Section 1-9
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 Venue Fit™ 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 Venue Fit™ ultrasound scanner.
NOTE: This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. The equipment may cause
radio frequency interference to other medical and non-medical devices and radio communications. To
provide reasonable protection against such interference, this product complies with emissions limits for
a Group 1, Class A Medical Devices Directive as stated in EN 60601-1-2. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
1-9-2 Peripherals used in the patient environment
The Venue Fit has been verified for overall safety, compatibility and compliance with the following image
recording devices:
• USB 2.0/3.0 Flash Drive (Memory Stick)
• USB bar code reader
The Venue Fit has also been verified for compatibility, and compliance for connection to a local area
network (LAN) via the rear panel Ethernet connection, provided the LAN components are IEC/EN 60950
compliant.
An optional Wireless LAN device is available and conforms to IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n WiFi with
Bluetooth 4.0 Standard.
THE USE OF ACCESSORIES, TRANSDUCERS AND CABLES OTHER THAN THOSE
SPECIFIED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TRANSDUCERS AND CABLES SOLD BY THE
MANUFACTURER OF THE Venue Fit™ AS REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR INTERNAL
COMPONENTS, MAY RESULT IN INCREASED EMISSIONS OR DECREASED IMMUNITY
OF THE Venue Fit™ .
THE Venue Fit™ SHOULD NOT BE USED ADJACENT TO OR STACKED WITH OTHER
EQUIPMENT AND THAT IF ADJACENT OR STACKED USE IS NECESSARY, THE Venue
Fit™ SHOULD BE OBSERVED TO VERIFY NORMAL OPERATION IN THE
CONFIGURATION IN WHICH IT WILL BE USED.
