For information on cleaning ECG cables and lead sets, see "Cleaning the System
and ECG Equipment" on page 331.
Disposable Drape
If you believe contamination of the system might occur during an exam, Philips
recommends that you take universal precautions and cover the system with a
disposable drape. Consult your facility's rules regarding equipment use in the
presence of infectious disease.
CAUTION
Position the disposable drape so that it does not block the vents on the system,
the monitors, or the peripherals.
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
phenomena 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
function satisfactorily in the presence of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Electromagnetic emissions is the ability of a product, a device, or a system to
introduce intolerable electromagnetic disturbances into the use environment.
Your system has been manufactured in compliance with existing electromagnetic
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
