Getting started 10Vivid7/Vivid7 PRO Users Manual FC092326-03 Introduction Only qualified physicians or ultrasound sonographers should perform scans of patients for medical diagnostic reasons. Request training, if needed. Ensure that unauthorized personnel do not tamper with the unit. Service representatives authorized by GE Ultrasound will unpack and install the unit. Do not attempt to install the unit alone. Never set liquids on the unit in order to avoid spillage into the unit or the control panel. Maintain a clean environment. Turn off the circuit breaker before cleaning the unit. Refer to ’System Care and Maintenance’ on page 454 for cleaning instructions. To carry out regular preventative maintenance refer to Chapter 13, ’User maintenance’ on page 453. WARNINGAll the warnings in Chapter 14, ’Safety’ on page 461, should be read and understood before operating the unit.
Getting started Vivid7/Vivid7 PRO Users Manual11 FC092326-03 Preparing the unit for use The Vivid 7/Vivid 7 PRO ultrasound unit must operate within the proper environment and in accordance with the requirements described in this section. Before using the system, ensure that the requirements are met. Site requirements Optimal operation of the unit can be obtained by implementing the following requirements: Power requirements The Vivid 7/Vivid 7 PRO ultrasound unit uses a separate power outlet for 100–120 VAC or 230 VAC, 50–60 Hz. Operating Environment Ensure that there is sufficient air flow around the Vivid 7/ Vivid 7 PRO ultrasound unit when installed in a fixed location. Environmental requirements The Vivid 7/Vivid 7 PRO ultrasound unit requires constant maintenance of its operational environment. Different temperature and humidity requirements are specified for operation, storage and transportation. WARNINGOperating the unit with the wrong voltage range causes damages, voiding the factory warranty. Requirement Temperature Humidity Air Pressure Operational 10-40 ºC 30-85% 700-1060 hPa Storage -10-60 ºC 30-95% 700-1060 hPa Transport -10-60 ºC 30-95% 700-1060 hPa
Getting started 12Vivid7/Vivid7 PRO Users Manual FC092326-03 Electromagnetic interferences The Vivid 7/ Vivid 7 PRO ul- trasound unit is ap- proved for use in hospitals, clinics and other environ- mentally qualified facilities, in terms of the prevention of ra- dio wave interfer- ence. Operation of the unit in an inap- propriate environ- ment can cause electronic interfer- ence to radios and television sets situ- ated near the medi- cal equipment.Ensure that the unit is protected from electromagnetic interferences as follows: • Operate the unit at least 4.5 meters (fifteen feet) away from equipment that emits strong electromagnetic radiation. • Shield the unit when operating it in the vicinity of radio broadcasting equipment, if necessary. Connecting the unit A GE-qualified person should perform the initial system installation. Connecting the Vivid 7/Vivid 7 PRO ultrasound unit involves preliminary checks of the power cord, voltage level and compliance with electrical safety requirements. Use only power supply cords, cables and plugs provided by or designated by GE Medical Systems. Ensure that the power cord and plug are intact and that the power plug is the proper hospital-grade type (where required). The unit should be connected to a fixed power socket which has the protective grounding connector. Never use an extension cord or adapter plug. Voltage level check Check the label near the circuit breaker on the rear side of the system (see Figure 1-1). WARNINGFailure to provide an adequate earth circuit can cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.

Getting started 14Vivid7/Vivid7 PRO Users Manual FC092326-03 Connecting to the electrical outlet 1. Ensure that the wall outlet is of appropriate type, and that the power switch is turned off. 2. Uncoil the power cable, allowing sufficient slack so that the unit can be moved slightly. 3. Secure the power plug in the wall outlet. Refer to page 381 for further informa- tion on peripherals.Peripheral/Accessor y connection The external I/O connector is situated on the rear side of the unit See Figure 1-10. WARNINGPOWER OUTAGE MAY OCCUR. The Vivid 7/Vivid 7 PRO requires a dedicated single branch circuit. To avoid circuit overload and possible loss of critical care equipment, make sure you DO NOT have other equipment operating on the same circuit. The unit’s power must be supplied from a separate, properly rated outlet to avoid risk of fire. Refer to ’Power requirements’ on page 11 for rating information. The power cord should not, under any circumstances, be altered to a configuration rated less than that specified for the current. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug. WARNINGAccessory equipment connected to the analogue and digital interfaces must be certified according to the respective IEC standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 (1988) for medical equipment). Any person connecting additional equipment to the signal input part or output part is configuring the medical system, and is therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1 (2000). If in doubt, consult the technical service department or your local representative. Do not touch the conducting parts of the USB or Ethernet cables when connecting equipment to the unit.
