Introduction
About the F31
The F31 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 manual.
1) PRECAUTIONS Concerning the Use/Management of the F31
• Do not disassemble, repair or remodel this equipment or optional features without our
consent.
NOTE: Disassemble is removing the parts or options from the equipment using
tools.
NOTE: Remodel is installing or connecting the unspecified parts or equipment,

including replacement of power cord.
• Assemble of the equipment or optional accessories shall be performed by our third party
certified. Please contact one of our offices listed on back cover.
NOTE: Assemble is installing and connecting the parts or optional accessories in
the main equipment using tools.
• Transporting this equipment (via automobile/ship) shall be performed by a third party

certified by the manufacturer. Please contact one of our offices listed on 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 one of our offices
listed on back cover.
2) PRECAURIONS for the F31 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.
• Install in an environment that ensures electromagnetic compatibility, in accordance with
section 1-2-6 of the Safety Instructions, "Precautions Concerning the Maintenance of
Electromagnetic Compatibility," and Item 1-3, "Guidelines for Electromagnetic
compatibility."

The optional EU-9143 and SOP-F31-4 are required.

Acquires volume data as the scanner is slid and displays it as a 3D image.
Refer to the Safety Instruction manual for compatible probes.
The following formats can be switched.
• 1 View display: Displays just one enlarged image

• 2 Views display: Displays a combination of the 3D image and one of the cross-sectional
images
• 4 Views display: Displays the 3D image and all three of the perpendicular cross-section
images
• Multi Slice Imaging: Displays multiple slices of the 3D image at the same time
Images can be adjusted as follows.
• Rotating and moving volume data

Images can be viewed from any direction.
• Zooming, switching rendering modes, and adjusting image quality
By rotating or moving the volume data, each of the three perpendicular cross-sectional
image can also be displayed and zoomed in/out and the image quality can be adjusted.
• Deleting unwanted artifacts
Unnecessary areas of a 3D image can be traced and deleted.
• Animation playback and rotation of volume data for 3D images
During the freeze mode, it facilitates object observation, such as of the fetal face
• Cutting the 3D image with any section of the rectangular box
The slicing area can be adjusted by translating the cross-section.
