Storage and Archive

Figure 1-5. Connection through a PACS

The Workstation provides temporary storage for approximately
200 patient studies. The workstation can be configured to
maintain 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 percent of the available disk space
free to ensure good workstation performance. If free space
reaches a percentage under the configured limit specified by the
user, a warning appears when logging into the Invenia ABUS
application. Old reviewed studies are then deleted (oldest first)
overnight or when the workstation is powered up the next time.
Transfers from the Invenia ABUS Scan Station are rejected if
free disk space falls below 5%. Scans will not transfer to the
Workstation if there is not enough disk space. Suspended or
un-reviewed studies are never automatically deleted in this
manner. Deleted studies can only be re-displayed if the whole
study was stored to PACS or external storage and re-imported.

Introduction

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

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.

Compliance

Invenia ABUS 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 of the
Invenia ABUS Scan Station and Invenia ABUS Workstation and
Invenia ABUS Review Software User’s Manuals.

NOTE: 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.

EMI prevention/abatement

Table 2-3: EMI prevention/abatement

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

Take care with
cellular phones

• Keep the Invenia ABUS Scan Station 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.

Cellular phones may transmit a 5 V/m signal; that could cause image artifacts.

Site Preparations

Purchaser responsibilities

The work and materials needed to prepare the site is the
responsibility of the purchaser. Delay, confusion, and waste of
manpower can be avoided by completing pre-installation work
before delivery. Purchaser responsibility includes:

• Procuring the materials required

• Completing the preparations before delivery of the
Ultrasound system (See Site Survey Planner below).

• 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.

Facility needs

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).

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.

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.

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.

System Setup

Position of the Tilt & Shock indicators

The Tilt & Shock indicators have been attached to the
transportation crate.

NOTE: Before cutting the straps, check Shock and Tilt Tags to make

sure they have not been triggered. If damaged, report it to the
carrier. If not, then cut the straps around the crate.

If Shock Indicator has triggered or is missing

The purpose of a shock indicator label is NOT to tell if a product
has been damaged during shipment. The purpose of these
labels are 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 insure that the product is not damaged. Some degree of
inspection is still required.

Table 3-3: Shock Indicator has triggered or is missing

Step Tas k

1. 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.

2. Inspect the product for possible concealed damage.

If Tilt Indicator has triggered or is missing

The purpose of the tilt indicator label is to alert people handling a
product that it is sensitive to tipping and it must remain upright at
all times. It is basically an active "Up Arrow" that changes color if
the package is tipped 89 degrees or more from horizontal.
These labels can be false activated if tipped less than 89
degrees, and shocked or vibrated at the same time. This event
does occur, but is considered uncommon. If a package is
received with an activated tilt indicator label, there is high
degree of certainty it tipped 89 degrees or more from horizontal
during shipment.

An activated tilt indicator label does not indicate if the package
was simply “Tipped” (laid down with no impact shock) or “Tipped
Over” (free fall, with an impact shock). Using both shock
indicator labels and tilt indicator labels will help identify if a Tip
Over impact shock occurred.
