Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
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 to
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
Vivid E80/E90/E95 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
Ultrasound system’s User’s Manual.
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.

Bright light is needed for Ultrasound system installation, updates
and repairs. However, operator and patient comfort may be
optimized if the room light is subdued and indirect. Therefore a
combination lighting system (dim/bright) is recommended. Keep
in mind that lighting controls and dimmers can be a source of
EMI which could degrade image quality. These controls should
be selected to minimize possible interference.

General Ultrasound system requirements
EMI limitations
Ultrasound systems are susceptible to Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) from radio frequencies, magnetic fields, and
transients in the air or wiring. They also generate EMI. The
Ultrasound system 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 Ultrasound
system is installed.
Electrical and electronic equipment may produce EMI
unintentionally as the result of a defect. Some of these sources
include:
• medical lasers
• scanners
• cauterizing guns
• computers
• monitors
• fans
• gel warmers
• microwave ovens
• light dimmers
• mobile phones
• in-house wireless phones (DECT phones)
• wireless computer keyboard and mouse
• air conditioning system
• High Frequency (HF) surgery equipment
• general AC/DC adapters
The presence of a broadcast station or broadcast van may also
cause interference.
See: ‘EMI prevention/abatement’ on page 2-8 for EMI
prevention tips.

• Keep the Ultrasound system 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.

peripheral cables
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 could
cause image artifacts.
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.

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

Facility needs
Purchaser responsibilities (continued)
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 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) shou ld als o be inve stig at ed
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.
DICOM option setup requirements
To configure the Ultrasound system to work with other network
connections, the site’s network administrator must provide
information to complete the form “Worksheet for DICOM
Network Information”. Ensure that there ar e no spaces in any
field of the form.
Entries must include:
• A host name, local port number, AE Title, IP address and
Net Mask for the Ultrasound system.
• The IP addresses for the default gateway and other routers
at the site for ROUTING INFORMATION.
• The host name, IP address, port and AE Title for each
device the site wants connected to the Ultrasound system
for DICOM APPLICATION INFORMATION. A field for the
make (manufacturer) and the revision of the device, is also
included. This information may be useful for error solving.

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 stand ar ds. 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.
Patient Vicinity UL60601-1 (USA)
2.12.20DV (UL60601-1:2003)
In area in which patients are normally cared for, the patient vicinity is the space with
surfaces likely to be contacted by the patient or attendant who can touch the patient.
This encloses a space within the room 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.
