1-3-5 Auxiliary Devices Safety

Power Supplies for additional equipment MUST comply with IEC 60601-1.

!! WARNING:

DO NOT attempt to use different peripherals and accessories (brand and model;

!! WARNING:

connected via the PCMCIA or USB ports) other than approved and provided by GE! The ultrasound system is an extremely sensitive and complex medical system. Any unauthorized peripherals may cause system failure or damage!

The IEC 60601-1-1 standard provides a guideline for safely interconnecting medical devices in systems. “Equipment connected to the analog or digital interface must comply with the respective IEC/UL standards (e.g. IEC 60950 / UL 60950 for data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 / UL 60601-1 for medical equipment). Everybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input portion or signal output portion configures a medical system, and is therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1.

For Ethernet connection, a separation device has to be used.

Special care has to be taken, if the device is connected to computer network (e.g., Ethernet), because other devices could be connected without any control. There could be a potential difference between the protective earth and any line of the computer network including the shield.

!! NOTICE:

In this case the only way to operate the system safely is to use an isolated signal link with minimum 4mm creepage distance, 2.5mm air clearance of the isolation device. For computer networks there are media converters available which convert the electrical to optical signals. Please consider that this converter has to comply with IEC xxx standards* and is battery operated.

* IEC xxx stands for standards such as:

• IEC 60601 for medical devices

• IEC 60950 for information technology equipment etc.

Internally powered, applied parts type BF according to IEC60601-1 including national deviations Information for service personnel: For safety test without AC-mains connection (battery operated): apply Class II limits for electrical safety test of Voluson i/e (e.g. NC (normal condition) 100µA touch-current acc. IEC60601-1) For safety test with AC-mains connection (by AC/DC adapter or Voluson Station/Cart): apply Class I limits for electrical safety test of Voluson i/e (e.g. NC (normal condition) 500µA earth-leakage-current, 100µA enclosure leakage current, 100µA touch-current; SFC (single fault condition, like open PE or open L/N) 1000µA earth-leakage-current, 500µA enclosure leakage current, 500µA touch-current; acc. IEC60601-1); Do not perform ground continuity test on accessible conducting parts of the Voluson i/e. These parts are either isolated (floating) or connected to functional earth but not protective earth, i.e. the connection is not designed to withstand 25A ground continuity test and can damage the Voluson i/e. Always observe national applicable regulations which might require different limits

The system integrator (any person connecting the medical device to other devices) is responsible that the connections are safe.

If in doubt, consult the technical service department or your local representative.

The leakage current of the entire system including any / all auxiliary equipment must not exceed

Section 1-4 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

1-4-1 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 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.

For applicable standards refer to Chapter 2 in the Basic User Manual.

1-4-2 Compliance

The Voluson i / Voluson e unit 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 as mentioned in IEC 60601-1-2.

NOTE: For CE Complia nce, it is critical that all covers, sc rews, shielding, gaskets, mesh, cla mps, 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.

1-4-3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Prevention

Do not touch any boards with integrated circuits prior to taking the necessary ESD

!! WARNING:

precautions:

1.) When installing boards, ESD may cause damage to a board. ALWAYS connect

yourself, via an arm-wrist strap, to any exposed metal part of the system.

2.) Follow general guidelines for handling of electrostatic sensitive equipment.

Risk of electrical shock: System must be turned off and Battery has to be removed. Avoid all contact with electrical contacts, conductors and components. Always use non-conductive handles designed for the removal and rep lacement of ESD sensitive parts. All parts that have the potential for storing energy must be discharged or isolated before making contact.

2-2-3 EMI Limitations

Ultrasound systems are susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from radio frequencies, magnetic fields, and transients in the air or wiring. Ultrasound machines also generate EMI. The Voluson i / Voluson e 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 unit is installed, and should not be on the same

!! NOTICE:

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

Table 2-4 EMI Prevention/ Abatement

EMI Rule Details

Be aware of RF sources.

Ground the unit.

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.

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.

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

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.

Properly address peripheral cables.

Do not allow cables to lie across the top of the system. Loop any peripheral cable excess length into one bundle.

EMI precautions have been taken and all possible sources of interference have been removed.

Mandatory site requirements have been met.

If a network is used, be sure to have all applicable Network information (IP addresses, AE Title, Port Number, etc.) and a dedicated network outlet is available.

Purchaser responsibility includes:

• Procuring the materials required.

• Completing the preparations before delivery of the ultrasound system.

• Paying the costs for any alterations and modifications not specifically provided in the sales contract.

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 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 machine. 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 system reliability.
