1-3-4 Electrical Safety

1-3-4-1 Safe Practices

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 ground. If an extension cord is used with the system, make sure that the total
current rating of the system does not exceed the extension cord rating.

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 meet international electrical standards.

NOTE: This product is classified as Class I and INTERNALLY POWERED ME QUIPMENT according to the

IEC/EN 60601-1.

1-3-4-2 Probes

All the probes for the Voluson™S8 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.

• Inspect the probe prior to each use for damage or degradation to the Housing, Cable strain relief,
Lens and Seal.

• 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.

• Never immerse the probe connector or adapter into any liquid.

NOTE: For detailed information on handling probes, refer to the Voluson™S8 Basic User Manual and the care

card supplied with the probe.

1-3-5 Auxiliary Devices Safety (cont?)

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.

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.

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 or connected to the isolation
mains output of the Voluson™S8 ultrasound system.

* IEC xxx stands for standards such as:

• IEC 60601 for medical devices

• IEC 60950 for information technology equipment etc.

The system integrator (any person connecting the medical device to other devices) is responsible

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 please refer to Chapter 2 in the Basic User Manual of the Voluson™S8
ultrasound system.

1-4-2 Compliance

The Voluson™S8 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 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.

1-4-3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Prevention

DO NOT touch any boards with integrated circuits prior to taking the necessary ESD

!! WARNING:

!! WARNING:

precautions:

1.) When installing boards, ESD may cause damage to a board.
ALWAYS connect yourself, via an arm-wrist strap, to the advised ESD connection
point located on the rear of the system (to the right of the power connector).

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

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

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 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.

2-3-4-3 Purpose of the DICOM Network Function

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) 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 on­board 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.

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

To configure the Voluson™S8 ultrasound unit to work with other network connections, the network
administrator must provide some necessary information.

The connection of the Voluson™S8 ultrasound unit to a power source should be performed by a
qualified person who has completed basic Voluson™S8 System User Training. Use only the power
cords, cables and plugs provided by or designated by GE to connect the unit to the power source.

Prior to connect the Voluson? unit to a power source, verify compliance with all electrical and

!! CAUTION:

!! WARNING:

!! CAUTION:

safety requirements. Check the power cord to verify that it is intact and of hospital-grade.
Products equipped with a power source (wall outlet) plug should be connected to the fixed
power socket that has a protective grounding conductor. Never use an adapter or converter to
connect with a power source plug (for example, a three-prong to two-prong converter).

The unit’s power must be supplied from a separate, properly rated outlet to avoid risk
of fire. Refer to Section 2-2-2-1 "Voluson™S8 Power Requirements" on page 2-3 for
rating information. The power cord should not, under any circumstances, be altered to
a configuration rated less than that specified for the current.

Whenever disconnecting the Voluson? system from the electrical outlet, always observe the
safety precautions. First unplug the main power cable from the wall outlet socket, then from the
unit itself. Remove by pulling on the cable connector - DO NOT pull on the cable.

The Voluson™S8 requires all covers!

!! CAUTION:

Operate this system only when all board covers and frame panels are securely in place.
The covers are required for safe operation, good system performance and cooling purposes.

3-6-2 Power On / Boot Up

3-6-2-1 Scanner Power On

1.) Connect the Main Power Cable to the back of the system.

2.) Connect the Main Power Cable to a hospital grade power outlet with the proper rated voltage.

3-6-2-2 Back End Processor Boot Up

When AC power is applied to the scanner, the ON/OFF button on the control panel illuminates amber,

!! NOTICE:

indicating that the System (including the Back-end Processor) is in Standby mode.

4.) Hold down the On/Off

button (see: Figure 3-14) on the control panel for ~3 seconds.

NOTE: The mains outlet of the system for peripheral auxiliary equipment are commonly switched with the

ON/OFF button. The power switch of any attached printer(s) needs to be in ON position before starting
the system. However, be aware some auxiliary equipment may switch itself to standby mode
(e.g., Color video printer) and must therefore be switched on separately.

When the ON/OFF button on the control panel is pressed, the System (including the Back-end
Processor) starts and the operating system is loaded which then leads the application software to
activate the scanner.

The system automatically performs an initialization sequence which includes the following:

- Loading the operating system.

- Running a quick diagnostic check of the system.

- Detecting connected probes

As soon as the software has been loaded, the system enters 2D-Mode with the probe and application
that were used before the system was shut down.

NOTE: Total time used for start-up is about 2 minutes.

5.) Adjust Height of control console.
