Chapter 1 Safety
A medical device can either generate or receive electromagnetic interference. The EMC standards
describe tests for both emitted and received interference.
Samsung Medison Ultrasound Systems do not generate interference in excess of the referenced
standards.
An Ultrasound System is designed to receive signals at radio frequency and is therefore susceptible to
interference generated by RF energy sources. Examples of other sources of interference are medical
devices, information technology products, and radio and television transmission towers. Tracing the
source of radiated interference can be a dicult task. Customers should consider the following in an
attempt to locate the source:
X Is the interference intermittent or constant?
X Does the interference show up only with one transducer operating at the same frequency or
with several transducers?
X Do two dierent transducers operating at the same frequency have the same problem?
X Is the interference present if the system is moved to a dierent location in the facility?
The answers to these questions will help determine if the problem resides with the system or the
scanning environment. After you have answered the questions, contact your local Samsung Medison
Customer Service.
