13.3 Middle Line
Middle Line helps to locate and observe the focus point of lithotripsy wave during lithotripsy
treatment. By means of providing information for the lithotripsy machine as well as a tool for
watching the procedure of lithotripsy in real-time, you can adjust the intension and frequency of the
lithotripsy wave through lithotripsy machine.
This function in the ultrasound system is for lesion (stone) location and observation only. For
details, please refer to lithotripsy machine accompanying manuals.
Turn on Middle Line function.
• The middle line is a vertical dotted line located in the middle of the screen, the position and
direction of which cannot be changed.
• There is a mark icon of “×” located on the middle line which can be moved up and down along

13.4 eSpacial Navi
The eSpacial Navi function builds up the connection between the ultrasound system and the
processed needles. The needle position appears on the image in real time. Meanwhile, the virtual
needle mark guides the needle path on the ultrasound image. Based on the magnetic induction
technology, the eSpacial Navi function aids in and enhance the ultrasound needle guidance.
• Ultrasound images should be referenced during the whole process of
needle guidance.
• The magnetizer should be used with the needle cap. Disinfect the
magnetizer after use.
