CAUTION: If the system has been in storage or has been transported, please see the acclimation

Cooling Requirements
The cooling requirement for the Vivid i n and Vivid q N ultrasound unit environment is
3500 BTU/hr. This figure does not include the cooling required for lights, people, or other equipment in
the room.
NOTE:
Each person in the room places an additional 300 BTU/hr demand on the environmental
cooling.
2-2-3
Lighting Requirements
For system installation, updates and repairs, bright lighting is required. However, operator and patient
comfort may be optimized if the room lighting is subdued and indirect when a scan is being performed.
Therefore, a combination lighting system (dim/bright) is recommended. Keep in mind that lighting
controls and dimmers can be a source of EMI which could degrade image quality. These controls should
be selected to minimize possible interference.
2-2-4
Time and Manpower Requirements
Site preparation takes time. Begin pre-installation checks as soon as possible to allow sufficient time to
make any required changes. If possible, begin these checks as many as six weeks before system
delivery.
CAUTION: Only one person is required to unpack the Vivid i n or Vivid q N ultrasound unit; at least
two people must be available to roll the system down the wheeling ramp. Attempts to move the
system considerable distances (or on an incline) by one person alone, could result in personal
injury, and/or damage to the system.
