The ultrasound system is an extremely sensitive and complex medical system.
Any unauthorized peripherals may cause system failure or damage!

The Voluson® 730Expert is equipped with an isolation transformer to provide the required separation
from mains for both, the system and the auxiliary devices.
One AUX main outlet is located at the primary power supply. It is used for connecting the threefold
splitter whose outlets are led to the shelves intend for auxiliary devices (e.g., printers) and the AUX main
outlet that is accessible on the back of the control console.

The IEC 60601-1-1 standard provides a guideline for safely interconnecting medical devices in systems.
“Equipment connected to the analog or digital interface must comply with the respective IEC/UL
standards (e.g. IEC 60950 / UL 60950 for data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 / UL 60601-1
for medical equipment). 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.

!! NOTICE:

!! CAUTION:

!! CAUTION:

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 netwo rks 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.

* 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
that the connections are safe.

If in doubt, consult the technical service department or your local representative.

The leakage current of the entire system including any / all auxiliary equipment must not exceed
the limit values as per EN 60601-1-1:1990 (IEC 60601-1-1) respectively other valid national or
international standards. All equipment must comply with UL, CSA and IEC requirements.

Please observe that some printers may not be medical devices! If the Bluetooth Printer and/or

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/EM I) and can be r ad iated th ro ugh
space or conducted over interconnecting power of signal cab les. 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 refer to Chapter 2 in the Basic User Manual of the Voluson® 730Expert.

1-4-2 Compliance

The Voluson® 730Expert 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.

2-2-3 EMI Limitations

Ultrasound systems are susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from radio frequencies,
magnetic fields, and transients in the air or wiring. Ultrasound machines also generate EMI.
The Voluson® 730Expert 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 unit is installed.

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 oven

• light dimmers

• portable phones

• broadcast stations and mobile broadcasting machines

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.
Loop the excess length for peripheral cables inside the peripheral bays.
Attach the monitor cables to the frame.

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 follow e d :

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

Standby switch. The switch of printers has to be in ON position before starting the system.
However, be aware some auxiliary equipment may switch itself to standby mode when
Standby power is on (e.g., Color video printer) and must therefore be switched on separately.

When the ON/OFF Standby switch left below 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.
