CAUTION
If the system is connected to other customer-supplied equipment, such as a local
area network (LAN) or a remote printer, Philips cannot guarantee that the
remote equipment will work correctly in the presence of electromagnetic
phenomena.
Although most remote devices comply with their applicable standards for
immunity, those device requirements may not be as stringent as those required
for medical equipment. It is the responsibility of the installer and the user of this
remote customer-supplied equipment to ensure that it functions properly in the
electromagnetic environment where the system is installed. Philips suggests that
the installer or the user of such a system consult with experts in the field of
electromagnetic compatibility and safety for guidance to ensure the safe and
effective use of the created system.
Electromagnetic Interference
Electromagnetic interference may appear in many ways on the system and
depends on the mode the equipment is operating in, the imaging control settings,
the type of transducer being used, the type of electromagnetic phenomena, and
the intensity level of the phenomena.
CAUTION
When interference is present or intermittent, use caution when continuing to
use the system.
NOTES
• Electromagnetic phenomena are not always present and may be transitory
in nature. It may be extremely difficult to identify the source of the
interference.
• The following table describes a few typical interferences seen in imaging
systems. It is impossible to describe all manifestations of interference,
because it depends on many parameters of the transmitting device, such as
the type of modulation used by the signal carrier, the source type, and the
transmitted level. It is also possible for the interference to degrade the
imaging system's performance and not be visible in the image. If the
