Electromagnetic Interference
Warning: The Vevo 3100 Imaging System should never be used where safety could be
affected by the malfunction of medical devices.
The Vevo 3100 Imaging System is designed for use in preclinical laboratories and is not
cleared for use with or in the vicinity of active medical devices. High levels of
electromagnetic energy may interfere with the operation of the Vevo 3100 Imaging
System. Furthermore, the Vevo 3100 Imaging System could affect the safe operation of
sensitive medical devices.
Caution: To avoid the risk of increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
immunity, use only accessories and peripherals recommended by VisualSonics.
Connection of accessories and peripherals not recommended by VisualSonics could
cause your ultrasound system to malfunction or cause other medical electrical devices in
the area to malfunction.
Caution: The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified
(with the exception of transducers and cables sold by VisualSonics as replacement parts
for internal components) may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of
the Vevo 3100 Imaging System.
Chemicals
Warning: If any part of the Vevo 3100 Imaging System is in contact with hazardous
chemicals or biological materials, appropriate precautions must be taken by all who
come into contact with the Vevo 3100 Imaging System until the device is declared
completely free of harmful contamination.
Cart Movement
Warning: The Vevo 3100 Imaging System is both delicate and heavy.
Careless moving and rough handling can damage the system and cause injury to others
(e.g., rolling over feet, colliding with people or walls). Never use the system if there is
damage to the cart, cables or accessories.
Warning: Do not position the cart and its accessories in a way that makes it difficult to
disconnect the plug from the socket.
Magnetic Field Sensitivity
Caution: DO NOT situate the Vevo 3100 Imaging System close to large clinical magnets
as the magnetic fields may affect the performance of the Vevo 3100 Imaging System
and cause distortion in the acquired image.
