Chapter 2. Safety 2 - 11
EMI
This product complies with EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) standards. However, using the
system inside an electromagnetic field can lower the quality of ultrasound images and even
damage the product.
If this occurs often, Samsung Medison suggests a review of 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.
Communication devices, such as cellular phones and pagers, can cause these emissions. The
existence of radios, TVs, or microwave transmission equipment nearby can also cause
interference.
CAUTION
In cases where EMI is causing disturbances, it may be necessary to relocate
this system.
EMC
Testing of the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) of this system has been performed
according to the international standard for EMC with medical devices (IEC 60601-1-2). This IEC
standard was adopted in Europe as the European norm (EN 60601-1-2).
