Additional notes

The input/output assembly back end processor (bep) aurora is used in ultrasound and other medical equipments as applicable. It consists of io board bep esound, io bulkhead assembly bep and mounting screws. It is compact and easily portable. The io assembly is a spare part which is packed individually. It is easily assembled and removed whenever required. The bep is a computer, designed especially for the use in the ultrasound scanners made by ge. The back end processor receives the digitized ultrasound data from the crx board in the front end. It performs the beam forming, process the color flow, doppler, m-mode and 3d/4d data calculations. It also performs scan conversion to pixel domain and drives the ultrasound system’s monitors. A coc (certificate of compliance) stating conformance with essential to safety properties for embedded part is included with each shipment. The bep spare, part is individually packed and comply with the global packaging requirements.
