Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The Interson USB powered ultrasound probes have completed and passed EN 60601-1-2 testing.
Like other medical equipment, Interson USB Ultrasound Probes require special precautions to ensure
electromagnetic compatibility with other electrical medical devices. To ensure electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC), Interson USB Ultrasound Probes must be installed and operated according to the
EMC information provided in this manual.
The Interson USB Ultrasound Probes have been designed and tested to comply with IEC 60601-1-2
requirements for EMC with other devices.
See
Appendix H
of this manual for EMC test details.

CAUTION
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment may affect the normal function of the Interson USB
Ultrasound Probes.
Y
CAUTION
Do not use cables or accessories other than those provided with the Interson USB Ultrasound Probe, as
this may result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decrease immunity to such emissions.
Care and Handling of Probes
Although Interson probes are very durable, reasonable care must be taken to avoid damaging them.
Handle the membrane on the tip of the probe and the cable attachment at the other end of the probe
with care. Keep the probe membrane away from sharp objects to avoid damage. Store the probe in its
padded case. This will protect the probe and the delicate scanning membrane. Do not put stress on, or
use the cable to carry the probe, as this may damage the probe and cable. Your probe should give you
many years of reliable service if these simple precautions are followed.
DO NOT OPEN ANY PROBE
Be careful when handling the USB probe. If the USB probe is dropped on a hard surface it can be
damaged.
DO NOT DISCONNECT OR REMOVE USB CABLE FROM THE PROBE
Be sure to keep the USB probe plug dry at all times.
The probe should be cleaned after every use. Regularly check the probe housing and transducer lens for
cracks. Regularly check the cable for cuts, cracks, and kinks. This could also impair the performance of
the probe.
Maintenance
Periodic testing and maintenance of the Interson USB ultrasound probe is
NOT
required.
