ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
This equipment complies with IEC60601–1–2 Edition 2 EMC standard for medical
devices.
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 radiated emissions asperCISPR11 Group 1, Class A standard limits.
Detailed requirements and recommendations about power supply distribution and
installation are listed in the Pre–Installation Manual (pim) shipped with your system.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment is found to cause interference (which may be determined by turning the
equipment on and off), the user (or qualified service personnel) should attempt to correct
the problem by one or more of the following measure(s):
– reorient or relocate the affected device(s)
– increase the separation between the equipment and the affected device
– power the equipment from a source different from that of the affected device
– consult the point of purchase or service representative for further suggestions
The manufacturer is not responsible for any interference caused by using other than
recommended interconnect cables or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this
equipment. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the users’ authority to
operate the equipment.
All interconnect cables to peripheral devices must be shielded and properly grounded. Use
of cables not properly shielded and grounded may result in the equipment causing radio
frequency interference.
Do not use devices which intentionally transmit RF Signals (Cellular Phones, Transceivers,
or Radio Controlled Products) in the vicinity of this equipment as it may cause performance
outside the published specifications. Recommended separation distances are detailed in
the Pre–Installation Manual (pim) shipped with your system. Keep the power to this type of
devices turned off when near this equipment.
The medical staff in charge of this equipment is required to instruct technicians, patients,
and other people who may be around this equipment to comply fully with the above
requirement.
Further data and recommendations for meeting Electromagnetic Compatibility
requirements for a typical installation are given in the Pre–Installation Manual (pim)
shipped with your system. Note that the magnetic field of an MRI device located nearby
may cause a risk of interference. Magnetic field amplitude limits are specified in the
Pre–Installation Manual (pim) shipped with your system.

The SENOGRAPHE DMR is an x-ray system used primarily for mammography
examinations in the standing or sitting position and under various views and magnification
factors.
Breast puncture by tridimensional localization is an additional function by using one of the
following options:
. Stereotix 2,
. Senovision.
If required, the system can provide radiographs of the hand and foot of high image quality.
The major features of the SENOGRAPHE DMR are the dual track x-ray tube, entirely
automatic exposure modes, and its new ergonomic design.
Each of the two anode tracks is composed of a different metal. This allows the best
compromise between contrast and dose given to the patient.
The rhodium (Rh) track provides improved penetration with a reduced radiation dose to the
very dense breast. The molybdenum (Mo) track provides high quality, mammography
images in all other cases.
Standard or magnification examinations can be performed with each track. Focal spot sizes
are: 0.3 for contact exams and 0.1 for magnification exams.
Two modes of automatic exposure are available:
Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) Mode controls density (mAs) and provides
exposures of constant optical density.
Automatic Optimization Parameters (AOP) Mode controls radiation. For a given
priority (dose reduction, contrast quality or compromise of dose and contrast), the AOP
Mode selects the track, filter, and kV. It includes the AEC mode, and provides an automatic
selection of the radiologic parameters (track, filter, kV, and mAs).
The new design ensures speed and convenient positioning, with examination comfort for
the patient.
