the germicide manufacturer's rinsing instructions. Flush all
visible germicide residue from the probe and allow to air dry.

Biopsy Special Concerns
WARNING
Do not freeze the image during a biopsy procedure. The image
must be live to avoid a positioning error.
Biopsy guidezones are intended to assist the user in
determining optimal probe placement and approximate the
needle path. However, actual needle movement is likely to
deviate from the guideline. Always monitor the relative
positions of the biopsy needle and the subject mass during the
procedure.
CAUTION
The use of biopsy devices and accessories that have not been
evaluated for use with this equipment may not be compatible
and could result in injury.
CAUTION
The invasive nature of biopsy procedures requires proper
preparation and technique to control infection and disease
transmission. Equipment must be cleaned as appropriate for
the procedure prior to use.
CAUTION
•
Follow the probe cleaning and disinfection procedures and
precautions to properly prepare the probe.
•
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the cleaning of
biopsy devices and accessories.
•
Use protective barriers such as gloves and probe sheaths.
•
After use, follow proper procedures for decontamination,
cleaning, and waste disposal.
Improper cleaning methods and the use of certain cleaning and
disinfecting agents can cause damage to the plastic
components that will degrade imaging performance or increase
the risk of electric shock.

Displaying the Guidezone
Activate the Biopsy Kit by selecting it from the B-Mode Touch
Panel.
The available biopsy options appear when Biopsy Kit is
selected. There are fixed and adjustable angle biopsy kits and
plastic/disposable and reusable biopsy guides available with the
LOGIQ E9 depending on the probe. Select the desired biopsy
kit.
WARNING
Biopsy procedures must only be performed on live images.
DANGER
Failure to match the guidezone displayed to the guide may
cause the needle to track a path outside the zone.
It is extremely important that when using the adjustable angle
biopsy guides, the angle displayed on the screen matches the
angle set on the guide, otherwise the needle will not follow the
displayed guidezone which could result in repeated biopsies or
patient injury.
CAUTION

Surgery/Intra-operative Use
Preparing the transducer for intra-operative use follows the
same sterile procedure as for biopsy use except that no biopsy
attachments are used. Sterile gel is applied to the transducer
face and a sterile sheath completely covers the transducer and
cable which has first undergone a thorough cleaning and
high-level disinfection.
CAUTION
For surgery/intra-operative procedures, a sterile environment is
required. Therefore, both the operator and probe needs to be
sterile.

Data Backup
EZBackup and EZMove
EZBackup or EZMove allows you to manage hard disk space
(move images off the hard drive) while maintaining the patient
database on the scanner, as well as to back up the patient
database and images.
HINTS
PLEASE READ THIS
Ensure that you have established a data management protocol
for your office/institution. You MUST manage the backup media
by keeping a log and by creating a media filing system.
For example, if you need to back up 500 MB/day, or 2.5 GB/
week, then you need to back up 5 CDs/week, or ~250CDs/
year.
Generally speaking, you should back up the system when you
have 10 GB of images to back up.
You should assign the person who is in charge of performing
the backups. Backups will vary by the volume of your work. You
need to track how long it takes your office/institution to get to
10 GB, and set the back-up parameters accordingly.
Your office/institution needs to determine your backup strategy,
for instance, backup weekly and move monthly. It should be an
easy strategy to perform and to remember. And follow this
same strategy/schedule consistently.
It’s also useful to keep your more recent information on the
hard drive since it’s easier to recall that way.
GE Healthcare IS NOT responsible for lost data if you do not
follow suggested back-up procedures. GE Healthcare WILL
NOT aid in the recovery of lost data.

CAUTION
DO NOT use DVD-RAM for EZBackup and EZMove.
Use a CD-R, DVD-R, or USB Hard Drive for EZBackup and
EZMove.
CAUTION
If you use EZBackup or EZMove as a “true” patient archive,
you must maintain a separate backup of the patient database
(Patient Archive and Report Archive). If for any reason the
Local Archive - Int HD gets corrupted or the base system
software has to be reloaded, then the patient archive is the
ONLY way to rebuild the EZBackup and EZMove patient
archive.
CAUTION
After copying the image file to the media, EZMove deletes the
image file from the Local HD.
EZBackup does not back up the exams which were previously
backed up once by EZBackup or Export. If you want to back up
those exams by EZBackup again, select “Full Backup Option”
on the EZBackup wizard. Even when “Full backup” is selected,
the system only backs up the exams within the range specified
in the Utility -> System -> Backup/Restore -> Backup Files
Older Than in Days preset.
CAUTION
Disconnect the USB HDD when performing EZMove on the
system.
•
DO NOT use the internal hard drive for long-term image
storage. Daily backup is recommended. External storage
media is recommended for image archive.

encounters an image that is greater than the capacity of the
media, it skips the oversized image.
NOTE:
EZBackup/EZMove does not store images to media in
sequential order. Instead it maximizes the most amount of
images per media.

Safety Precautions
Mechanical hazards
The use of damaged probes or improper use and manipulation
of intracavity probes can result in injury or increased risk of
infection. Inspect probes often for sharp, pointed, or rough
surface damage that could cause injury or tear protective
barriers. Never use excessive force when manipulating
intracavity probes. Become familiar with all instructions and
precautions provided with special purpose probes.
The use of damaged probes can result in injury or increased risk
of infection. Inspect probes often for sharp, pointed, or rough
surface damage that could cause injury or tear protective
barriers. Become familiar with all instructions and precautions
provided with special purpose probes.
Electrical
Hazard
A damaged probe can also increase the risk of electric shock if
conductive solutions come in contact with internal live parts.
Inspect probes often for cracks or openings in the housing and
holes in and around the acoustic lens or other damage that
could allow liquid entry. Become familiar with the probe's use
and care precautions outlined in Probes and Biopsy.
CAUTION
Ultrasound transducers are sensitive instruments which can
easily be damaged by rough handling. Take extra care not to
drop transducers and avoid contact with sharp or abrasive
surfaces. A damaged housing, lens or cable can result in
patient injury or serious impairment or operation.
CAUTION

Safety
Scanner and electrosurgical units
CAUTION
This equipment provides no special means of protection from
high frequency (HF) burns that may result from using an
electrosurgical unit (ESU). To reduce the risk of HF burns,
avoid contact between the patient and ultrasound transducer
while operating the ESU. Where contact cannot be avoided, as
in the case of TEE monitoring during surgery, make sure the
transducer is not located between the ESU active and
dispersive electrodes and keep the ESU cables away from the
transducer cable.
CAUTION
Ultrasound can produce harmful effects in tissue and
potentially result in patient injury. Always minimize exposure
time and keep ultrasound levels low when there is no medical
benefit. Use the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably
Achievable), increasing output only when needed to obtain
diagnostic image quality. Observe the acoustic output display
and be familiar with all controls affecting the output level. See
the Bioeffects section of the Acoustic Output chapter in the
Advanced Reference Manual for more information.
ALARA
Training
It is recommended that all users receive proper training in
applications before performing them in a clinical setting. Please
contact the local GE representative for training assistance.
ALARA training is provided by GE Application Specialists. The
ALARA education program for the clinical end-user covers basic
ultrasound principles, possible biological effects, the derivation
and meaning of the indices, ALARA principles, and examples of
specific applications of the ALARA principle.

Acoustic Output
Located on the upper right section of the system display monitor,
the acoustic output display provides the operator with real-time
indication of acoustic levels being generated by the system. See
the Acoustic Output chapter in the Advanced Reference Manual
for more information. This display is based on NEMA/AIUM
Standards for Real-time Display of Thermal and Mechanic
Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment.
Acoustic Output Display Specifications
The display consists of three parts: Thermal Index (TI),
Mechanical Index (MI), and a relative Acoustic Output (AO)
value. Although not part of the NEMA/AIUM standard, the AO
value informs the user of where the system is operating within
the range of available output.
The TI and MI are displayed at all times. The TI display starts at
a value of 0.0 and increments in steps of 0.1 The MI display
values between 0 and 0.4 increment in steps of 0.01 and for
values greater than 0.4, increments in steps of 0.1.
Thermal Index
Depending on the examination and type of tissue involved, the
TI parameter will be one of three types:
4-36
•
Soft Tissue Thermal Index (TIS). Used when imaging soft
tissue only, it provides an estimate of potential temperature
increase in soft tissue.
•
Bone Thermal Index (TIB). Used when bone is near the
focus of the image as in the third trimester OB examination,
it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in
the bone or adjacent soft tissue.
•
Cranial Bone Thermal Index (TIC). Used when bone is
near the skin surface as in transcranial examination, it
provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in
the bone or adjacent soft tissue.
LOGIQ E9 – User Guide
Direction 5389561-100 English Rev. 1
Safety Precautions
Acoustic Output Display Specifications (continued)
Mechanical Index
MI recognizes the importance of non-thermal processes,
cavitation in particular, and the Index is an attempt to indicate
the probability that they might occur within the tissue.
Changing the Thermal Index Type
You can select the displayed TI type on Utility -> Imaging ->
B-Mode. This preset is application dependent so each
application could specify a different TI type.
Display precision is ±0.1 and accuracy is ±50%. Accuracy of the
power output displayed value on the Touch Panel is ±10%.
Controls Affecting Acoustic Output
The potential for producing mechanical bioeffects (MI) or
thermal bioeffects (TI) can be influenced by certain controls.
Direct. The Acoustic Output control has the most significant
effect on Acoustic Output.
Indirect. Indirect effects may occur when adjusting controls.
Controls that can influence MI and TI are detailed under the
Bioeffects portion of each control in the Optimizing the Image
chapter.
Always observe the Acoustic Output display for possible effects.

Hazard
Raise the Acoustic Output only after attempting image
optimization with controls that have no effect on Acoustic
Output, such as Gain and TGC.
Refer to the sections in Chapter 5 for a complete discussion of
each control.
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.
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.
Acoustic Output Default Levels
In order to assure that an exam does not start at a high output
level, the LOGIQ E9 initiates 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.
To modify acoustic output, adjust the Power Output level on the
Touch Panel.
