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.
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 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 isolated power outlet on the Philips ultrasound system, or from
an isolation transformer that meets medical safety standards, as defined
by standard IEC 60601-1.
• 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.
• Off-cart devices connecting to the ultrasound system must comply with
the applicable IEC or national standards, such as IEC 60601-1, IEC 60950,
or the equivalent.
