Section 1-3 Safety Considerations

1-3-1 Introduction

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.

1-3-2 Human Safety

Operating personnel must not remove the system covers. Servicing should be performed by authorized personnel only. Only personnel who have participated in Vivid™ 3 Training are authorized to service the equipment.

1-3-3 Mechanical Safety

DANGER: WHEN THE UNIT IS RAISED FOR A REPAIR OR MOVED ALONG ANY INCLINE,

USE EXTREME CAUTION SINCE IT MAY BECOME UNSTABLE AND TIP OVER.

DANGER: ULTRASOUND PROBES ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS

THAT CAN EASILY BE DAMAGED BY IMPROPER HANDLING. USE CARE WHEN HANDLING AND PROTECT FROM DAMAGE WHEN NOT IN USE. DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE PROBE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

DANGER: NEVER USE A PROBE THAT HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO MECHANICAL

SHOCK OR IMPACT. EVEN IF THE PROBE APPEARS TO BE UNBROKEN, IT MAY IN FACT BE DAMAGED.

CAUTION: Always lower and center the Operator I/O Panel before moving the scanner.

CAUTION: The Vivid™ 3 weighs 160 kg (353 lbs.)or more, depending on installed peripherals, when ready for use. Care must be used when moving it or replacing its parts. Failure to follow the precautions listed could result in injury, uncontrolled motion and costly damage.

ALWAYS:

Be sure the pathway is clear.

WARNING: Always lock the control console in its parking (locked) position after moving the system. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

1-8 Section 1-3 - Safety Considerations

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS

IRECTION 2300164-100, REVISION 7VIVID™ 3 PRO/VIVID™ 3 SERVICE MANUAL

WARNING: Equipment damage could result if special care is not taken when transporting the system in a vehicle.

ALWAYS:

• Secure the system in an upright position and lock the wheels (brake).

• DO NOT use the control console as an anchor point.

• Place the probes in their carrying case.

• Eject any disks from the MOD (if installed).

• Ensure that the system is well prepared and packed in its original packaging before transporting. Special care must be taken to correctly position the packing material supporting the monitor. For further information, refer to Chapter 3 - Installation.

CAUTION: Keep the heat venting holes on the monitor unobstructed to avoid overheating of the monitor.

1-3-4 Electrical Safety

To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis must be connected to an electrical Ground. The system is equipped with a three-conductor AC power cable. This must be plugged into an approved electrical outlet with safety grounding.

The power outlet used for this equipment should not be shared with other types of equipment. Both the system power cable and the power connector must meet international electrical standards.

1-3-4-1 Probes

All the probes for the Vivid™ 3 ultrasound unit are designed and manufactured to provide trouble-free, reliable service. To ensure this, correct handling of probes is important and the following points should be noted:

• Do not drop a probe or strike it against a hard surface, as this may damage the transducer elements, acoustic lens, or housing.

• Do not use a cracked or damaged probe. In this event, call your field service representative immediately to obtain a replacement.

• Avoid pulling, pinching or kinking the probe cable, since a damaged cable may compromise the electrical safety of the probe.

• To avoid the risk of a probe accidentally falling, do not allow the probe cables to become entangled, or to be caught in the machine’s wheels.

NOTE: For detailed information on handling endocavity probes, refer to the appropriate supplementary

instructions for each probe. In addition, refer to the Vivid™ 3 Pro/Vivid™ 3 Expert User Manual for detailed probe handling instructions.

Section 1-5 EMC, EMI, and ESD

1-5-1 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 to interference from its environment, or when the device produces unacceptable levels of emission. 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 or 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.

1-5-2 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Prevention

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH ANY BOARDS WITH INTEGRATED CIRCUITS PRIOR TO

TAKING THE NECESSARY ESD PRECAUTIONS:

1.ALWAYS CONNECT YOURSELF, VIA AN ARM-WRIST STRAP, TO THE ADVISED ESD CONNECTION POINT LOCATED ON THE REAR OF THE SCANNER (TO THE RIGHT OF THE POWER CONNECTOR).

2.FOLLOW GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR HANDLING OF ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT.

2-2-6 EMI Limitations

Ultrasound machines are susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from radio frequencies, magnetic fields, and transients in the air or wiring. They also generate EMI. The Vivid™ 3 ultrasound unit complies with limits as stated on the EMC label. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Note: Possible EMI sources should be identified before the unit is installed, and should not be on the

same line as the ultrasound system. A dedicated line should be used for the ultrasound system.

Electrical and electronic equipment may produce EMI unintentionally as the result of a defect. Sources of EMI include the following:

• Medical lasers.

• Scanners.

• Cauterizing guns.

•Computers.

•Monitors.

•Fans.

• Gel warmers.

• Microwave ovens.

• Portable phones.

• Broadcast stations and mobile broadcasting machines.

Chapter 2 - Pre-Installation 2-5

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS

IRECTION 2300164-100, REVISION 7VIVID™ 3 PRO/VIVID™ 3 SERVICE MANUAL

The following table lists recommendations for preventing EMI:

Table 2-4 EMI Prevention/ Abatement

EMI Rule Details

Ground the unit.

Be aware of RF sources.

Replace and/or reassemble all screws, RF gaskets, covers and cores.

Replace broken RF gaskets.

Do not place labels where RF gaskets touch metal.

Use GE specified harnesses and peripherals.

Take care with cellular phones.

Properly address peripheral cables.

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

Keep the unit at least 5m (16.4 ft) 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.

After you finish repairing or updating the system, replace all covers and tighten all screws. Any cable with an external connection requires a magnet wrap at each end. Install the shield over the front of the card cage. Loose or missing covers or RF gaskets allow radio frequencies to interfere with the ultrasound signals.

If more than 20% or a pair of the fingers on an RF gasket are broken, replace the gasket. Do not turn ON the unit until any loose metallic part is removed and replaced, if required.

Never place a label where RF gaskets meet the unit. Otherwise, the gap created will permit RF leakage. In case a label has been found in such a location, move the label to a different, appropriate location.

The interconnect cables are grounded and require ferrite beads and other shielding. Cable length, material, and routing are all important; do not make any changes that do not meet all specifications.

Cellular phones may transmit a 5 V/m signal that causes image artifacts.

Do not allow cables to lie across the top of the card cage or hang out of the peripheral bays. Loop any peripheral cable excess length inside the peripheral bays or hang on the hooks provided below the console. Attach the monitor cables to the frame.

3-4-6 Ensuring Protection from EMI

The Vivid™ 3 unit has been designed to minimize the effects of Electo-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Many of the covers, shields, and screws are provided primarily to protect the system from image artifacts caused by this interference. For this reason, it is imperative that all covers and hardware are installed and secured before the unit is put into operation.

Ensure that the system is protected from electromagnetic interference (EMI), as follows:

• Operate the system at least 15 feet away from equipment that emits strong electromagnetic radiation.

• Operate the system in an area enclosed by walls, floors and ceilings comprised of wood, plaster or concrete, which help prevent EMI.

• Shield the system when operating it in the vicinity of radio broadcast equipment, if necessary.

• Do not operate mobile phones or other EMI emitting devices in the ultrasound room.

• Verify that all EMI rules listed in the following table are followed:

Note: The Vivid™ 3

qualified facilities, in terms of the prevention of radio wave interference. Operation of the ultrasound unit television sets situated near the medical equipment.

Table 3-7 EMI Prevention/ Abatement

EMI Rule Details

Ground the unit.

Be aware of RF sources.

Replace and/or reassemble all screws, RF gaskets, covers and cores.

Replace broken RF gaskets.

Do not place labels where RF gaskets touch metal.

ultrasound unit is approved for use in hospitals, clinics and other environmentally

in an inappropriate environment can cause electronic interference to radios and

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

If more than 20% or a pair of the fingers on an RF gasket are broken, replace the gasket. Do not turn on the unit until any loose metallic part is removed and replaced if needed.

Never place a label where RF gaskets meet the unit. Otherwise, the gap created will permit RF leakage. In case a label has been found in such a location, move the label to a different appropriate location.

Use GE specified harnesses and peripherals.
