The following safety precautions must be observed during all
phases of operation, service and repair of this equipment.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific
warnings elsewhere in this manual, violates safety standards of
design, manufacture and intended use of the equipment.

1-6-3 Human Safety(continued)

WARNING

WARNING

WARNING

Because of the limited access to cabinets and equipment in the
field, placing people in awkward positions, GE has limited the
lifting weight for one person in the field to 16 KG (35 LBS).
Anything over 16 KG (35 LBS) requires 2 people.

Have two people available to deliver and unpack the Versana
Premier.

Attempts to move the Ultrasound system considerable
distances or on an incline by one person could result in injury
or damage or both.

Ensure that the Ultrasound system is turned off and unplugged.

Wait for at least 20 seconds for capacitors to discharge as
there are no test points to verify isolation. The amber light on
the OP panel ON/OFF button will turn off.

Safety considerations

Ultrasound system components may be energized. Always
refer to the Ultrasound system's Proprietary Service Manual for
LOTO warnings and cautions.

1-10 EMC, EMI and ESD

1-10-1 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Electromagnetic compatibility describes a level of performance
of a device within its electromagnetic environment. This
environment consists of the device itself and its surroundings
including other equipment, power sources and persons with
which the device must interface. Inadequate compatibility results
when a susceptible device fails to perform as intended due
interference from its environment or when the device produces
unacceptable levels of emission to its environment. This
interference is often referred to as radio–frequency or
electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI) and can be radiated
through space or conducted over interconnecting power of
signal cables. In addition to electromagnetic energy, EMC also
includes possible effects from electrical fields, magnetic fields,
electrostatic discharge and disturbances in the electrical power
supply.

EMC, EMI and ESD

1-10-2 CE Compliance

Versana Premier conforms to all applicable conducted and
radiated emission limits and to immunity from electrostatic
discharge, radiated and conducted RF fields, magnetic fields
and power line transient requirements.

For applicable standards, refer to the Safety Chapter of the
Ultrasound system User’s Manual.

NOTE: For CE Compliance, it is critical that all covers, screws,

shielding, gaskets, mesh, clamps, are in good condition,
installed tightly without skew or stress. Proper installation
following all comments noted in this service manual is required
in order to achieve full EMC performance.

2-2-4 EMI limitations

General Ultrasound system requirements

Ultrasound systems are susceptible to Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) from radio frequencies, magnetic fields, and
transients in the air or wiring. They also generate EMI. The
Ultrasound system complies with limits as stated on the EMC
label. However there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.

Possible EMI sources should be identified before the Ultrasound
system is installed.

Electrical and electronic equipment may produce EMI
unintentionally as the result of a defect. Some of these sources
include:

• medical lasers

• scanners

• cauterizing guns

• computers

• monitors

• fans

• gel warmers

• microwave ovens

• light dimmers

• mobile phones

• in-house wireless phones (DECT phones)

• wireless computer keyboard and mouse

• air conditioning system

• High Frequency (HF) surgery equipment

• general AC/DC adapters

• portable phones

The presence of a broadcast station or broadcast van may also
cause interference.

See: 2-2-4-1 ‘EMI prevention/abatement’ on page 2-10 for EMI
prevention tips.

Properly route
peripheral cables

• Keep the Ultrasound system at least 5 meters (15 feet) away from other EMI
sources.

• Special shielding may be required to eliminate interference problems caused by
high frequency, high powered radio or video broadcast signals.

Poor grounding is the most likely reason an Ultrasound system will have noisy
images. Check grounding of the power cord and power outlet.

• After you finish repairing or updating the Ultrasound system, replace all covers
and tighten all screws.

• Any cable with an external connection requires a magnet wrap at each end.

• Install all covers. Loose or missing covers or Radio Frequency gaskets allow
radio frequencies to interfere with the ultrasound signals.

If more than 20% or a pair of the fingers on an Radio Frequency gasket are
broken, replace the gasket. Do not turn on the Ultrasound system until any loose
metallic part is removed.

Where applicable, never place a label where Radio Frequency gaskets meet the
Ultrasound system. Otherwise, the gap created will permit Radio Frequency
leakage. Or, if a label has been found in such a position, move the label.

The interconnect cables are grounded and require ferrite beads and other
shielding. Also, cable length, material, and routing are all important; do not change
from what is specified.

Cellular phones may transmit a 5 V/m signal; that could cause image artifacts.

Where applicable, do not allow cables to lie across the top of the Card Rack or
hang out of the peripheral bays. Loop the excess length for peripheral cables
inside the peripheral bays. Attach the monitor cables to the frame.

to place an approved product further from the Ultrasound
system than the interface kit allows, presents challenges to the
installation team. To avoid delays during installation, such
variances should be made known to the individuals or group
performing the installation at the earliest possible date
(preferably prior to the purchase).

The ultrasound suite must be clean prior to delivery of the
Ultrasound system. Carpet is not recommended because it
collects dust and creates static. Potential sources of EMI
(electromagnetic interference) should also be investigated
before delivery. Dirt, static, and EMI can negatively impact
Ultrasound system reliability.

2-3-8-4 Purpose of the DICOM network function

DICOM services provide the operator with clinically useful
features for moving images and patient information over a
hospital network.

Examples of DICOM services include the transfer of images to
workstations for viewing or transferring images to remote
printers.

As an added benefit, transferring images in this manner frees up
the on-board monitor and peripherals, enabling viewing to be
done while scanning continues.

With DICOM, images can be archived, stored, and retrieved
faster, easier, and at a lower cost.

Environmental Dangers

2-4 Environmental Dangers

Commercial devices such as laser cameras, printers, VCRs and external monitors,
usually exceed allowable leakage current limits and, when plugged into separate AC
outlets, are in violation of patient safety standards. Suitable electrical isolation of such
external AC outlets, or providing the device with extra protective earth, will be required
in order to meet UL60601-1 and IEC60601-1 / IEC60601-1-1 standards for electrical
leakage.

2-4-1 Patient Vicinity UL60601-1 (USA)

2.12.20DV (UL60601-1:2003)

In area in which patients are normally cared for, the patient vicinity is the space with
surfaces likely to be contacted by the patient or attendant who can touch the patient.
This encloses a space within the room 1.83 m (6 ft.) beyond the perimeter of the bed
(examination table, dental chair, treatment booth, and the like) in its intended location,
and extending vertically 2.29 m (7.5 ft.) above the floor.

Sub Clause 3.79 and figure A.9 (IEC60601-1:2005 and ANSI AAMI
ES60601-1:2005)

Such an area is an environment in which medical diagnosis, monitoring or treatment is
carried out. It is very difficult to attach unique dimensions to the PATIENT
ENVIROMENT.

In practice a distance of 2,5 m (8.2 ft.) above the floor on which the medical personnel
stand and a horizontal distance of 1,5 m (4.9 ft.) have justified themselves as
indicative of the dimensions of the Patient Environment.

System Setup

3-3-5-3 If Tilt Indicator has triggered or is missing

The purpose of the tilt indicator label is to alert people handling a
product that it is sensitive to tipping and it must remain upright at
all times. It is basically an active "Up Arrow" that changes color if
the package is tipped 89 degrees or more from horizontal.
These labels can be false activated if tipped less than 89
degrees, and shocked or vibrated at the same time. This event
does occur, but is considered uncommon. If a package is
received with an activated tilt indicator label, there is high
degree of certainty it tipped 89 degrees or more from horizontal
during shipment.

An activated tilt indicator label does not indicate if the package
was simply “Tipped” (laid down with no impact shock) or “Tipped
Over” (free fall, with an impact shock). Using both shock
indicator labels and tilt indicator labels will help identify if a Tip
Over impact shock occurred.
