WARNING:
The liquid crystal display (LCD) contains mercury. Dispose of the LCD properly in
accordance with local regulations.
Caution:
Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding EMC and must
be installed and operated according to these instructions. It is possible that high
levels of radiated or conducted radio-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI)
from portable and mobile RF communications equipment or other strong or nearby
radio-frequency sources, could result in performance disruption of the ultrasound
system. Evidence of disruption may include image degradation or distortion, erratic
readings, equipment ceasing to operate, or other incorrect functioning. If this occurs,
survey the site to determine the source of disruption, and take the following actions
to eliminate the source(s).
• Turn equipment in the vicinity off and on to isolate disruptive equipment.
• Relocate or re-orient interfering equipment.
• Increase distance between interfering equipment and your ultrasound system.
• Manage use of frequencies close to ultrasound system frequencies.
• Remove devices that are highly susceptible to EMI.
• Lower power from internal sources within facility control (such as paging
systems).
• Label devices susceptible to EMI.
• Educate clinical staff to recognize potential EMI-related problems.
• Eliminate or reduce EMI with technical solutions (such as shielding).
• Restrict use of personal communicators (cell phones, computers) in areas with
devices susceptible to EMI.
• Share relevant EMI information with others, particularly when evaluating new
equipment purchases which may generate EMI.
• Purchase medical devices that comply with IEC 60601-1-2 EMC Standards.
