Removing Blood and Infectious Material from the System
It is important to clean and maintain the ultrasound system and peripherals. If the equipment
has come in contact with blood or infectious material, clean and disinfect the system and
peripherals according to the instructions in the “System Maintenance” section.
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.
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 image quality. 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 equipment located
nearby. In cases where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is causing disturbances, it may be
necessary to relocate your system.
