requirements, but do not meet medical device standards. Therefore, do not use system

 

peripherals within six feet of a patient unless the peripherals receive power from an isolated

 

power outlet on the imaging system, or from an isolation transformer that meets medical safety

 

standards. The 120 VAC outlets on the power supply are isolated. The specific peripherals listed

 

in “Optional Peripherals” on page 201 meet medical device standards when installed in the
