Disposable Drape
If you believe contamination of the ultrasound 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
ultrasound 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
