before applying HF surgical currents to the patient. Disconnect the
probe when not imaging
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Ultrasound systems require special precautions regarding EMC and must be
installed and put into service according to the provided information.
Ultrasound units are designed to generate and receive radiofrequency (RF) energy
and are, therefore, susceptible to other RF sources. As an example, other medical
devices, information technology products or TV/radio transmitters may cause
interference with the ultrasound system.
In the presence of RF interference, the physician must evaluate the image
degradation and its diagnostic impact.
Warnings
Portable and mobile RF communication equipment may cause
interference with the ultrasound system. Do not use these devices in
the vicinity of ultrasound equipment.
Use of accessories and cables other than those specified in the
MyLab
“Getting Started” manual may result in increased emission or
decreased immunity of the system.
If an ultrasound system causes interference (This can be identified by turning the
system off and on) with other devices, the user could try to solve the problem by:
relocating the system,
increasing the separation from other devices,
powering the ultrasound system from an outlet different from the one
of the interfering device,
contacting ESAOTE Service personnel for help.
Electro-Surgical Units (ESUs)
Electro-surgical units or other devices that introduce radiofrequency
electromagnetic fields or currents into the patient may interfere with the ultrasound
image. An electro-surgical device in use during ultrasound imaging will grossly
affect the 2D image and render Doppler modalities useless.
Biocompatibility and Infection Control
Before each exam properly clean the probes. Refer to the “Transducers and
Consumables” manual for further details on cleaning and disinfecting probes, kits
and electrodes.
Sensitivity to
interference is more
noticeable in Doppler
modes.
