EMI Limitations
Ultrasound machines are susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from radio frequencies,
magnetic fields, and transients in the air or wiring. They also generate EMI. The LOGIQ™ 180 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. These
sources include:
•
medical lasers,
•
scanners,
•
cauterizing guns,
•
computers,
•
monitors,
•
fans,
•
gel warmers,
•
microwave ovens,
•
light dimmers
•
portable phones.
The presence of a broadcast station or broadcast van may also cause interference.
