1-3-4-2-1 Safety and Environmental Guidelines

WARNING: 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:

A) ADDITIONAL EARTH PROTECTION

OR:
B) AN EXTRA ISOLATING TRANSFORMER

WARNING:
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 surf aces 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.) ab ove
the floor.

1-4-3 Vivid i n/ Vivid q N Battery Safety

The lithium ion battery provides power when an AC power so urce is not available. L ithium ion batteries
last longer than conventional batteries and do not require replacement as often. You can expect one
hour of battery life with a single, fully-charged battery.

The lithium ion technology used in the system’s battery is significantly less hazardous to the
environment than the lithium metal technology used in some other ba tteries (such a watch batteries).
Used batteries should not be placed with common household waste products. Contact local authorities
for the location of a chemical waste collection program nearest you.

NOTE: Regulations vary for different countries. Dispose of a used battery in accord ance with local regulations.

Note: When charging the battery for the first time after long-term storage, recover the battery

pack to original performance through repeating several cycles of full charging and
discharging.

NOTE:

When shipped, the Vivid i n/ Vivid q N battery is in a state of being approximately 30% charged. Before use, it is
necessary to fully charge and discharge the battery pack up to 3 times, in order to utilize Li-lon smart packs.

Important:

• For Vivid i n and Vivid q N portable ultrasound scanners supplied from the factory with a dummy
battery, when unpacking the unit, do not discard the dummy battery.

• When charging the Vivid i n or Vivid q N lithium ion battery on an external charger, since the battery
in fact forms one of the four legs of the scanner, removing it will leave the unit standing unbalanced.
For this reason, the dummy battery should be kept, so it may be inserted in position to provide
stability to the scanner while the lithium ion battery is being charged.

• In addition, use of the dummy battery is recommended during transportation or long-term storage
of the Vivid i n and Vivid q N portable ultrasound scanner.

Section 1-5 EMC, EMI, and ESD

1-5-1 Electromagnetic Compatibility (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. This interference is often refe rred to as
radio–frequency or electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI) and can be radiated through space or
conducted over interconnecting power or 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.

The Vivid i n/ Vivid q N system and the SafeL ock Cart sho uld be oper ated at a dis tance of more
than 15 feet from any magnetic field.

1-5-2 CE Compliance

The Vivid i n and Vivid q N portable ultrasound scanner 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 in the Vivid i n and Vivid q N User Manual.

NOTE: For CE Compliance, it is critical that all covers, screws, shielding, gaskets, mesh and clamps are in good

condition and 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.

1-5-3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Prevention

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH ANY BOARDS WITH INTEGRATED CIRCUITS PRIOR TO

TAKING THE NECESSARY ESD PRECAUTIONS:

1.ALWAYS CONNECT YOURSELF, VIA AN ARM-WRIST STRAP CONNECTED TO THE
BOTTOM COVER WHENEVER YOU OPEN THE SYSTEM FOR MAINTENANCE.

2-2-5-5 Power Stability Requirements

• Voltage drop-out

Max 10 ms.

Note: Only relevant if system is operating without a battery.

• Power Transients

(All applications)
Less than 25% of nominal peak voltage for less than 1 millisecond for any type of transient, including

line frequency, synchronous, asynchronous, or aperiodic transients.

2-2-6 EMI Limitations

Ultrasound machines are susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from radio frequencies,
magnetic fields, and transients in the air or wiring. They also gener ate EMI. The Vivid i n and Vivid q N
ultrasound units comply with limits as stated on the EMC label. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.

NOTE: Possible EMI sources should be identified before the unit is installed, and should not be on the

same line as the ultrasound system. A dedicated line sh ould 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.

GE HEALTHCARE
DIRECTION FQ091013, REVISION 1 VIVID I N AND VIVID Q N SERVICE MANUAL

2-2-6 EMI Limitations (cont’d)

The following table lists recommendations for preventing EMI:

Table 2-5 EMI Prevention/ Abatement

EMI Rule Details

Ground the unit.

Be aware of RF sources.

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.

Properly address peripheral
cables.

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 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.

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

1.) The Vivid i n/Vivid q N portable ultrasound scanner weighs only 5 Kgs (11 lbs). (This is the weight
of the scanner without any optional accessories). However since the SafeLock Cart weighs
approximately 40 kg (88 lbs), two persons are always required to unpack it.

2.) There are no operator-serviceable components. To prevent shock, do not remove any covers or

panels. Should problems or malfunctions occur, unplug the power cord. Only qualified service
personnel should carry out servicing and troubleshooting.

3-2-2-1 System Acclimation Time

Following transport, the Vivid i n/ Vivid q N system may be very cold, or hot. Allow time for the system
to acclimate before being switched ON. Acclimation requires 1 hour for each 2.5

CAUTION

WHEN USING ANY TEST INSTRUMENT THAT IS CAPABLE OF OPENING THE
AC GROUND LINE (I.E., METER’S GROUND SWITCH IS OPEN), DO NOT TOUCH
THE UNIT!

Two people are required to unpack the SafeLock Cart, as it is heavy. Two people are always
required whenever a part weighing 19kg (35 lb.) or more must be lifted.

If the unit is very cold or hot, do NOT turn ON power to the unit until it has had sufficient time to
acclimate to its operating environment.

To prevent electrical shock, connect the unit to a properly grounded power outlet.
Do NOT use a three-prong to two-prong adapter, as this defeats safety grounding.

To ensure proper grounding, connect this equipment to a receptacle marked "HOSPITAL ONLY"
OR "HOSPITAL GRADE".

Do NOT wear the ESD wrist strap when you work on live circuits where more than
30 V peak is present.

Do NOT operate the unit unless all board covers and frame panels are securely in place, to
ensure optimal system performance and cooling. (When covers are removed, EMI may be
present).

WARNINGWARNING

For Vivid i n and Vivid q N portable ultrasound scanners supplied from the factory with
a dummy battery, when unpacking the unit, do not discard the dummy battery.

When charging the Vivid i n or Vivid q N lithium ion battery on an external charger, since
the battery in fact forms one of the four legs of the scanner, removing it will leave the
unit standing unbalanced. For this reason, the dummy battery should be kept, so it may
be inserted in position to provide stability to the scanner while the lithium ion battery
is being charged.

In addition, use of the dummy battery is recommended during transportation or
long-term storage of the Vivid i n and Vivid q N portable ultrasound scanner.

Section 3-6 Ensuring Protection from EMI

The Vivid i n/ Vivid q N unit has been designe d to minimize the effects of Electro-Mag netic Interference
(EMI). Many of the covers, shields, and screws are provided primarily to protect the system from image
artifacts caused by this interference. For this reason, it is imperative that all covers and hardware are
installed and secured before the unit is put into operation.

Ensure that the system is protected from electromagnetic interference (EMI), as follows:

• Operate the system at least 15 feet away from equipment that emits strong electromagnetic
radiation.

• Operate the system in an area enclosed by walls, floors and ceilings comprised of wood, plaster or
concrete, which help prevent EMI.

• Shield the system when operating it in the vicinity of radio broadcast equipment, if necessary.

• Do not operate mobile phones or other EMI emitting devices in the ultrasound room.

• Verify that all EMI rules listed in the following table are followe d :

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 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 needed.

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.

Use GE specified harnesses
and peripherals.

Take care with cellular
phones.

Properly address peripheral
cables.

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.
Loop any peripheral cable excess length inside the peripheral bays or hang on the hooks
provided below the console. Attach the monitor cables to the frame.
