EMC, EMI and ESD
1-10 EMC, EMI and ESD
1-10-1 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
interference from its environment or when the device produces
unacceptable levels of emission to its environment. 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 of
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.
1-10-2 CE Compliance
Versana Active conforms to all applicable conducted and
radiated emission limits and to immunity from electrostatic
discharge, radiated and conducted RF fields, magnetic fields
and power line transient requirements.
For applicable standards, refer to the Safety Chapter of the
Ultrasound system User’s Manual.
NOTE: For CE Compliance, it is critical that all covers, screws,
shielding, gaskets, mesh, clamps, are in good condition,
installed tightly without skew or stress. Proper installation
following all comments noted in this service manual is required
in order to achieve full EMC performance.

Introduction
1-10-3 Electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention
WARNING DO NOT touch any boards with integrated circuits prior to

taking the necessary ESD precautions.
Always connect yourself, via an arm-wrist strap, to the advised
ESD connection point located on the rear of the Ultrasound
system (near the power connector).
Follow general guidelines for handling of electrostatic sensitive
equipment.
WARNING Risk of electrical shock, Ultrasound system must be turned off.

The cooling requirement for a console Ultrasound system with

monitor and on board peripherals, is up to 3800 BTU/h. This
figure does not include cooling needed for lights, people, or
other equipment in the room.
NOTE: Each person in the room places an additional 300 BTU/h
demand on the cooling system.
2-2-2-4 Lighting
Bright light is needed for Ultrasound system installation, updates

and repairs. However, operator and patient comfort may be
optimized if the room light is subdued and indirect. 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.

Site Preparations
2-2-3 Electrical requirements
2-2-3-1 General requirements
NOTE: GE requires a dedicated power and ground for the proper

operation of its Ultrasound equipment. This dedicated power
shall originate at the last distribution panel before the Ultrasound

The dedicated line shall consist of one phase, a neutral (not
shared with any other circuit), and a full size ground wire from
the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
Sites with a mains power system without a defined Neutral:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase (two lines), not
shared with any other circuit, and a full size ground wire from the
distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
NOTE: Please note that image artifacts can occur, if at any time within
the facility, the ground from the main facility's incoming power
source to the Ultrasound system is only a conduit.
2-2-3-2 Electrical requirements for the Ultrasound system

2-2-4 EMI limitations

Ultrasound systems are susceptible to Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) from radio frequencies, magnetic fields, and
transients in the air or wiring. They also generate EMI. The
Ultrasound system complies with limits as stated on the EMC
label. However there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
Possible EMI sources should be identified before the Ultrasound
system is installed.
Electrical and electronic equipment may produce EMI
unintentionally as the result of a defect. Some of these sources
include:
• medical lasers
• scanners
• cauterizing guns
• computers
• monitors
• fans
• gel warmers
• microwave ovens
• light dimmers
• mobile phones
• in-house wireless phones (DECT phones)
• wireless computer keyboard and mouse
• air conditioning system
• High Frequency (HF) surgery equipment
• general AC/DC adapters
• portable phones
The presence of a broadcast station or broadcast van may also
cause interference.
See: 2-2-4-1 ‘EMI prevention/abatement’ on page 2-10 for EMI
prevention tips.

Site Preparations
2-2-4-1 EMI prevention/abatement
Table 2-5: EMI prevention/abatement
EMI RULE DETAILS
Be aware of Radio • Keep the Ultrasound system at least 5 meters (15 feet) away from other EMI
Frequency sources sources.
• Special shielding may be required to eliminate interference problems caused by
high frequency, high powered radio or video broadcast signals.
Ground the Poor grounding is the most likely reason an Ultrasound system will have noisy
Ultrasound system images. Check grounding of the power cord and power outlet.
Replace all screws, • After you finish repairing or updating the Ultrasound system, replace all covers
Radio Frequency and tighten all screws.
gaskets, covers, • Any cable with an external connection requires a magnet wrap at each end.
cores • Install all covers. Loose or missing covers or Radio Frequency gaskets allow
radio frequencies to interfere with the ultrasound signals.
Replace broken If more than 20% or a pair of the fingers on an Radio Frequency gasket are
Radio Frequency broken, replace the gasket. Do not turn on the Ultrasound system until any loose
gaskets metallic part is removed.
Do not place labels Where applicable, never place a label where Radio Frequency gaskets meet the
where Radio Ultrasound system. Otherwise, the gap created will permit Radio Frequency
Frequency gaskets leakage. Or, if a label has been found in such a position, move the label.
touch metal
Use GE specified The interconnect cables are grounded and require ferrite beads and other
harnesses and shielding. Also, cable length, material, and routing are all important; do not change
peripherals from what is specified.
Take care with Cellular phones may transmit a 5 V/m signal; that could cause image artifacts.
cellular phones
Properly route Where applicable, do not allow cables to lie across the top of the Card Rack or
peripheral cables hang out of the peripheral bays. Loop the excess length for peripheral cables
inside the peripheral bays. Attach the monitor cables to the frame.

• 2-3-2 ‘Purchaser responsibilities’ on page 2-13
• 2-3-3 ‘Required facility needs’ on page 2-14
• 2-3-4 ‘Desirable features’ on page 2-15
• 2-3-5 ‘Minimal floor plan suggestion’ on page 2-16
• 2-3-6 ‘Recommended floor plan suggestion’ on page 2-17
• 2-3-8 ‘Networking setup requirements’ on page 2-19

Facility needs
2-3-2 Purchaser responsibilities

The work and materials needed to prepare the site is the
responsibility of the purchaser. Delay, confusion, and waste of
manpower can be avoided by completing pre-installation work
before delivery. Purchaser responsibility includes:
• Procuring the materials required
• Completing the preparations before delivery of the
Ultrasound system
• Paying the costs for any alterations and modifications not
specifically provided in the sales contract
NOTE: All electrical installations that are preliminary to the positioning
of the equipment at the site prepared for the equipment must be
performed by licensed electrical contractors. Other connections
between pieces of electrical equipment, calibrations, and testing
must also be performed by qualified personnel. The products
involved (and the accompanying electrical installations) are
highly sophisticated and special engineering competence is
required. All electrical work on these products must comply with
the requirements of applicable electrical codes. The purchaser
of GE equipment must only utilize qualified personnel to perform
electrical servicing on the equipment.
The desire to use a non–listed or customer provided product or
to place an approved product further from the Ultrasound
system than the interface kit allows, presents challenges to the
installation team. To avoid delays during installation, such
variances should be made known to the individuals or group
performing the installation at the earliest possible date
(preferably prior to the purchase).
The ultrasound suite must be clean prior to delivery of the
Ultrasound system. Carpet is not recommended because it
collects dust and creates static. Potential sources of EMI
(electromagnetic interference) should also be investigated
before delivery. Dirt, static, and EMI can negatively impact
Ultrasound system reliability.

2-4 Environmental Dangers
Commercial devices such as laser cameras, printers, VCRs and external monitors,
usually exceed allowable leakage current limits and, when plugged into separate AC
outlets, are in violation of patient safety standards. Suitable electrical isolation of such
external AC outlets, or providing the device with extra protective earth, will be required
in order to meet UL60601-1 and IEC60601-1 / IEC60601-1-1 standards for electrical
leakage.
2-4-1 Patient Vicinity UL60601-1 (USA)
2.12.20DV (UL60601-1:2003)
In area in which patients are normally cared for, the patient vicinity is the space with
surfaces likely to be contacted by the patient or attendant who can touch the patient.
This encloses a space within the room 1.83 m (6 ft.) beyond the perimeter of the bed
(examination table, dental chair, treatment booth, and the like) in its intended location,
and extending vertically 2.29 m (7.5 ft.) above the floor.

Environmental Dangers
2-4-2 Patient Environment IEC60601-1 and ANSI AAMI ES60601-1
Sub Clause 3.79 and figure A.9 (IEC60601-1:2005 and ANSI AAMI
ES60601-1:2005)
Such an area is an environment in which medical diagnosis, monitoring or treatment is
carried out. It is very difficult to attach unique dimensions to the PATIENT
ENVIROMENT.
In practice a distance of 2,5 m (8.2 ft.) above the floor on which the medical personnel
stand and a horizontal distance of 1,5 m (4.9 ft.) have justified themselves as
indicative of the dimensions of the Patient Environment.
The patient environment/vicinity will be depicted as a dashed line in this procedure.

Figure 3-8. Assign User Configurable Key

System Setup
3-7-3 LDAP
Versana Active Ultrasound System support integration with
LDAP compliant directory servers. If the system is configured to
use LDAP (Utility/LDAP), the access control and user
authentication is performed with use of services from the
connected directory server. The authentication will be done by
the directory server, while the access control to the system is
done with data received from the directory server.
3-7-3-1 Identity Provisioning
3-7-3-1-1 Management of user accounts

When using LDAP, the user accounts on the directory server
(DS) must be managed outside the Versana Active Ultrasound
System. It will not be possible to change user passwords or any
other properties of the user accounts from the Versana Active
Ultrasound System.
3-7-3-1-2 User information stored on the system

In general, there should be no user information stored on the
system if LDAP is used. Users that are defined in the local user
management system will remain on the system, with exception
of the ADM user, these accounts will not be active.
To be able to log on to the system with no network connectivity,
the system has an option for caching of LDAP user information.
This can be enabled by a system administrator.
If caching is enabled, the system will have time limited storage
of user information received from the DS. See 3-7-3-5 ‘Caching
of users’ on page 3-25 for more information.
3-7-3-1-3 Username and password restrictions

The systems restrictions for usernames and passwords are:
• Usernames can be 1 - 32 characters long.
• Password can be 0 - 256 characters long.
3-7-3-2 Username and password policies
When using LDAP, username and password policies are

managed by the DS. The local username and password policy
on the system will then have no effect on LDAP users.

3-7-3-3 User Authentication
When a user is logging in, the system will send an

authentication request with the entered user credentials to the
configured DS. If the authentication is successful and the user
has access rights to the system, the user will be granted access.
3-7-3-4 Assigning Access Rights
The access right to the system is controlled by the DS

authentication of the user, together with use of the user’s DS
group membership. To get access to a system, a user must be a
member of one or more DS groups specified on the Versana
Active Ultrasound system.
DS group membership is used to assign the user privileges on
the system.
When configuring a Versana Active Ultrasound System to use
LDAP, proper user groups must be created or identified on the
DS. The users of the system must be assigned the proper DS
group membership.
For example, users that are going to use the system as
“Sonographer” can be part of a
“Versana_Active_Utrasound_Sonographers” DS group, while
users going to be have “Sys admin” rights could be part of a
“SysAdmin” group.
There is a group mapping tool in the system’s Utility/LDAP page.
Use this tool to map DS groups to operator groups on the
Versana Ultrasound system.
3-7-3-5 Caching of users
To enable off line usage, the systems support caching of user

information and off-line authentication. The caching can be
turned on / off by a system administrator.
For a user to be able to log on when off line, he/she must
previously have performed a successful logon on the system
when on-line, and still have valid (i.e. not timed out) cached user
information on the system.
The caching is time-limited per individual user. The lifetime of
the cached information is configurable. If the lifetime has
expired, the user will not be able to log on when offline. The time
stamp is reset when a successful on-line authentication is done
by the user.

3-9-4 Setup connection to a DICOM server

Versana Active is configured to work with DICOM servers in a
network environment. Images are first saved on the local image
butter on the system. At the end of the examination the images
are sent to the DICOM server via a DICOM spooler and to the
local database, depending on dataflows.
To connect to the DICOM server, the following information has to
be entered in the system.
• The DICOM server IP address
• The DICOM server port number
• The DICOM server AE title (the server application's name)
Table 3-18: Utility ->Connectivity ->TCP/IP screen
1 Enter the Versana Active computer name. This may be the same as the station name.
2 Enter the Versana Active IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and network speed. For
automatic assignment of IP address, subnet mask and default gateway, select DHCP.
Note: If possible, set the Versana Active network Speed to match that of the Network
switch. if in doubt, set it to AutoDetect. Otherwise, transfer times can be two or five times
longer, during which the Versana Active will appear to be locked up. (If the Hard Drive
activity light on the front of the console is lit steady or blinks quickly, the Versana Active is
most likely not hung.)

services use this to identify the Versana Active.) AE title is case-sensitive. This title
may contain the Computer Name from the TCP/IP page, if desired.
Note: It is NOT recommended to use the factory default. This is not prohibited, but
more than one system with the same AE title can cause confusion.

3-9-6 How to Setup and Use a DICOM Image Storage Service

An Image Storage Service provides a place to store patient and
exam data from Versana Active and corresponding images. The
Image Storage Service, or the device that hosts it, is often called
a Patient Archiving and Communication System (PACS).
Table 3-21: Setup an Image Storage Service
1 In Utility -> Connectivity -> Service, from the Destination Device drop-down menu, select the
device on which the service resides. (This assumes you have already setup the device in the
Device tab in ‘How to Setup and Use a DICOM Image Storage Service’ on page 3-81 .
2 From the Select Service Type to add drop-down menu, select DICOM Image Storage and press
Add.
3 Change the name of the service to one of your choosing.
4 Enter the AE Title and port Number of the service. AE Title is case-sensitive.
5 Save your changes and then press Verify. A “Smiley Face” indicates successful communication
with the service.
Note: If you get a successful Ping (Smiley Face) at the device level but not at the
service level, it is possible that the AE Title or Port Number of the service settings are
incorrect. Ensure that these are correct then re-verify. Be sure that the service type
(Store, Print, etc) is correct and supported by the device.

3-9-7 Dataflow
CAUTION DO NOT rename the factory default dataflow.
A dataflow is a set of pre-configured services. When you select

to the services associated with the dataflow. The Dataflow tab
allows you to select and review information about dataflows. You
can also create, change, and remove dataflows.
Set up dataflows for the services.
NOTE: You must be logged on as Administrator to use the Dataflow tab.

Assigning print buttons. First select the print button to configure
on the upper, left corner of the page. Then select the device you
want to add in the middle part of the page, under Available Input/
Outputs. Then click on the right arrow in the top right corner of
the page.
NOTE: You can configure each print key to multiple output devices/
dataflows.
NOTE: Only attach one DICOM service per print key (e.g., PACS and
DICOM printer). Multiple DICOM devices should be configured
via a dataflow.
NOTE: When using a print key to send an image directly to a DICOM
device, this causes a single DICOM association per image. Most
devices (all known printers) work fine with this. However, some
storage devices, such as ALI, Kodak Access, and Cemax,
assume that the end of each association is the end of the exam
and can result in a new folder for each image. In the Utility
menu, select a single association or open PR for the desired
DICOM storage device.

4-4-10 PW Doppler Mode Checks
PW Doppler are used to measure velocity (most often in blood).

Doppler mode can be done with a special pencil probe or with
an ordinary probe. By using an ordinary probe, you can first
bring up a 2D picture for navigation purpose and then add PW
Doppler.
• Connect one of the probes to the scanner.

• See 4-4-13 ‘Probe/Connectors Check’ on page 4-68 for info
about connecting the probes.
For available probes, see 9-3-4 ‘Probe’ on page 9-6:
• If needed, adjust the Display’s Brightness and Contrast
setting.
Press PW to start Pulsed Wave Doppler (PW).
Use the trackball to select the Area of Interest (Sample
Volume) in PW.

4-4-10-3 Adjust the PW Doppler Mode controls
Adjust the Active mode gain to set the gain in the spectral
Doppler area.
• Adjust Wall Filter to reduce unwanted low velocity blood
flow and tissue movement.
In PW mode, adjust Volume to low setting for better
resolution, or higher setting to more easily locate the
disturbed flows.
Adjust the Compression setting to balance the effect of
stronger and weaker echoes and obtain the desired intensity
display.
Adjust Frequency to optimize flow display. Higher setting
will improve resolution and the lower setting will increase the
depth penetration.
Adjust Frame rate to a higher setting to improve motion
detection, or to a lower setting to improve resolution.
NOTE: Frequency and Frame rate settings may affect the Low
Velocity Reject.
Adjust Power Output to obtain an acceptable image using
the lowest setting possible. This is particularly important in
CW mode, as the energy duty cycle is 100% (constant).
NOTE: The Doppler Power setting affects only Doppler operating
modes.
Adjust the following settings to further optimize the display
of the image.
Use the Sweep Speed to optimize the sweep speed.
To view signal detail, adjust Scale to enlarge the vertical
spectral Doppler trace.
Use Invert to reverse the vertical component of the spectral
Doppler area of the display.
Use Angle Correct to steer the ultrasound beam to the
blood flow to be measured.

setting.
Press User Configurable Key to get into TVI.
Use the trackball (assigned function: Pos) to position the
ROI frame over the area to be examined.
Press Set. The instruction Size should be highlighted in the
trackball status bar.
NOTE: If the trackball control pointer is selected, press trackball to
be able to select between Position and Size controls.
Use the trackball to adjust the dimension of the ROI.

4-4-11-3 Adjust the TVI Controls
• To reduce quantification noise (variance), the Nyquist limit

should be as low as possible, without creating aliasing. To
reduce the Nyquist limit: Reduce the Scale value.
NOTE: The Scale value also affects the frame rate. There is a trade
off between the frame rate and quantification noise.
TVI provides velocity information only in the beam direction.
The apical view typically provides the best window since the
beams are then approximately aligned to the longitudinal
direction of the myocardium (except near the apex). To
obtain radial or circumferential tissue velocities, a
parasternal view must be used. However, from this window
the beam cannot be aligned to the muscle for all the parts of
the ventricle.
NOTE: PW will be optimized for Tissue Velocities when activated
from inside TVI.

7-5 Common Service Desktop

This section describes the features of the Service desktop.
These are the different levels of access to the Service desktop:
• Service Basic access (Class A) - a user locally logged into
the machine with Local Service Access privilege. This level
provides limited access to Service desktop widgets and
utilities.
• Service Expert, Pro, and Advanced access (Class C) Local -
Depending on the purchase level, includes an option string
to control access.
• GE Service access (Class M) and an SSA key. For users
with local Service Access privileges, this level provides
unrestricted access to all Service desktop widgets and
utilities.
• Remote access - a user remotely accessing the Versana
Active. This level provides unrestricted access to all Service
desktop widgets and utilities. Disruptive mode is limited to
the user access privileges to Remote Service Access.

7-5-2 Disruptive mode

Disruptive mode is a way to control interruptions to operation of
the Versana Active. Disruptive mode is required whenever
service performs a function that may disrupt a normal scan.
Activating Disruptive mode results in a red message displayed
on the task bar. This message indicates that the Versana Active
needs to be restarted once the service activity is complete. The
message remains until the Versana Active is restarted. This
prevents patient scanning while the Versana Active is not
operating at an optimal status. For example, running a
diagnostic may leave the Versana Active in a state that is not
good for imaging.
Specifically, Disruptive mode is required to run diagnostics,
clean presets, and reset the patient database, and turn on
Virtual Console Observation (VCO).
• When Disruptive mode is On, all service functionality on the
Service desktop is allowed but user operation of the
Versana Active may be limited.
• When Disruptive mode is Off, some service functionality on
the Service desktop is not available and user operation of
the Versana Active is normal.
Additionally, the ability to enable Disruptive mode depends on
the logged in user.
• Local user - a user locally logged into the machine will be
able to set the Versana Active to Disruptive mode or allow a
Disruptive mode request from a remote user through the
Service desktop. The local user must have Authorize
Remote Service Access to allow Disruptive mode. If the
local user does not have this right, the remote user’s
request will be automatically denied
• Remote user - a user remotely accessing the Versana
Active will not be able to automatically switch Disruptive
mode to On. The logged in user (user actually logged on to
the Versana Active) needs to have the ability to grant
remote access. The logged in user will be notified through a
dialog box and asked to allow Disruptive mode.
NOTE: Change Password and Disk Defragment are not available
for the remote user whether Disruptive mode is On or Off.
For more information, see:7-5-2 ‘Disruptive mode’ on page 7-15

Ultrasound system and peripherals. These procedures
are intended to maintain the quality of the Ultrasound
system’s performance. Read this chapter completely
and familiarize yourself with the procedures before
performing a task.

Warnings
10-2 Warnings
DANGER BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE ULTRASOUND SYSTEM

POWER PLUG AND OPEN THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER
BEFORE YOU REMOVE ANY PARTS. BE CAUTIOUS
WHENEVER POWER IS STILL ON AND COVERS ARE
REMOVED.
CAUTION Practice good ESD prevention. Wear an anti–static strap when

handling electronic parts and even when disconnecting/
connecting cables.
CAUTION Do not pull out or insert circuit boards while power is on.
CAUTION Do not operate this Ultrasound system unless all board covers
and frame panels are securely in place. System performance
and cooling require this.

10-3 Why do maintenance
10-3-1 Periodic maintenance inspections

It has been determined by engineering that your Versana Active
does not have any high wear components that fail with use,
therefore no Periodic Maintenance inspections are mandatory.
However, some customers’ Quality Assurance Programs may
require additional tasks and or inspections at a different
frequency than listed in this manual.
10-3-2 Keeping records

It is good business practice that ultrasound facilities maintain
records of periodic and corrective maintenance. The Ultrasound
Periodic Maintenance Inspection Certificate provides the
customer with documentation that the Ultrasound system is
maintained on a periodic basis.
A copy of the Ultrasound Periodic Maintenance Inspection
Certificate should be kept in the same room or near the
Ultrasound system.

Why do maintenance
10-3-3 Quality assurance

In order to gain accreditation from organizations such as the
American College of Radiology (USA), it is the customer’s
responsibility to have a quality assurance program in place for
each Ultrasound system. The program must be directed by a
medical physicists, the supervising radiologist/physician or
appropriate designee.
Routine quality control testing must occur regularly. The same
tests are performed during each period so that changes can be
monitored over time and effective corrective action can be
taken.
Testing results, corrective action and the effects of corrective
action must be documented and maintained on the site.
Your GE service representative can help you with establishing,
performing and maintaining records for a quality assurance
program. Contact GE for coverage and/or price for service.

10-4 Maintenance task schedule
10-4-1 How often should maintenance tasks be performed?

The Care and Maintenance task schedule (provided in
Table 10-1 on page 10-6) specifies how often your Versana
Active should be serviced and outlines items requiring special
attention.
NOTE: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the Versana Active
care and maintenance is performed as scheduled in order to
retain its high level of safety, dependability and performance.
Your GE Service Representative has an in-depth knowledge of
your Versana Active and can best provide competent, efficient
service. Contact GE for coverage information and/or price for
service.
The service procedures and recommended intervals shown in
the Care and Maintenance Task Schedule assumes that you
use your Versana Active for an average patient load (10-12 per
day) and not use it as a primary mobile Ultrasound system
which is transported between diagnostic facilities.
NOTE: If conditions exist which exceed typical usage and patient load,
then it is recommended to increase the periodic maintenance
frequencies.

10-6-5-2 Basic probe care
The Ultrasound system user manuals and various probe

handling cards provide a complete description of probe care,
maintenance, cleaning and disinfection. Ensure that you are
completely familiar with the proper care of GE probes.
Ultrasound probes can be easily damaged by improper
handling. See the User Manual and probe care cards for more
details. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious
injury and equipment damage. Failure to properly handle or
maintain a probe may also void its warranty.
Any evidence of wear indicates the probe cannot be used.
Do a visual check of the probe pins and Ultrasound system
sockets before plugging in a probe.
The Interoperative probes often have special considerations and
individual probe user manuals. For Interoperative probes also
refer to their separate user manuals.

System maintenance
10-6-5-3 Basic probe cleaning
To clean the probe:

1. Disconnect the probe from the ultrasound console and
remove all coupling gel from the probe by wiping with a soft
cloth and rinsing with flowing water.
2. Wash the probe with mild soap in lukewarm water. Scrub the
probe as needed using a soft sponge, gauze, or cloth to
remove all visible residue from the probe surface. Prolonged
soaking or scrubbing with a soft bristle brush (such as a
toothbrush) may be necessary if material has dried onto the
probe surface.
CAUTION Do not submerge the probe above the probe as the strain relief
is not sealed. Do not allow fluid into or onto the connector of
the probe.
CAUTION Take extra care when handling the lens face of the Ultrasound
transducer. The lens face is especially sensitive and can easily
be damaged by rough handling. NEVER use excessive force
when cleaning the lens face.
3. Rinse the probe with enough clean potable water to remove

all visible soap residue.
4. Air dry or dry with a soft cloth.
WARNING To help protect yourself from blood borne diseases, wear

approved disposable gloves. These are made of nitrile derived
from vegetable starch to prevent allergic latex reactions.
CAUTION Failure to follow the prescribed cleaning or disinfection

procedures will void the probe’s warranty.
DO NOT soak or wipe the lens with any product not listed in the
User Manual. Doing so could result in irreparable damage to
the probe.
Follow care instructions that came with the probe.
CAUTION Disinfect a defective probe before you return it. Be sure to tag
the probe as being disinfected.

10-6-5-4 Disinfecting probes
Ultrasound probes can be disinfected using liquid chemical

germicides. The level of disinfection is directly related to the
duration of contact with the germicide. Increased contact time
produces a higher level of disinfection.
For information about probe disinfectants, please refer to the
latest version of the ultrasound system user manuals.
CAUTION Review the probe care card that is packed with each probe.

10-7 Electrical safety tests
10-7-1 Safety test overview

The electrical safety tests in this section are based on and
conform to IEC 60601-1 Medical Equipment Safety Standards.
They are intended for the electrical safety evaluation of
cord-connected, electrically operated, patient care equipment. If
additional information is needed, refer to the IEC 60601-1
documents
WARNING THE USER MUST ENSURE THAT THE SAFETY

INSPECTIONS ARE PERFORMED AT LEAST EVERY
12 MONTHS ACCORDING TO HISTORICAL DATA.
ONLY TRAINED PERSONS ARE ALLOWED TO
PERFORM THE SAFETY INSPECTIONS MENTIONED
ABOVE.
DANGER TO MINIMIZE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, ONLY

TRAINED PERSONS ARE ALLOWED TO PERFORM THE
ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSPECTIONS AND TESTS.
DANGER TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, THE ULTRASOUND

SYSTEM UNDER TEST MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO
OTHER ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. REMOVE ALL
INTERCONNECTING CABLES AND WIRES. THE
ULTRASOUND SYSTEM UNDER TEST MUST NOT BE
CONTACTED BY USERS OR PATIENTS WHILE
PERFORMING THESE TESTS.
CAUTION Possible risk of infection. Do not handle soiled or contaminated

probes and other components that have been in patient
contact. Follow appropriate cleaning and disinfecting
procedures before handling the equipment.

10-7-1 Safety test overview(continued)

Prior to initiating any electrical test, the Ultrasound system must
be visually inspected. Perform the following visual checks:
• Check for missing or loose enclosure covers that could
allow access to internal live parts.
• Examine the mains cord, mains plug and appliance inlet for
damaged insulation and adequacy of strain relief and cable
clamps.
• Locate and examine all associated transducers. Inspect the
cables and strain relief at each end. Inspect the transducer
enclosure and lens for cracks, holes and similar defects.
Test the system, peripherals and probes for leakage current.
Excessive leakage current can cause injury or death in sensitive
patients. High leakage current can also indicate degradation of
insulation and a potential for electrical failure. Do not use probes
or equipment having excessive leakage current.
To minimize the risk that a probe may shock someone the
customer should:
• Not use a probe that is cracked or damaged in any way.
• Check probe leakage current:
• Based on your facilities QA program for surface probes.
• Based on your facilities QA program for endocavitary
probes.
• whenever probe damage is suspected.

10-7-2 Leakage current limits

CAUTION Compare all safety-test results with safety-test results of

previously performed safety tests (e.g. last year etc). In case of
unexplainable abrupt changes of safety-test results consult
experienced authorized service personnel or GE for further
analysis.
The following limits are summarized for IEC 60601-1 Medical

Equipment Safety Standards. These limits are GEMS standards

NOTE: *Mains Applied refers to the sink leakage test where mains
(supply) voltage is applied to the part to determine the amount of
current that will pass (or sink) to ground if a patient contacted
mains voltage.
The following tests are performed at the factory and should be
performed at the site. These tests are: chassis leakage current,
and probe leakage current. All measurements are made with an
electrical safety analyzer which should be calibrated and
compliant with AAMI/ESI 1993 or IEC 60601 or AS/NZS 3551.

NOTE: No outlet tester can detect the condition where the Neutral
(grounded supply) conductor and the Grounding (protective
earth) conductor are reversed. If later tests indicate high leakage
currents, this should be suspected as a possible cause and the
outlet wiring should be visually inspected.

10-7-4 Grounding continuity
DANGER ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. THE PATIENT MUST NOT BE

CONTACTED TO THE EQUIPMENT DURING THIS TEST.
Measure the resistance from the third pin of the attachment plug
to the exposed metal parts of the case. The ground wire
resistance should be less than 0.2 ohms. Reference the
procedure in the IEC60601-1.

CAUTION Equipment damage possibility. Never switch the Polarity and

the status of Neutral when the Ultrasound system is powered
ON. Be sure to turn the Ultrasound system power OFF before
switching them using the POLARITY switch and/or the
NEUTRAL switch. Otherwise, the Ultrasound system may be
damaged.
10-7-5-1 Generic procedure
The test verifies the isolation of the power line from the chassis.
The testing meter is connected from accessible metal parts of
the case to ground. Measurements should be made with the unit
ON and OFF, with the power line polarity Normal and Reversed.
Record the highest reading of current.
Figure 10-3. Set Up for Chassis Source Leakage Current, IEC 601-1 Clause 19 -
Continuos Leakage Currents and Patient, Auxiliary Currents
When using the Microguard or a similar test instrument, its

power plug may be inserted into the wall outlet and the
equipment under test is plugged into the receptacle on the panel
of the meter. This places the meter in the grounding conductor
and the current flowing from the case to ground will be indicated
in any of the current ranges. The maximum allowable limit for
chassis source leakage is shown in Table 10-13 on page 10-23.

damaged.
10-7-6-1 Definition
This test measures the current that would flow to ground from
any of the probes through a patient who is being scanned and
becomes grounded by touching some other grounded surface.
NOTE: Some leakage current is expected on each probe, depending on
its design. Small variations in probe leakage currents are normal
from probe to probe. Other variations will result from differences
in line voltage and test lead placement. It is abnormal if no
leakage current is measured. If no leakage current is detected,
check the configuration of the test equipment.
10-7-6-2 Tools
For needed tools, see: 10-5 ‘Tools required’ on page 10-8.

10-7-6-3 Generic procedure on probe leakage current
Measurements should be made with the ground open and

closed, with power line polarity normal and reversed, and with
the unit Off and On. For each combination, the probe must be
active to find the worst case condition.

10-8 When there's too much leakage

current …
10-8-1 AC/DC Fails

Where applicable, check the AC/DC adapter and its cable.
Replace a new one if any portion is defective.
10-8-2 Chassis Fails

Check the ground on the power cord and plug for continuity.
Ensure the ground is not broken, frayed, or intermittent. Replace
any defective part.
Where applicable, tighten all grounds. Ensure star washers are
under all ground studs.
Inspect wiring for bad crimps, poor connections, or damage.
Test the wall outlet; verify it is grounded and is free of other
wiring abnormalities. Notify the user or owner to correct any
deviations. As a work around, check the other outlets to see if
they could be used instead.
NOTE: No outlet tester can detect the condition where the white neutral
wire and the green grounding wire are reversed. If later tests
indicate high leakage currents, this should be suspected as a
possible cause and the outlet wiring should be visually
inspected.

When there's too much leakage current …
10-8-3 Probe Fails

Test the probe in another connector to isolate if the fault lies with
the probe or the Ultrasound system. Or Change another probe
to confirm if the fail is caused by console.
NOTE: Each probe will have some amount of leakage, dependent on its
design. Small variations in probe leakage currents are normal
from probe to probe. Other variations will result from differences
in line voltage and test lead placement. The maximum allowable
leakage current for body surface contact probe differs from
inter-cavity probe. Be sure to enter the correct probe type in the
appropriate space on the check list.
If excessive leakage current is slot dependent, inspect the
system connector for bent pins, poor connections, and ground
continuity.
If the problem remains with the probe, replace the probe.
10-8-4 Peripheral Fails

Tighten all grounds. Ensure star washers are under all ground
studs.
Inspect wiring for bad crimps, poor connections, or damage.
10-8-5 Still Fails

If all else fails, begin isolation by removing the probes, external
peripherals, then the on board ones, one at a time while
monitoring the leakage current measurement.
10-8-6 New Unit

If the leakage current measurement tests fail on a new
Ultrasound system and if situation can not be corrected, submit
a Safety Failure Report to document the Ultrasound system
problem. Remove Ultrasound system from operation.
10-8-7 ECG Fails

Inspect cables for damage or poor connections.
