Clarius Ultrasound Scanner - HD3 Scanners Safety Topics
revision 1 58
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The Clarius Ultrasound Scanner has been manufactured with existing electromagnetic
compatibility requirements and have been tested and found to comply with electromagnetic
compatibility standards to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
typical medical installation.
Use of this system in the presence of an electromagnetic field can cause momentarily
degraded image quality. If this occurs frequently, review the environment surrounding the
system and identify possible sources of radiated emissions. These emissions could be caused
by other electrical equipment from:
• The same or adjacent room.
• Portable or mobile RF communications equipment (such as cellular phones and pagers).
• Radio, TV, or microwave transmission equipment located nearby.
The scanner’s built-in radio operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, and supports:
• Bluetooth 4.1 as well as CSA2.
• IEEE Std 802.11a, 802.11b/g, and IEEE Std 802.11n data rates with 20 MHz or 40 MHz SISO
and 20 MHz MIMO.
Caution:
• Using components and accessories not recommended by Clarius may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the system. Use only accessories and peripherals
recommended by Clarius.
• EMC precautions for medical equipment must be followed according to the EMC
information provided in that system's accompanying documents.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), or static shock, results from the flow of an electrical charge from
a person or object of a higher charge to that of a lower charge. ESD is most prevalent in low-
humidity environments, often caused by heating or air-conditioning.
