Official wording
Reason: The manufacturer discovered an issue associated with the EPIQ Image Boost with xPlane and Color Flow or Doppler while using the X8-2t TEE Transducer. If Image Boost is enabled the color box shows flow visualization not accurately represent the fluid flow. Similarly, if Image Boost is enabled, both CW and PW Doppler traces will not accurately represent the fluid flow.
