Mains power quality should be that of a
typical commercial or hospital
environment. If the user of the SonoSite
TITAN ultrasound system requires
continued operation during power
mains interruptions, it is recommended
that the SonoSite TITAN ultrasound
system be powered from an
uninterruptible power supply or a
battery.

3 A/m 3 A/m If image distortion occurs, it may be
necessary to position the SonoSite
TITAN ultrasound system further from
sources of power frequency magnetic
fields or to install magnetic shielding.
The power frequency magnetic field
should be measured in the Intended
installation location to assure that it is
sufficiently low.
