WARNING

WARNING

GE CONFIDENTIAL

If the covers are removed from an operating Vivid E80/E90/
E95, some metal surfaces may be warm enough to pose a
potential heat hazard if touched, even while in shutdown mode.

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 Vivid E80/
E90/E95.

Attempts to move the Vivid E80/E90/E95 considerable
distances or on an incline by one person could result in injury
or damage or both.

When the top console is in its locked position, the gas shock is
compressed and stores mechanical energy. During normal
operation the top console, the weight of the monitor and the
mechanical force of the gas shock are in balance. Take care if/
when you activate this gas shock. Personal injury can occur
after the panel is removed and the shock pressure is released.
Take care when you repair the elevation assembly.

Explosion Warning

DO NOT operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.

DO NOT substitute parts or modify equipment

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, ONLY
install GE approved parts. DO NOT perform any unauthorized
modification of the equipment.

1-6-4 Mechanical safety

While the software install procedure is designed to preserve
data, you should save any patient data, images, system setups
to removable media or hardcopy before doing a software
upgrade.

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.

Never use a probe that has fallen to the floor. Even if it looks
OK, it may be damaged.

GE CONFIDENTIAL

The Ultrasound system should not be moved with the Operator
I/O Panel extended. Move the operator i/o panel to its centered
and locked position. Lower the Operator I/O Panel as much as
possible before moving the Ultrasound system.

Prior to elevating Ultrasound system:

• verify that the floating Operating Panel is locked in its
lowest, parking position.

• verify that the front brake is locked and the Ultrasound
system is unable to swivel.

• verify that the rear brakes are in the locked position.

When the Ultrasound system is raised for a repair or moved
along any incline, use extreme caution since it may become
unstable and tip over.

Remember: If the front caster swivel lock is engaged for
transportation, pressing the release pedal once disengages the
swivel lock. You must depress the release pedal a second time
to engage the brake.

Do not move the Ultrasound system if the Operating Panel is in
unlocked position.

To avoid injury when you move the LCD monitor and the
monitor arm, do not put your finger, hand, or object on the joint
of the monitor or the monitor arm.

Ensure that nobody touches the console arm/frogleg when
moving the Operating Panel.

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

Vivid E80/E90/E95 weighs 128 kg (283 lb.) or more, depending
on installed peripherals, when ready for use. Care must be

Section 1-10 Electromagnetic

1-10-1 What is 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 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.

2-2-4 EMI limitations

GE CONFIDENTIAL

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

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

See: 2-2-5 ‘EMI prevention/abatement’ on page2-10 for EMI
prevention tips.

EMI RULE DETAILS

Be aware of Radio
Frequency sources

Ground the
Ultrasound system

Replace all screws,
Radio Frequency
gaskets, covers,
cores

Replace broken
Radio Frequency
gaskets

Do not place labels
where Radio
Frequency gaskets
touch metal

• 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.

Use GE specified
harnesses and
peripherals

Take care with
cellular phones

Properly route
peripheral cables

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.

2-3-2 Purchaser responsibilities (continued)

NOTE: All electrical installations that are preliminary to the positioning

of the equipment at the site prepared for the equipment must be
performed by licensed electrical contractors. Other connections
between pieces of electrical equipment, calibrations, and testing
must also be performed by qualified personnel. The products
involved (and the accompanying electrical installations) are
highly sophisticated and special engineering competence is
required. All electrical work on these products must comply with
the requirements of applicable electrical codes. The purchaser
of GE equipment must only utilize qualified personnel to perform
electrical servicing on the equipment.

The desire to use a non–listed or customer provided product or
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).

Facility needs

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 Networking setup requirements

2-3-8-1 Stand alone Ultrasound system (without network connection)

None.

2-3-8-2 Ultrasound system connected to hospital’s network

Supported networks:

10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet/DICOM network (option)

2-3-8-3 InSite requirements

InSite requires an Ethernet connection either via:

• 10/100 Mbit or 10/100/1000 Mbit Interface

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.

2-3-8-5 DICOM option setup requirements

To configure the Ultrasound system to work with other network
connections, the site’s network administrator must provide
information to complete the form “Worksheet for DICOM
Network Information”. Ensure that there are no spaces in any
field of the form.

Section 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.

Environmental Dangers

2-4-2 Patient Environment IEC60601-1 (IEC60601-1-1) and

ANSI AAMI ES60601-1

Sub Clause 2.202 and figure 201 (IEC60601-1-1:2000)

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.

The patient environment/vicinity will be depicted as a dashed line in this procedure.
See example below.

Setup reminders

WHEN USING ANY TEST INSTRUMENT THAT IS CAPABLE
OF OPENING THE AC GROUND LINE (I.E., METER’S
GROUND SWITCH IS OPEN), DON’T TOUCH THE
ULTRASOUND SYSTEM!

To prevent electrical shock, connect the Ultrasound system to a
properly grounded power outlet. Do not use a three to two
prong adapter. This defeats safety grounding.

Do not wear the ESD wrist strap when you work on live circuits
and more than 30 V peak is present.

Do not operate this Ultrasound system unless all board covers
and frame panels are securely in place. System performance
and cooling require this.

3-3-4 The Tilt and Shock indicators

3-3-4-1 Overview

Improper handling during transportation may harm the
equipment inside the package even if the package itself is
undamaged.

To make it easier to detect if the handling during transportation
has been improper, a set of Tilt & Shock indicators have been
attached to the transportation box.

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

The purpose of a shock indicator label is NOT to tell whether a
product has been damaged during shipment. The purpose of
these labels is to alert people handling a package that the
product contained is very sensitive to shock damage and that it
should be handled carefully. It is basically an active “Fragile”
label that turns red if a predetermined shock does occur.
Because the labels can receive false activation due to an impact
shock directly on the label, an activated label must not be
interpreted to mean product damage. It simply means that the
receiver should note on the shipping papers at the time of
receipt that the label was activated and the product should be
inspected for possible concealed damage. Conversely, a high
level, product-damaging shock could occur to the package in a
way that does not activate the label, so a non activated label
does not ensure that the product is not damaged. Some degree
of inspection is still required.

Step Task

2.

If the Shock Indicator is missing:

Note on the shipping papers at the time of
receipt that the Shock Indicator label is missing.

If the Shock Indicator has triggered:

Note on the shipping papers at the time of
receipt that the Shock Indicator label was
activated.

Inspect the product for possible concealed
damage.
