Electromagnetic interferences
The Vivid i ultra-
sound unit is ap-
proved for use in
hospitals, clinics
and other environ-
mentally qualified
facilities, in terms of
the prevention of ra-
dio wave interfer-
ence. Operation of
the unit in an inap-
propriate environ-
ment can cause
electronic interfer-
ence to radios and
television sets situ-
ated near the medi-
cal equipment.
Ensure that the unit is protected from electromagnetic
interferences as follows:
• Operate the unit at least 4.5 meters (fifteen feet) away from
equipment that emits strong electromagnetic radiation.
• Shield the unit when operating it in the vicinity of radio
broadcasting equipment, if necessary.
Connecting the unit
A GE-qualified person should perform the initial system
installation.
Connecting the Vivid i ultrasound unit involves preliminary
checks of the power adaptor unit and cord, voltage level and
compliance with electrical safety requirements.
Use only power supply cords, cables and plugs provided by or
designated by GE Medical Systems.
Ensure that the power cord and plug are intact and that the
power plug is the proper hospital-grade type (where required).
When using the mains outlets, the unit should be connected to
a fixed power socket which has the protective grounding
connector. Never use an extension cord or adapter plug.
WARNING
Failure to provide an adequate earth circuit can cause electrical
shock, resulting in serious injury.
