Verathon BLADDERSCAN PRIME Operation & Maintenance Manual page 11

CAUTION
To maintain electromagnetic interference (EMI) within certified limits, the system must be
used with the cables, components, and accessories specified or supplied by Verathon
additional information, see the
sections. The use of accessories and/or cables other than those specified or supplied may
result in increased emissions and/or decreased immunity of the system.
Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) and must be installed and operated according to the instructions in this
manual. For more information, see the
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 to verify normal operation in the
configuration in which it will be used.
This device can radiate radio frequency energy and is very unlikely to cause harmful
interference with other devices in the vicinity. There is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. Evidence of interference may include degradation
of performance in this device or other devices when operated simultaneously. To correct
interference, use the following measures:
• Turn devices on and off in the vicinity to determine the source of interference
• Reorient or relocate this device or other devices
• Increase the separation between devices
• Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different than the other device(s)
• Eliminate or reduce EMI with technical solutions (such as shielding)
• Purchase medical devices that comply with IEC 60601‑1‑2 EMC Standards
Be aware that portable and mobile radio frequency communications equipment (cellular
phones, etc.) may affect medical electrical equipment; take appropriate precautions during
operation.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions may cause device damage not covered by the warranty:
• Do not immerse the instrument in cleaning or disinfectant solution.
• Ensure that the console is not exposed to water during the probe cleaning procedure.
• Do not subject any part of the instrument to steam, ethylene oxide, radiation, or similar
