CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 AUDIENCE
The intended audience of this service manual is properly trained field and in-house service personnel. This system is a
medical device containing several circuit boards, extensive service diagnostics, and complex operating software. For these
reasons, Ultrasonix recommends that only trained, certified technical support representatives service this ultrasound system.
1.1.1 Prescription Device
1.2 VOLTAGE DISCLAIMER
The system voltage setting is configured in the factory.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure the system is used only under the electrical conditions dictated by Ultrasonix Medical
Corp. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in damage to the system which is not covered by the Ultrasonix
warranty.
1.3 CONNECTIVITY DISCLAIMER
1.4 PRIVACY DISCLAIMER
To protect patient data, Ultrasonix strongly recommends regular patient/image file back-up and purging of older patient files
stored on the system. Refer to Chapter 9 in the relevant user manual for details on transferring patient data.
1.5 SERVICE DISCLAIMER
Sonix Ultrasound Systems are configured with a variety of options that may not be available on all platforms. Therefore, some
service instructions will apply only to specific models/configurations.
Caution: United States law restricts this device to sale or use by, or on the order of a Physician.
Caution: For users running the 100V-120V system, always ensure the utility supply voltage is 100V-120V @ 50/60 Hz.
For users running the 200V–240V system, always ensure the utility supply voltage is 200V-240V @ 50/60 Hz.
Caution: System networking options are intended for use inside your organization's firewall. Organizations that elect to
configure/use the networking functionality provided by Ultrasonix are assuming all liabilities and risks associated with
that decision.
Caution: For details on FCC regulations as they apply to the wireless adapter, please refer to the manufacturer's User Guide
included with the system.
IMPORTANT: The contents of the system hard drive may include Personal Health Information that must be protected as
dictated by local or state laws (for example, Federal Privacy Act or the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act
(HIPAA)). In order to ensure regulatory compliance, Ultrasonix will not remove the system hard drive – and the patient
data it contains – from the customer site.
In the event the hard drive must be removed from the system, it will be returned to the customer. Final disposition of the
hard drive and its data will remain the customer's responsibility.

3.1.2 Electrical Requirements
Verify the system is to be operated in a room that meets the electrical requirements listed below.
Table 3-4: Electrical Specifications
3.1.2.1 Instrument Input Power Rating
An instrument input power rating has been established to clarify the maximum power requirement of the system
with all accessories. Depending upon the accessories and options installed, the system may not draw the full
amount of power listed below:
Table 3-5: Instrument Power Input Rating
For optimal system performance, use a dedicated, interference-free, isolated, grounded wall outlet. To ensure
grounding reliability, use a hospital-grade power cord and connect it only to an equivalent hospital-grade socket.
The specifications of the hospital-grade power cord as follows:
Table 3-6: Hospital-Grade Power Cord Specifications
Electrical Rating Value
Measurement (System Only) 100V—120V @ 50/60 Hz
200V—240V @ 50/60 Hz
Current Draw (System Only) 120 VAC @ 7.0A
240 VAC @ 4.0A
Power Draw (System Only @ peak) 240 W
Leakage Current (System Only) < 100 uA
Note: Refer to OEM peripheral manuals for peripheral-specific electrical ratings.

3.1.3 Electrostatic Discharge
During normal operation, the presence of electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause system reliability issues. The
following are the most common causes for ESD:
• moving people
• low humidity
• improper grounding
• unshielded cable
• poor connection
• moving machines.
ESD is most likely to occur during periods of low humidity. If the relative humidity is below 50%, static charges can
easily accumulate. ESD generally does not occur when the humidity is above 50%. Any time the charge reaches
approximately 10,000 volts, it is likely to discharge to grounded metal parts.
Although ESD will not hurt humans, it can damage certain electronic devices. The high-voltage pulse can burn out
the inputs of many integrated circuit (IC) devices. This damage might not appear instantly, but it can build up over
time, eventually causing the device to fail.
To prevent damage to the system, use ESD minimizing devices where needed. These devices include: anti-static
mats, humidifiers, and spray. Proper discharge is required before handling any electronic device such as an ESD
strap.
3.1.4 Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the EMC limits for EN 55011, Group 1, Class A and EN
60601-1-2. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical
medical installation. The equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and if not
installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the
vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference with other devices (which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on)
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference with one or more of the following measures:
• reorient or relocate the receiving device
• increase separation distance between equipment
• connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different to that which the other device(s) is connected
• consult the manufacturer or field service technician for help.
Warning: The system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use
is necessary, the system should be observed in order to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it
will be used.

3.1.5 Wiring Requirements
3.1.5.1 Main AC Connection
The electrical feed to the system should be a dedicated/isolated line (no other equipment on the same line) with a
third-wire ground. Ensure a low impedance path for current to return to the source.
3.1.5.2 Ethernet (Hard-Wired) Network Connection
It is the user’s responsibility to provide an Ethernet connection to the system and to install the correct type of cable
in accordance with the building's applicable standards. The commonly used cable is CAT5 (Category 5, 10 Base-T,
unshielded twisted pair).
3.1.5.3 Image Management Network
Obtain the following information from the system administrator:
• list of all equipment that is part of the Image Management network
• logical diagram of the network showing topology, subnets, etc.
• location of all equipment
• location of all LAN (Local Area Network) attachment points
• locations of all power outlets and connector types
• location of any dedicated analog phone line
• all necessary Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and subnet information.
Caution: System networking options are intended for use inside your organization's firewall. Organizations that
elect to configure/use the networking functionality provided by Ultrasonix are assuming all liabilities and risks
associated with that decision.
