INTRODUCTION
About the ProSound F75
The ProSound F75 is intended to be used by doctors and other qualified personnel in fracture
diagnostics and hemodynamic diagnostics.
However, this equipment is not designed to be used in ophthalmic ultrasound diagnosis, as its
sound intensity is not compliant with ophthalmic restrictions established by the FDA.
Only physicians and other qualified personnel should operate this equipment for diagnostic
purposes. Read section 1-1 of the Safety Instruction.
1)
PRECAUTIONS Concerning the Use/Management of the ProSound F75
•

certified by the manufacturer. Please contact any of our offices listed on the back cover.
•
Please conduct routine cleaning and inspection of the equipment. Refer to Chapter 5 of the
Safety Instruction for details. .
•
Ensure that the output level of the scan conforms to the required duration of diagnosis.
•
If any malfunction or abnormality is discovered during operation of the equipment, remove
the probe from the patient immediately and discontinue use. If any abnormality is observed
in the patient, provide proper care as quickly as possible. Refer to Chapter 4 of the Safety
Instructions for more information on dealing with the equipment appropriately. If the
malfunction is not listed in Chapter 4 of the Safety Instructions, contact our offices listed
on the back cover.
PRECAUTIONS for the ProSound F75 Installation
This equipment is a medical electrical equipment that intended for use in hospitals,
research facilities. The equipment should be installed in accordance with the following
guidelines.
•
Install in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Safety Instructions. .
•
Install in an environment that conforms to the operating environments indicated in section
2-2-1 of the Safety Instructions.

Preface
The measurement functions of the ProSound F75 are divided by application (clinical areas) into Abdomen, URO,

The measurement values found in ultrasonic examination are recorded and managed for each patient.
They are effective for evaluation of observation over time. In addition to selecting a measurement from the menu,
you can also transfer the results of a basic measurement to an applied measurement and compute the results of applied measurement. Also, the available measurements depend on the application, so there are ultrasonic studies that
bring together the measurement items for each application.

[Remark]
These application measurement functions are based on documents that indicate the clinical effectiveness of the
measurements concerned. Consequently, they use measurement conditions and special computation formulas.
The abovementioned documents are listed at the end of the section for each application measurement function, so
refer to the relevant documents.
[Remark]
The application measurement functions of the ProSound F75 include a function called EXAM. HISTORY for
performing a progress observation (development evaluation, treatment evaluation, and so on.).
This function records and manages measurement values and operation index values obtained during various
ultrasonic examinations, and displays the results as numerical values and/or graphs. For this reason, in order to use
this function correctly, be sure to enter the patient data using the ID screen before performing an ultrasonic
examination.
The various measurement functions of the ProSound F75 diagnostic ultrasound system are described in the following sections.

Starting measurement with a compound mode image
When pressing the + switch on hybrid modes (B/M and B/D modes), the measurement corresponding to each ultrasound image (B, M, and D) is performed.
For example, for B/M mode as in the figure below, when the + switch is pressed, the caliper mark is displayed on
the M image with a priority order (D → M → B).

measurements and to register the report.
Various application measurements can be completed without executing the application measurement through the
measurement menu by carrying out the basic measurement with the + switch and using the transfer function.
The case that was transcribed of basic measurement results that was transferred to an Uterus measurement of
a gynecologic measurement is explained as an example.
