During normal operation, the ultrasound system is designed to display ultrasound images
without noise, artifacts, or distortion that cannot be attributed to physiological effects.
Observe the peripheral equipment connections and patient environment shown in the following
diagram to support the normal operation of the ultrasound system.
Example of a peripheral equipment connection and patient environment.
