Explosion Hazard
WARNING
Do not operate the system in the presence of flammable anesthetics. For more
information regarding operator and patient safety, see “Explosive Hazards” on
page 52.
Radio Frequency Communications Equipment Hazard
WARNING
The use of portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the
operation of medical equipment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is defined as the ability of a product, a device,
or a system to function satisfactorily in the presence of the electromagnetic phe-
nomena that exists in the location of the product, the device, or the system being
used; and, in addition, to not introduce intolerable electromagnetic disturbances
to anything in that same environment.
Electromagnetic immunity is the ability of a product, a device, or a system to func-
tion satisfactorily in the presence of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Electromagnetic emissions is the ability of a product, a device, or a system to intro-
duce intolerable electromagnetic disturbances into the use environment.
The ultrasound system has been manufactured in compliance with existing elec-
tromagnetic compatibility requirements. Use of this system in the presence of an
electromagnetic field can cause momentary degradation of the ultrasound image.
If this occurs often, review the environment in which the system is being used to
identify possible sources of radiated emissions. These emissions could be from
other electrical devices used within the same room or an adjacent room, or from
portable and mobile RF communications equipment such as cellular phones and
pagers, or from the existence of radio, TV, or microwave transmission equipment
located nearby. In cases where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is causing dis-
turbances, it may be necessary to relocate your system.
