EMC, EMI, and ESD
1-9-1 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 referred 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.
NOTE: The Vivid™ S60N/Vivid™ S70N ultrasound scanner needs special precautions regarding EMC and
needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in the
accompanying documents (supplied with the system).
NOTE: Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the Vivid™ S60N/Vivid™ S70N
ultrasound scanner.
1-9-2 CE Compliance
The Vivid™ S60N/Vivid™ S70N 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.
NOTE: For applicable standards refer to the Safety Chapter in the Vivid™ S60N/Vivid™ S70N User Manual.
NOTE: For EMC Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declarations, refer to the tables provided in Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) Prevention on page 1 - 25 .
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.
WARNING WARNING
THE USE OF ACCESSORIES, TRANSDUCERS AND CABLES OTHER THAN THOSE
SPECIFIED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TRANSDUCERS AND CABLES SOLD BY THE
MANUFACTURER OF THE VIVID™ S60N/VIVID™ S70N AS REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR
INTERNAL COMPONENTS, MAY RESULT IN INCREASED EMISSIONS OR DECREASED
IMMUNITY OF THE VIVID™ S60N/VIVID™ S70N.
WARNING WARNING
THE VIVID™ S60N/VIVID™ S70N SHOULD NOT BE USED ADJACENT TO OR STACKED
WITH OTHER EQUIPMENT AND THAT IF ADJACENT OR STACKED USE IS
NECESSARY, THE VIVID™ S60N/VIVID™ S70N SHOULD BE OBSERVED TO VERIFY
NORMAL OPERATION IN THE CONFIGURATION IN WHICH IT WILL BE USED.
