4 Preparing the System
The information and procedures in this section will help you prepare the system
for use. Preparations include connecting transducers and external devices,
locking articulated components for moving, and ensuring that system operating
requirements are met.
Connecting Devices
In addition to the devices installed in the system cart, the system supports
external devices. These devices include printers, a VCR, a foot switch, and a
color monitor.
The system also supports a DVD recorder. This recorder is considered an
external device, even when it is installed on the system. The DVD recorder
can be installed before the system is shipped, or can be installed in the field
by your Philips representative.
WARNINGS
• When using additional peripheral equipment powered from an electrical
source other than the ultrasound system, the combination is considered
to be a medical system. It is your responsibility to comply with
IEC 60601-1-1 and test the system to those requirements. For more
information on peripheral devices, see the "Safety" section of the User
Manual. If you have questions, contact your Philips representative.
• Do not use nonmedical peripherals, such as report printers, within 1.5 m
(5 ft) of a patient, unless the nonmedical peripherals receive power from
an isolation transformer that meets medical safety standards, as defined
by standard IEC 60601-1-1.
• Philips ultrasound systems are tested to the requirements of IEC 60601-1,
with on-cart peripherals that are powered by the built-in isolation
transformer. The system peripherals meet general electrical safety usage
requirements, but not necessarily medical device standards.
