Returning/Shipping Probes and Repair Parts

Equipment being returned must be clean and free of blood and other infectious substances.
GEMS policy states that body fluids must be properly removed from any part or equipment prior to
shipment. GEMS employees, as well as customers, are responsible for ensuring that parts/equipment
have been properly decontaminated prior to shipment. Under no circumstance should a part or
equipment with visible body fluids be taken or shipped from a clinic or site (for example, body coils or
and ultrasound probe).
The purpose of the regulation is to protect employees in the transportation industry, as well as the
people who will receive or open this package.
NOTE: The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has ruled that "items what were saturated and/or
dripping with human blood that are now caked with dried blood; or which were used or intended
for use in patient care" are "regulated medical waste" for transportation purpose and must be
transported as a hazardous material.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

1-4-1

What is EMC?

Electromagnetic compatibility describes a level of performance of a device within its electromagnetic
environment. This environment consists of the device itself and its surroundings including other
equipment, power sources and persons with which the device must interface. Inadequate compatibility
results when a susceptible device fails to perform as intended due interference from its environment or
when the device produces unacceptable levels of emission to its environment. This interference is often
referred to as radio–frequency or electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI) and can be radiated through
space or conducted over interconnecting power of signal cables. In addition to electromagnetic energy,
EMC also includes possible effects from electrical fields, magnetic fields, electrostatic discharge and
disturbances in the electrical power supply.
For applicable standards refer to Chapter 2 in the Basic User Manual.
