Application
Acoustic output defaults are set when you select an application. Samsung Medison factory defaults
vary with probe, application, and mode. Defaults have been chosen below the FDA limits for
intended use.

Acoustic Output and Measurement
Since the rst usage of diagnostic ultrasound, the possible human biological eects (bioeects) of
ultrasound exposure have been studied by various scientic and medical institutions. In October 1987,
the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine(AIUM) ratied a report prepared by its Bioeects
Committee (Bioeects Considerations for the Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound, J Ultrasound Med., Sept.
1988: Vol.7, No.9 Supplement), sometimes referred to as the Stowe Report, which reviewed available
data on possible eects of ultrasound exposure. Another report “Bioeects and Safety of Diagnostic
Ultrasound,” dated January 28, 1993 provides more up to date information.
