1-4-4-1 Probes

All the probes for the Venue™ ultrasound unit 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.

• 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 system’s wheels.

Follow these guidelines before connecting a probe to the scanner:

• Inspect the probe prior to each use for damage or degradation to the:

- housing

- cable strain relief

-lens

- seal

- connector pins

- locking mechanism

• Do not use a damaged or defective probe.

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

NOTE: For detailed information on handling endocavity probes, refer to the appropriate supplementary

instructions for each probe. In addition, refer to the Venue™ User Manual for detailed probe handling
instructions.

1-4-4-2-1 Safety and Environmental Guidelines

Do not attempt to use different peripherals & accessories (brand and model connected
via USB ports) other than approved and provided by GE Healthcare! The Ultrasound
system is extremely sensitive and complex medical system. Any unauthorized
peripherals may cause failure or damage!

Environmental Dangers

ALL DEVICES MEETING IEC60950 MUST BE KEPT OUTSIDE THE PATIENT
ENVIRONMENT AS DEFINED IN IEC60601-1-1, UNLESS THE DEVICES, ACCORDING TO
IEC60601-1-1, ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

A) ADDITIONAL FIXED EARTH PROTECTION

OR:

B) AN EXTRA ISOLATING TRANSFORMER

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 the provision of extra protective earth for the device, is
required in order to meet UL60601-1 and IEC60601-1-1 standards for electrical leakage.

• Patient Vicinity UL 60601-1
Sub clause 2.12.20DV - D2 Addition

An area in which patients are normally cared for, the patient vicinity is the space with surfaces likely
to be in contact with the patient or attendant who can touch the patient. This encloses a space within
the room of 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.

• Patient Environment IEC 60601-1-1
Sub clause 2.204

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 ENVIRONMENT. 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

system.

Be aware of Radio
Frequency sources.

Reinstall all screws, Radio
Frequency gaskets, covers,
cores

Replace broken RF gaskets.

Do not place labels where
RF gaskets touch metal.

Use GE-specified harnesses
and peripherals.

Take care with cellular

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 Ultrasound system, reinstall 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.

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 causes image artifacts.

Properly route peripheral
cables.

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.

2-3-1 Purchaser Responsibilities

The work and materials required to prepare the site are the responsibility of the purchaser. purchaser.
Delay, confusion, and waste of manpower can be avoided by completing pre-installation work before
delivery.Use the Pre-setup Check List (provided inTab le 2 -6 on page 2-15) to verify that all the required
steps have been completed.

Purchaser responsibilities include:

• Procuring the materials required.

• Completing the preparations prior to delivery of the ultrasound system.

• Paying the costs of any alterations and modifications not specifically provided for 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

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.

To avoid delays during setup, the individual or team who will perform the setup should be notified at the
earliest possible date (preferably prior to setup), of the existence of any of the following variances:

• Use of any non-listed product(s).

• Use of any customer provided product(s).

• Placement of an approved product further from the system than the interface kit allows.

The prepared site must be clean prior to delivery of the system. Carpeting is not recommended because
it collects dust and creates static. Potential sources of EMI should also be investigated before delivery.
