Safety: Electromagnetic Compatibility

WARNING

 

Never ride on a loading lift with the system. Your weight combined with the system's weight can

 

exceed the lift's load capacity.

 

 

 

 

Be sure the ultrasound system is firmly secured while inside the transporting vehicle. Any movement, combined with the system’s weight, could cause the system to break loose.

NOTE If you use the ultrasound system in a mobile van, follow the same fundamental transporting precautions listed in the sections above.

Electromag- netic Compatibility

Avoiding Electromag- netic Interference

This system has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) according to the international standard for EMC with medical devices, as determined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 60601-1-2). This IEC standard has been adopted in Europe as the European Norm EN 60601-1-2.

Medical devices can generate or receive electromagnetic interference (EMI). The EMC standards describe tests for both emitted and received interference. Emission tests deal with interference generated by the device being tested. The Philips ultrasound system does not generate interference based on the tests described in the standards.

Ultrasound systems are designed to receive radio frequency (RF) energy and are therefore susceptible to EMI generated by other RF energy sources. Examples of other sources of EMI are medical devices, information technology products, and radio and television transmission towers. Tracing the source of radiated interference can be a difficult task.

See “Electromagnetic Interference” on page 137 to identify sources of EMI.

Only a physician can determine if an artifact caused by radiated interference has a negative impact on image quality and the subsequent diagnosis.
