General requirements
Invenia ABUS 2.0 environmental requirements
If the Invenia ABUS 2.0 is very cold or hot
When unpacking the Invenia ABUS 2.0, allow the temperature
of the Invenia ABUS 2.0 to stabilize before powering up. The
following table describes guidelines for reaching operational
temperatures from storage or transport temperatures.
Cooling
The cooling requirement for a typical console Ultrasound system
with monitor and on board peripherals, is up to 3800 BTU/h.
This figure does not include cooling needed for lights, people, or
other equipment in the room.
NOTE: Each person in the room places an additional 300 BTU/h
demand on the cooling system.
Lighting
Bright light is needed for Invenia ABUS 2.0 setup, 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
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) which could degrade image
quality. These controls should be selected to minimize possible
interference.
CAUTION
If the Invenia ABUS 2.0 is very cold or hot, do not turn on its
power until it has had a chance to acclimate to its operating
environment.
