Electromagnetic Compatibility Safety
Lumify Ultrasound System 65

• Is the interference intermittent or constant?
• Does the interference show up only with one transducer or with several transducers?
• Do two different transducers operating at the same frequency have the same problem?
• Is the interference present if the system is moved to a different location in the facility?
• Can the EMC coupling path be attenuated? For example, placement of a transducer or
printer close to an ECG cable can increase electromagnetic interference. Moving the cable
or other medical equipment away from the location of the transducer or printer can result
in reduced electromagnetic interference.
The answers to these questions will help determine if the problem resides with the system or
the scanning environment. After you answer the questions, contact your Philips service
representative.
Use Restrictions Due to Interference
The physician must determine if an artifact caused by radiated interference will have a negative
impact on image quality and the subsequent diagnosis.
