Preparing the System
The information and procedures in this section will help you prepare the system for use.
Preparations include connecting transducers and external devices, locking articulated
components for moving, and ensuring that system operating requirements are met.
Connecting Devices
In addition to the devices installed in the system cart, the system supports external devices.
These devices include printers, a foot switch, and a color monitor.
The system also supports a DVD recorder. This recorder is considered an external device, even
when it is installed on the system. The DVD recorder can be installed before the system is
shipped, or it can be installed later by your Philips representative.
WARNING
When using additional peripheral equipment powered from an electrical source other than
the ultrasound system, the combination is considered to be a medical system. It is your
responsibility to comply with IEC 60601-1 and test the system to those requirements. If you
have questions, contact your Philips representative.
WARNING
Do not use nonmedical peripherals, such as report printers, within 1.5 m (5 ft) of a patient,
unless the nonmedical peripherals receive power from an isolation transformer that meets
medical safety standards, as defined by standard IEC 60601-1.
WARNING
Philips ultrasound systems are tested to the requirements of IEC 60601-1, with on-cart
peripherals that are powered by the built-in system isolation. The system peripherals meet
general electrical safety usage requirements.
