1 350015200_05
1.1 Service Characteristics

1.1.1 Identifying the Boards

MyLab 9 Family Families design is based on the use of modular, functionally isolated
printed circuit boards (PCBs) and subassemblies known as Field Replaceable Unit.
This modularization greatly simplifies on-site service and repair. In most cases, on-
site maintenance is accomplished by removing and replacing the PCBs or
subassemblies.
Most boards of MyLab 9 Family Families are identified:

• By its Description and reference, which is always indicated on the label.


• By the Serial Number (SN), indicated on the label.
• By the Configuration Index (CI), indicated by two decimal figures on the label.
The Configuration Index represents the HW level of the board.
The Configuration Index is loaded in specific components mounted on each
board.

In the boards not equipped with flap this information is on labels affixed on the
printed circuit.

1.1.2 Fuses

WARNING
Do not replace the system fuses with types different from those specified.

2 350015200_05
1.2 Equipment

In this section the required tools to access the system internal parts are listed
together with the tools to activate the Service procedures and to perform a functional
test of the unit.

1.2.1 Disassembling Equipment


The disassembling procedures are described in detail in Chapter 3 UNIT
DISASSEMBLY, page 12.

Tool Dimension
Dynamometric Phillips electric screwdriver Large, medium and
small tips
Short Philips screwdriver Small tip
Slotted screwdriver Large and small tips
Box wrench
Allen screwdriver
Socket Wrench
Tweezer
Point pliers Small tip
The use of an electric screwdriver allows the access time to be minimized. Low
torques are recommended.

1.2.2 Service Procedures


USB Service key
P/N 140009500

The service procedures that require an interaction with the unit, can be activated
through the service key only. The service key must be inserted in one of the cart USB
ports (not at the control panel).

The key must be inserted before switching on the unit, to be able to access to the
several service menus. If the procedure is not carried out properly, the system
doesn’t allow the access to the menu.

This symbol is used in this manual to indicate all the procedures that require
the use of the service key.

3 350015200_05
1.2.3 USB Medium
To perform a complete check of the unit, it is suggested to always have an USB
medium. These tools allow the service technician to test the functioning of the USB
ports.
USB medium is also required to export Log files and perform a software upgrade.
For the software upgrade a 16GB USB 3.0 key is recommended to increase the
speed. This key must be connected in one of the cart USB ports (not at the control
panel).

1.2.4 Safety Test Equipment


The safety test must be performed whenever the system composition has been
changed, either by adding a new peripheral or by having replaced parts. Refer to
chapter 8, SAFETY TEST page 104 in this manual for detailed information on when
to perform the tests and how to carry it out.

4 350015200_05
1.3 Warnings and Precautions

WARNINGS

It is forbidden to edit or delete files that belong to the software package. Doing so
may compromise the system safety.

PRECAUTIONS

A series of precautions that must be observed each time you perform an operation
on the system are emphasized below:

• The equipment must always be switched off before carrying out any service
operation. In the same way, all the probes and peripherals (for example
external monitor, printer, and video-recorder) must also be disconnected.
• Power off the equipment prior to perform any disassembling operation.
• When the unit is in Standby mode (main switch on, but unit off), the AUX
connectors are supplied with a voltage.
• An electrostatic discharge occurring through the contact with the operator, can
irreparably damage the electronic components on system boards that are
sensitive to electro-static discharges: it is therefore recommended that
precautions to prevent these discharges are taken each time a board has to
be removed/installed. In operational terms, this means:
o The machine must rest on an electro-static mat connected to earth.
o The service technician must also be connected to the same earth each
time he removes or installs the parts.
o The boards and components must always be moved in their special
electro-static containers.
o For the service on the field, use the specific kits including the anti-static
mat.
o The chapter entitled “system Parts List” details the sub-assemblies that
are to be considered sensitive to electro-static discharges (ESD).

When the board is ESD sensitive, you can find this symbol on the PCB master.

2 BLOCK DIAGRAMS
This chapter contains the block diagram descriptions for each board. The general
Block Diagram shows the relationships of each board having a unique function within
the overall unit.
In the block diagrams, the functions are gathered to permit an easy comprehension
of the block functioning, which indicates the correlative electronic boards.
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the MyLab 9 Family unit.

6 350015200_05
7 350015200_05
2.1 General Block Diagram
The probes are connected to the INPUT PROBE BOARD (IPB).
The board receives the HV pulses from the DIGITAL FRONT END BOARD (DFB).
Each DFB manages different channels and according the probe and preset selected,
they create the high voltage pulses necessary to the probe to create the US echo.
The US echo arriving from the probes, go to the Input Probe board that, without any
elaboration, sends the data to the two Digital Front End
The Input Probe Board, send to the DIGITAL PROCESSING BOARD (DPB) the
information about the probes connected to the unit.
In the two DFB the US echo pass through amplifiers and then are converted from
analogic to digital data. Then they go to the internal FPGAs for the image
reconstruction process.
The US data from the second DFB are sent to the first, where are mixed with the
internal ones. After this step the whole data are sent to the DPB.
The DPB receive all the US data and proceed with all the post processing
elaborations. As well from the US data creates the CFM and Doppler image (CW and
PW). The board has one interface to the ECG ASSY, to receive the ECG signal to be
displayed with the US image. The data go to the HOST PROCESSING MODULE
(HPM).
The DPB creates all the internal clocks necessary for the internal boards.
The DPB has as well one RF OUT, for the US unfiltered data.
The HPM receives the data and mix them to the overlay, then send all to the external
monitor.
It has a direct connection (by USB) to the QWERTY keyboard and touchscreen
group, to receive all the commands selected by the user and set the touch panel
according the modality enabled. As well send to the keyboard group all the audio
signals. In board there is an amplifier who drives the unit’s speakers.
In the Host Processing board, there is also the internal PC module, who manages the
internal HDDs (there are two, one SSD), network card, ram memories and USB
plugs. The PC module is able to receive from HDD all the SW necessary to the
various boards and, using one dedicated communication channel, send it to the
Digital Processing Board. This board sends the SW to the two Digital Front End, the
Input Probe and to the Switching Power Board.
The power supply section is composed by one insulation transformer for the auxiliary
plugs, one AC/DC module (who has inside one dedicated insulation transformer) that
receives the line voltage and then creates a 12Vdc. The 12Vdc is sent to the
SWITCHING POWER BOARD (SPB). This board sends the 12Vdc to the DPB, HPM;
and to the keyboard group. The SPB also creates different voltages for the DFB. The
Input Probe board is instead supplied by the DPB by one dedicated connection
(CBB).
The SPB manages the fans rack.
The Main Bus Board is a board on which are connected some of the internal boards
of the unit. It does not have active components on board but only connectors.

8 350015200_05
2.2 Input Probe Board (IPB)

The Input Probe board is the interface among the probes and the rest of the unit.
On board are assembled four connectors for electronic probes.
The board doesn’t perform any elaboration on the US data from the probes and on
the HV pulses, but simply passes/receives them from/to the two DFB.
In fact the HV pulses are already received at the high voltage level from the Digital
Front End and are directly sent to the right connector. This due to some relays which
proceed with the operation. The DPB controls these operations.
The information about the probe connected is sent to the DPB. From this board the
IPB receives all the settings and the information about the probe to enable.

2.3 Digital Front End Board (DFB)

The DFB is the responsible for the HV pulse generation and for the focalization of the
signals from the probes. In the unit there are two DFBs. No difference among them:
every board can be seated in every DFB position without trouble.
From the DPB board they receive all the focalization data and, according the probe
and the preset selected, they generate the high voltage pulses, starting from the low
signal pulse (also generated inside the DFB). The generated HV depends on the
image mode and is different for B mode and Doppler/CFM mode.
To perform this operation, the Power Supply Group sends in parallel to all the DFB
the high voltage to generate the pulses. When ready they are sent to the IPB and
then to the probe.
Every Digital Front End manages half portion of the image according the image
below:

The data from the probes directly returns to the Digital Front End. They are filtered
and amplified according the gain selected, then converted from analog to digital,
elaborated and sent out for the next steps.
The DFB 2 board does not send the data directly to the DPB, but the board number
two send the data to the number one who sum the two signals and send out the
result to the DPB
The position inside the MBB indicates if the board is the number one or two.
The sequence is IPB, DFB2 and DFB1.

9 350015200_05
2.4 Digital Processing Board (DPB)

The DPB receives the US data (indicated as Data in the block diagram) from the DFB
1: The data receives different elaborations in case of BW image (2D and M-Mode) or
CFM, PW and CW.
The Data are filtered, demodulated and elaborated (also according some parameters
and filters set by the user) in the first internal block. After this step some post
processing elaborations are applied.
The internal Doppler demodulation circuit receive the elaborated Data from the first
block and generates the data that sent to the CFM and the PW Doppler elaboration
group create the CFM and PW Doppler image.
For CW Doppler, the CW elaboration group elaborates the Data arrived from the
DFB, before the elaboration done in the first block and creates the CW image.
All the US data (BW, CFM…) go to the PCiex group who send out them to the
(Video) Host Processing Module, where is created the whole US image and is added
the overlay. After, all is sent to the monitor.
On board, starting from two different clock generators, are created all the clocks
necessary for all the unit.
For the management of all the functions on board, there different DSPs in the control
group. This group communicates with the Digital Front End boards, the Input probe
(motor signals, temperature controls.), receive and send data with Host Processing
Board.
The board controls the Switching Power Board, part of the power supply group.
Correct generation of voltages are read from Switching Power Board on all the
boards in the rack, including the board itself. The board also generates all the supply
voltages for the IPB and sends them via the MBB.

2.5 Host Processing Module (HPM)

The Host Processing Module is the interface between its internal PC group and the
rest of the unit.
This module receives from the DPB the US data (BW, CFM…). They are sent to the
video card on which are mixed to the overlay created to the PC part assembled on
board. The whole video frame is sent to the monitor.
At the start-up the DPB board checks the HW composition of the system and checks
if all the boards are connected. If all is ok every board starts to program itself using
the firmware present in some internal flash memories present in all the boards
The HPM, in case the firmware is not aligned with the main SW, acquire the
necessary firmware from the PC group that reads the SW present inside the HDD
and send it to the boards to upgrade, using internal serial buses.
The same channel is used for all the communications and checks during the live
activity or to upgrade the boards in case of new SW installation.
The PC group manages all the interfaces (USB, network, Wi-Fi) and the
communication with the keyboard group. It manages the display touch panel and set
it according the user selections. The LAN insulation transformer and connector are
located on this board as well.
The amplifier for the speakers, that are located in the upper group, is present on
board.
The amplified signal is sent to the keyboard group and from there to the speakers.
10 350015200_05
2.6 Main Keyboard

The group communicates with the PC module assembled in the HPM board by
dedicated USB cables, connected to 2 different HUB on the keyboard, to manage
several several USB resources: QWERTY, Touch Screen, Mouse, PIC keyboard, 2
user USB’;s, DVD and secondary display.
It receives all the data selected by the user and communicate with the Host
processing board in order to set the unit according the user’s selections.
On Board there are 2 USB hubs that manages the USB plugs present in the
keyboard group. The display link circuit manages the display touch panel and
communicates with the PC group.
On the keyboard group the connector is present on which is connected the supply
cable for the main monitor. The monitor is suppled at 12Vdc.

2.7 Power Supply Group

The group is composed by a board on which are assembled the auxiliary plugs, the
fuses holders and the insulation transformer who supply the auxiliary plugs. From this
group the line voltage is sent to the AC/DC module who converts the line voltage in a
12Vdc.
This voltage goes to the Switching Power Board (SPB) who is creating the different
voltages for the DFB (high voltage, +5…)
The SPB sends the 12 Vdc to the DPB, HPM, key board group.
Inside every board there is a circuit who creates the different voltages necessary for
the boards. The DPB supplies as well the IPB.

2.8 Main Bus Board (MBB)

The board is simply a passive board on which are connected some of the unit’s
boards. The boards connected are the two DFB, the DPB, the HPM and the SPB.

2.9 ECG ASSY

The board acquires the ECG signal from the patient and elaborates it.
The signal is amplified, filtered converted and elaborated: Then is sent to the DPB, in
order to add it to the US data and show it on the main monitor.
All the ECG part is optical insulated from the rest of the unit.
The Physio input is not used, the patient has to be connected to the ECG input plug
using the dedicated Esaote cable

5.3 Cleanliness of product

In accordance to international standard ISO 13485 2016 3rd edition, products must be
delivered clean after installation or maintenance.
Please consider that your customer has purchased an excellent High-Quality
Ultrasound system with a modern design. The visual impression of the system is
equally important to your customer’s satisfaction
For that reason, the system must be delivered clean when installing a new system or
after performing maintenance to a system.

After system installation or maintenance use a mild cleaner to:


• Clean any fingerprints off the LCD and Touch Screen
• Clean any fingerprints off the system, trolley or roll stand.
• Clean any fingerprints off the probes

Clean the area of the system, dispose of empty cartons or other packing material.

For more information on cleaning and maintenance refer to:


User manual: GETTING STARTED, section Maintenance
PROBES CONSUMABLES

5.4 Trouble shooting

This chapter describes the trouble shooting and indicates possible issues and
solutions

5.4.1 DFB position

The unit contains 2 identical Digital Front-end Boards (DFB 1 and DFB 2) and the
position on these boards can be interchanged. The function depends on the position.
For test purpose DFB 2 can be removed and the unit will run. Obviously no Ultrasound
data will be present in the area where this board is active.
By switching the boards in position 1, possibly a defective board can be determined.

Placing the DFB in position 2 only, will lock the unit!

45 350015200_05
5.4.2 Hard Ware issues

This chapter describes possible Hardware issues and the possible cause and action.

1) The unit does not switch on.


a. Check the internal cables, especially the cables between ASB board and
the AC/DC converter.
b. Replace the ASB board and if needed the AC/DC converter.
c. If the problem remains replace the SPB board

2) Unit does not start, but power LED is lit (Amber).


a. Can be an issue on SPB or HPB board

3) Application software does not boot due to wrong board configuration


a. In the log file, the HW configuration is indicated with the following starting
block:

Hardware configuration
I-Button: fd-1739e3e9-01
EnHwCode:0x1 Equipment HwCode: 0x7

If in this block the Equipment HwCode is not 0x7 as expected, there may
be connection problems of the MKB board (upper group) with the rack,
so check the related cables and connections, see picture below:

Then, immediately after this block of the log, the list of the system slots is
provided.

46 350015200_05
For a correct configuration, all slots must have Error Code 0x0, like in the
following example:

Slot:[0]
Error Code:[0x0]
….
Slot:[1]
Error Code:[0x0]
….
….
….
….
Slot:[8]
Error Code:[0x0]
….
If Error Code is not 0x0, there is a problem with the corresponding board.

Slot 0 DPB
Slot 1 DFB1
Slot 2 DFB2
Slot 3 SPARE
Slot 4 Keyboard
Slot 5 Power Supply
Slot 6 Input Probe Board
Slot 7 Main Bus Board
Slot 8 (Video) Host Processing Module

Try to repositioning the boards in their slots, because there may be


contact problems.

4) Application software crashes at start up with Algol device not found problem
a. An error log is created (file .err) with the text string “Algol device not
found”
Could be an issue on the DPB board
b. Try to reposition the DPB board and the PC module on the HPM board

5) The probe connector do not switch


a. There may be a connection problem between IPB board and DPB board.
b. Reposition the CBB board, the physical bridge board that joins IPB with
DPB.

6) Probes are not recognized on one or more connectors


a. Check the physical status of the probe connector pins on IPB board,
especially if this happens only on one of the four available connectors.
b. If it happens on all four connectors, then try repositioning the CBB board.
c. It still no result, try substituting IPB board and then DPB board.

47 350015200_05
7) Noisy channels in ultrasound image

a. Most likely the DFB board. Try to place the boards one by one in
position 1 to determine the defective board.
b. In a linear probe image like the one depicted above, where the ESAOTE
red logo is on the upper-left corner, the first half on the left would be
for DFB1, the second half on the right would be for DFB2; in the specific
case of the image above, DFB2 would be the board to be substituted

8) Missing channels in Ultrasound image


a. probe with missing/broken/damaged elements
b. IPB board, relays not switching properly
c. IPB board, probe connectors pins broken/damaged
d. DFB boards, not working properly in TX/RX
For case a), try to substitute the probe with a good working probe (same
model).
For case c), visually inspect the probe connector pins physical status and their
soldering to the PCB.

9) ECG/Physio
a. This may happen typically at run-time because ECG ASSY is not correctly
connected to the backplane, the MBB board.
Check ECG ASSY cabling and connection with MBB.
b. If still no result, substitute ECG ASSY board.

48 350015200_05
5.4.3 Error messages

It is possible that during operation the following error message are displayed in a pop
up menu:

"Error with over temperature (#5)" Please contact Service department.

An OK confirmation from the user is requested to close the warning message.

- Corrective action: verify fan functioning, cleaning and fan cable


- See corrective action for “Error with fan (#6)”

“Error with fan (#6)” Please contact Service department.

An OK confirmation from the user is required to close the warning message.

- Corrective action: verify fan and fan cable


- There may be a disconnection of the fans assembly from the FPB board (see
picture of the fans assy below), or a disconnection of the FPB board from the
MBB board.
-

-
-
- Alternatively, the problem may be more subtle and depend on a HW issue on
the SPB board, which controls the fans rotation.
- Check the fan assembly connections and then, if still no result, check FPB and
MBB board connectors and finally try substituting the SPB board.
49 350015200_05
"Error with internal voltage (#7)" Please contact Service department.

An error log is created (file .ERR), even if this issue is not strictly blocking.
The causes may be several.
If the log puts in evidence the “+5V_AFE” internal voltage (search for such string), the
problem can be on the DFB boards. Replace the first one and then the other DFB
board.
If instead the log puts in evidence the “+1V2_DFB” internal voltage (search for such
string), the problem can be on the SPB board. Replace the SPB board.

"Wrong Impulse Voltage (#8)" Please contact Service department.

An OK confirmation from the user is requested to close the warning message.

- Corrective action: replace Switching Power Board or Digital Processing Board


-

- An error log file is created (file.ERR).


- Most likely there is a problem on the SPB board, especially at the High Voltage
section. Replace the SPB board.

68 350015200_05
6.8 Log Files
The log file has to be saved soon after the problem occurs or, at the latest, at the next
start up. The file has a FIFO structure with a limited memory availability: When the log
file memory is full, the oldest events registered in the file are eliminated to free space for
the recent ones.

For this reason, the log file must be saved as soon as possible.

6.8.1 Log Files Organization


The zip of log files (and the “Logs” folder) contains the following file and folders:

• LogParser executable file that allows to analyze the log contents.


• TextLog folder that contains the list of the entries done on the system.
• LogInstallMS folder that traces the updates done on the system.
• Dump folder.

6.8.2 LogParser Executable

This file allows the technician to look at the log files for a first error analysis. To launch
the executable, place the cursor on it and press the ENTER key twice. This utility can be
run both directly in the system and in any PC having the following operating systems:

• Windows XP Home
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows Vista
• Windows 7
• Windows 10

LogParser

The utility is organized in four main areas.

69 350015200_05
TextLog Folder

The TextLog folder, containing the log files, is displayed in the upper left area (indicated
by the number “1” in the above figure). Place the cursor on the “+” symbol displayed
beside the name and press ENTER to display its contents.
This folder contains the list of all entries done on the system that is the list of all times
the unit has been switched on. Each entry is so listed:

date[yyyy-mm-dd] time [hh:mm:ss] - date[yyyy-mm-dd] time [hh:mm:ss]

The first date and time indicate when the unit has been turned on; the second date and
time when the unit has been turned off.

When an entry is selected, the areas “2” and “3” show the logged information related to
this entry.

In the left bottom area (“2”) the following system information is listed:

• model name
• installed licenses and the corresponding licence numbers
• installed build
• the ID button number
• hardware characteristics

In the main area (“3”) the list of the operations logged for the selected entry is displayed.

The three buttons displayed at the bottom of the area “3” allow to change the zoom
factor (buttons “-” and “+”) and to refresh the log of the operations.

Each logged operation is listed in this format:


date time [Software component][log group] logged operation

Criteria for displaying the logs

Displaying criteria can be selected from the upper left and right lists. The upper left list
contains all the system software components; the upper right list contains logic log
groups with which the list of logged operations can be organized for an easiest analysis.

Place the cursor on the desired element of one of the lists to display the related logs.

It is possible to do a double selection that is selecting both the software component and
the logic log group. In this case the system displays all logged operations satisfying both
criteria.

70 350015200_05
6.8.3 User Session

Whenever the log has to be analyzed, the simplest way is to follow the procedure:
• Expand the TextLog folder.
• Select the entry to be analyzed.
• Select in the right combo box the UserSession option.

The logged operations are displayed in chronological order, showing the operations
done by the user.

The main phases of the exam are clearly indicated by data delimiters, like:

• ---StartExam.xml--- and ---EndExam.xml--- between which all exam operations


are listed.
• ---RT.xml--- that marks the operations done in real time and in freeze.
• ---WorksheetComponent.xml--- and ---ReportViewer.xml--- that respectively
indicate when the WORKSHEET and the REPORT buttons have been pressed.

When an error occurs the delimiters allow to identify in which phase happens.

71 350015200_05
Logged Errors

The errors are reported in the upper right list, as shown in the figure below.

The error log group displays all the errors occurred in the system.

72 350015200_05
6.9 Remote Service

8 SAFETY TEST
Every MyLab 9 Family unit complies with EN60601-1 (IEC 60601-1) standard.
The MyLab 9 Family units are Class I Type B and BF (Ultrasound probe) and CF
(ECG) applied parts.

It is mandatory to perform Safety Tests every time new peripherals are powered
through the cart or you had to replace any of the following parts:
• Power Supply Group: ASB, AC/DC, mains cables
• Activities that involve substitution or temporary disconnection of ground cable
for PE protection
• ECG ASSY, ECG cable
• Power Supply Plug

Anyway we suggest repeating the safety tests every two years. If the system is used
in the Intensive or Coronary Care, we suggest repeating the safety tests once a year.

WARNING
Whenever the measured values exceed the reference ones (see the following table)
don’t use the unit and send it to ESAOTE

8.1 Safety measurements according IEC 62353
