1-4-3 Vivid i n Battery Safety

NOTE: The Vivid i n portable ultrasound scanner is supplied with a dummy battery case, and a lithium ion

battery in the battery bay, as standard.

The lithium ion battery provides power when an AC power so urce is not available. L ithium ion batteries
last longer than conventional batteries and do not require replacement as often. You can expect one
hour of battery life with a single, fully-charged battery.

The lithium ion technology used in the system’s battery is significantly less hazardous to the
environment than the lithium metal technology used in some other batteries (such a watch batteries).
Used batteries should not be placed with common household waste products. Contact local authorities
for the location of a chemical waste collection program nearest you.

NOTE: Regulations vary for different countries. Dispose of a used battery in accordance with local regula tions.

CAUTION: use only batteries approved by GE Healthcare as suitab le for use with the Vivid i n

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 thr ough 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.

NOTE: The Vivid i n system should be operated at a distance of more than 15 feet from any magnetic

field.

1-5-2 CE Compliance

The Vivid i n portable ultrasound scanner 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 in the Vivid i n User Manual.

NOTE: For CE Compliance, it is critical that all covers, screws, shielding, gaskets, mesh and clamps are in good

condition and 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.

1-5-3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Prevention

CAUTION: Do not touch any boards with integrated circuits prior to taking the necessary ESD
precautions:
Always connect yourself, via an arm-wrist strap connected to the bottom cover whenever you
open the system for maintenance.

2-2-6 EMI Limitations (cont’d)

The following table lists recommendations for preventing EMI:

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.

Table 2-5 EMI Prevention/ Abatemen t

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 system. Loop any peripheral cable excess
length into one bundle.

2-3-4-3 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 prin ters. As an added benefit, transferring
images in this manner frees up the on-board moni tor and peripherals, enabling viewing to be don e while
scanning continues. With DICOM, images can be archived, stored, and retrieved faste r, easier , and at
a lower cost.

2-3-4-4 DICOM Option Pre-Installation Requirements

To configure the Vivid i nultrasound unit to work with other network connections, the network
administrator must provide the required information, which should include the following:

The Vivid i n unit has been designed to minimize the effects of Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI).
Many of the covers, shields, and screws are prov ide d prim ar ily to pr ot ect the syste m fr om ima ge
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 followe d:

Note: The Vivid i n

covers and cores.

Replace broken RF gaskets.

Do not place labels where
RF gaskets touch metal.

Use GE specified harnesses
and peripherals.

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

in an inappropriate environment can cause electronic interference to ra dios 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.

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 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.

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.

Take care with cellular
phones.

Properly address peripheral
cables.

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.

• Vivid i n scanner - connections via USB hub

3-6-1 Connecting Peripherals

3-6-1-1 USB Global Modem

NOTICE

IMPORTANT During Stand-by mode, it is NOT recommended to introduce or remove USB
devices; this may cause the system to lock-up during the boot-up procedure.

The USB Global Modem connection in the different scenarios is explained below.

• Connection directly to the Vivid i n system
The USB Global modem can be powered via the USB port on the Vivid i n system with no need for

additional power. The modem should be connected to the lower USB port on the rear connectors panel.
When connecting the modem, there is no preferen ce as to which cable to connect first. One end of the

telephone cable can be connected to the wall outlet and the other side to the modem, followed by
connecting one end of the USB cable to the modem and the other side to the lower USB port on the
rear connectors panel.

All software drivers for the modem are pre-installed for the specific modem type. One must follow the
i-Linq configuration procedure to complete the check-out process.

WARNING Do not attempt to use a different type of modem either via the PC MCIA or USB ports.
The ultrasound system is an extremely sensitive and complex medical system. Any
unauthorized peripherals may cause system failure or damage!

• Connection via USB hub

This is not an approved configuration and, in most cases, will not work and will cause software
complications.

NOTE: The CH5000GE is a stand-alone desktop smart-battery charger with the added ability to recalibrate th e

fuel gauge when detected to be out of calibration. The charger is specifically designed to operate with
the Vivid i n smart-battery (P/N 2378963-2).

The charger is supplied in a carton containing the following items:

• CH5000 desktop charger/calibrator

• 24V 2.5A AC-adapter power supply, universal mains input

• Instruction Manual

CAUTION: Always observe the following safety precautions:

• Do not expose the charger or power supply to water or conductive liquids (this is not a sealed case).

• Do not open the charger or power supply case. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• Do not cover the fan exhaust or obstruct the airflow, as this will cause overheating.

• Use only the manufacturer’s 24V 2.5A power supply.

• Place the charger in a cool location, away from exte rnal he at sources.

• During recalibration, the battery connector and base of the charger may become warm.

3-6-2-1 Setting up the Charger

1) Place the charger unit on a flat, level surface away from sources of heat and moisture.

2) Plug the DC connector from the power supply into the back of the charger.

• Recharge Time:
The time for a full charge from 0% to 100% state of charge is typically 4.5 hours.

• Recalibration Time

The recalibration cycle begins by discharging away any residual capacity. Then a calibration
charge is delivered to the battery. This is followed by a calibration discharge. Finally the battery
is given a regular charge. A calibration cycle will be faster if the battery is fully discharged to
begin with.

The recalibration time is approximately 9 hours for an empty battery, and approximately
14 hours for a fully-charged battery.

Note: Calibration is initiated each time the button is pressed, so it is not recommended to press

the recalibration button part way through th e re ca libr ati on cycle .
During the charging procedure, the green LED will be seen flashing.

At the end of this procedure, when the battery is fully charged, the solid green LED will be
illuminated in the status window, indicating a fully charged battery.

2.) Remove the battery from the charger unit battery bay and install it in the

3-6-2-3 Battery Recalibration

NOTE: For more details on recalibration and an explanation of why it is necessary, refer to Recalibration on

page 5 - 82.

If the battery is in need of “fuel gauge” recalibration, the red LED will flash upon insertion of the battery.
This indicator provides feedback to the user on the accuracy of the fuel gauge and avoids unnecessary
battery calibration cycles.

The user has the option to calibrate the fuel gauge and charge the b attery, or to only charge the battery.
This option is given because a recalibration cycle is longer than a charge cycle.

1) To recalibrate the battery, press the calibrate button on the front of the battery charger unit.
No action is required if only a recharge is required, as the charger will automatically begin to charge

the battery.
The blue calibration LED will flash to indicate that the battery is undergoing the recalibration cycle.
There may be a short delay before the calibration begins. During calibratio n the discharge resistors

will heat up and the fan will operate to maintain temperature within acceptable limits.
At the end of this procedure, when the battery is fully charged and the battery fuel gauge is

calibrated, the solid green and blue LEDs will be illuminated in the status window, indicating a fully
charged, fully calibrated battery.

2.) Remove the battery from the charger unit battery bay and insta ll it in the Vivid i n.

Note: The most common cause of calibration failure is overheating of the pack during discharge.

For this reason, keep the charger away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
