Equipment failure
Isolating the system
Condensation
WARNING If at any time the system malfunctions, or the image is severely distorted or degraded, or you suspect in any way that the system is not functioning correctly: • Remove all transducers from contact with the patient. • Turn off the system. Unplug the system from the wall and make sure it cannot be used until it has been checked. • Do not try to repair the system yourself. • Contact your BK Medical representative or hospital technician.
WARNING The power supply cord connects the system to the line voltage. To isolate the system, you must unplug the power supply cord from the wall outlet. Do this before you try to make any repairs to the system.
Caution: Large variations in temperature or humidity may cause water to condense inside the system. If this happens, the system may fail to operate properly. Always let the system come to room temperature before you plug it in. • Wait at least 2 hours after the system has been subjected to major changes in temperature or humidity. • If there is visible evidence of condensation, wait at least 8 hours.
Before you use the system, make sure that all the safety requirements described in this chapter have been satisfied.

Pro Focus 2202 User Guide (BB1247-W)
Explosion Hazards
Explosion hazards
WARNING The ultrasound system is not designed to be used in potentially explosive environments. It should not be operated in the presence of flammable liquids or gases, or in oxygen-enriched atmospheres. There is a possible explosion hazard if the system is used in the presence of flammable anesthetic. The system should be placed at least 25cm (10 inches) from the patient. The ultrasound system contains a lithium battery. Never remove or replace this battery. The lithium battery must not be removed except by a BK Medical service representative.
Electrical Safety
Do not use a power strip
Leakage current
Electrical shock
WARNING Do not plug the system into an ordinary power strip. If the ground connection fails, this is dangerous because • the total leakage current for all the connected equipment can exceed the limits specified in EN/IEC 60601-1 [2]. • the impedance of the ground connection will probably also exceed the limits specified in EN/IEC 60601-1.
WARNING When the equipment is used with 230V (and you believe the leakage current would be within the UL limit if you were using 120V), power to the equipment must come from an installation or supply unit with a center-tapped, 240V single-phase circuit. This will make sure that chassis leakage current during single fault condition fulfills the requirements specified in UL60601-1 [4] (limit of 300μA). If power is not supplied in the way specified, the leakage current can be as high as 500μA, the limit specified in EN/IEC 60601-1 [2].
WARNING Never remove the cover to get access to the inside of the scanner. You risk electrical shock if you do so. Do not allow anyone but qualified service personnel to service the scanner.
ESD Training The ESD Symbol Anyone using the equipment must be able to recognize the ESD symbol and understand how to take the necessary precautionary procedures, as described in the caution below.
ESD
Caution: Do not touch pins in connectors that have the ESD symbol . Do not connect anything to them unless you follow these ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautionary procedures: • Discharge your body to ground before you touch the pins with your hand or a tool. For example, touch an unpainted metal part of the system cover. • You can use a wrist strap connected to the additional protective ground or potential equalization terminal on the scanner if that is more convenient.

Interference The Pro Focus 2202 Ultrasound System is suitable for use in all establishments, other than domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Electrical Noise
Electrical noise
WARNING Electrical noise from nearby devices such as electrosurgical devices – or from devices that can transmit electrical noise to the AC line – may cause disturbances in ultrasound images. This could increase the risk during diagnostic or interventional procedures.
Electromagnetic Interference Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) [6]. You must follow the instructions in this chapter when you install the system and put it into service. If the image is distorted, it may be necessary to position the system further from sources of electromagnetic interference or to install magnetic shielding.
Other equipment nearby
WARNING Do not use this equipment adjacent to other equipment. If you must place it next to or stacked with other equipment, verify that it operates normally there and neither causes nor is affected by electromagnetic interference.
EMC noise can reduce the usable image depth. Therefore, in order to avoid having to repeat an ultrasound examination, you must make sure beforehand that the ultrasound system can be used for the examination. Repeating an examination can be regarded as a potential risk that should be avoided, especially if the examination involves transducers used intracorporeally or transducers used for puncture.
RF (Radio Frequency) Interference Portable and mobile RF (radio frequency) communication equipment can affect the system, but the system will remain safe and meet essential performance requirements. An ultrasound system intentionally receives RF electromagnetic energy for the purpose of its operation. The transducers are very sensitive to frequencies within their signal frequency range (0.3MHz to 50MHz). Therefore RF equipment operating in this frequency range can affect the ultrasound image. However, if disturbances occur, they will appear as white lines in the ultrasound picture and cannot be confused with physiological signals. Caution: Other equipment may interfere with the system, even if that other equipment complies with CISPR (International Special Committee on Radio Interference) emission requirements.
14 Chapter 1
July 2014
Pro Focus 2202 User Guide (BB1247-W)
Caution: If you use accessories, transducers or cables with the system, other than those specified, increased emission or decreased immunity of the system may result.
Installation
Installation safety requirements
Original power cords
Secure the power supply cord
WARNING To ensure safe performance, a qualified electrical engineer or hospital safety personnel must verify that the ultrasound system is correctly installed and that it complies with the safety requirements described below: • Use only the original power supply cord. This must be fitted with a hospital-approved three-prong grounded power plug. See “Power Supply Cord” on page 76. • Use only the original monitor power cord to connect the monitor to the system. • The equipment must only be connected to a grounded AC power supply (or wall outlet) that meets EN/IEC/NEC requirements or applicable local regulations. The examination room’s grounding system should be checked regularly by a qualified electronics engineer or hospital safety personnel. • Never use extension cords. The increased length of the cord will increase the resistance of the protective ground conductor beyond an acceptable level. • Keep power cords, sockets and plugs clean and dry at all times.
If the original power cords are missing or damaged, you must order new ones from your local BK Medical representative. WARNING Make sure that the power supply cord cannot be accidentally disconnected from the wall or the system.
Transducers
Electrical shock
Type B transducers
Electrical burns
WARNING The transducer sockets contain terminals with 5V. Do not touch the patient while you are touching an uncovered socket.
WARNING When using Type B (non-isolated) transducers, carefully check all electrical equipment within the patient area. Also, consider using additional protective grounding.
WARNING Do not leave transducers in contact with the patient when using HF electrosurgical equipment.
BK Medical transducers fulfill EMC requirements when they are outside as well as inside the patient’s body.
Pro Focus 2202 User Guide (BB1247-W)
General and Safety Information
15
Surface temperature on array
WARNING Do not turn the transducer on and allow it to scan into mid-air without ultrasound gel applied to the surface of the array. Doing so may cause the surface temperature on the array to heat up to 27 °C above room temperature (measured according to EN60601–2–37 [3]). To avoid this, freeze the image when the transducer is not used for imaging.
WARNING C-J-1 CreutzfeldtJakob disease
Do not use a transducer for neurosurgical applications if the patient is suspected of having Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. If a neurosurgical transducer has been used on a patient suspected of or diagnosed as being Creutzfeldt-Jakob positive, the transducer must be destroyed, following approved procedures for your hospital.
Care Please refer to the Care, Cleaning & Safety manual for information about caring for transducers.
Remote Control If you use a wireless remote control UA1237 with the system, be sure to read about how to use it in Chapter 3, “The User Interface”. The remote control uses short wave radio waves to communicate with the system.
Active at a distance
WARNING The remote control is active at a distance of at least 10 meters from the system, even if the system is in a different room.
Caution: The remote control can be disrupted by other equipment operating at the same frequency of 2.5 GHz.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1 This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2 This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Other Safety Considerations Mechanical failure or unintended use of ultrasound equipment can result in physical injury to patients or operators.
16 Chapter 1
July 2014
Pro Focus 2202 User Guide (BB1247-W)
Mechanical injury
WARNING Be careful to avoid the following potential sources of injury: • Parts of the body can be pinched by moveable parts of the system, such as the keyboard panel and the monitor. • Tilting the system can cause it to be unstable and injure someone. • Do not lean or sit on the keyboard or any other part of the system. The keyboard panel or monitor can break if subjected to heavy weights or impact.
Measurements Pay careful attention when you position cursors to make measurements on an image or on a Doppler curve.
Polygon measuring tool
Using Doppler curves
Nuchal translucency
WARNING When you use the polygon measuring tool, if the sides of the polygon intersect (as in forming a curve like a figure eight, for example), the area calculation is incorrect. In this case, the calculated area of the polygon is the area of the bigger loop minus the area of the smaller loop.
WARNING Drawings of Doppler curves, manual and automatic, are meant as tools for positioning cursors so that measurements based on the curves can be calculated automatically. The system has no facilities for checking whether the automatic measurements are reasonable. Curves drawn on very noisy spectra may lead to misplacement of measurement cursors. Make sure that measurement cursors are positioned so that the results are reasonable. If they are not, you must adjust the position of the cursors manually.
Caution: You must be adequately trained before you attempt to make nuchal translucency measurements.
Vector Flow Imaging1 WARNING Artifacts
Before you turn on VFI, check the B-mode image to make sure there are no artifacts visible in the blood vessel. If there are strong artifacts in the B-mode image, the arrows in VFI may be pulled to point in a more axial direction (toward or away from the transducer), especially in low flow situations with correspondingly low PRF. These artifacts will not affect the color mode (CFM) image, so it is important to check in B-mode.
WARNING Arrow aliasing
Check to make sure the VFI arrows are not aliasing before you activate the assisted Doppler gate placement. Otherwise, the Doppler gate will not be positioned correctly.
1. VFI is not licensed by Health Canada.
Pro Focus 2202 User Guide (BB1247-W)
General and Safety Information

WARNING Diameter markers
Check to make sure that the diameter markers correspond to the inner vessel wall and that the connecting line between the markers is perpendicular to the direction of the vessel. Otherwise, the real-time volume flow measurement may not be precise.
WARNING Doppler gate large enough
Check to make sure that the Doppler gate covers the entire vessel. Otherwise, the realtime volume flow measurement may not be precise.
WARNING Doppler gate over only one vessel
Check to make sure that the Doppler gate only covers one vessel. Otherwise, the real-time volume flow measurement may not be precise.
WARNING Doppler spectrum aliasing
Check to make sure that the Doppler spectrum does not alias. Otherwise, the real-time volume flow measurement may not be precise.
Puncture and Brachytherapy WARNING If you create a user-defined brachy matrix, it is your responsibility to verify that the matrix that appears on the monitor corresponds to the physical brachy matrix you are using.
WARNING Changes you make to the offset of a programmable puncture guide or brachy matrix will affect ALL programmable puncture guides and brachy matrices. This could lead to incorrect puncture lines or matrix positions for a different guide than the one you wanted to change.
3D Safety Considerations Pay particular care to the following safety issues when operating the 3D system. For more detailed 3D operating instructions see the Extended User Guide.
Untracked freehand
WARNING You cannot make accurate measurements on a 3D data set acquired using the untracked freehand method.
If you start to make a measurement on a 3D data set acquired using the untracked freehand method, the following warning appears on the monitor to remind you that the measurement will not be accurate. Warning on monitor

Caution: You must perform a virus check on any external storage medium (USB device or CD) to make sure that it is virus-free before you connect it to the system.
Wireless Networks1 The system can be connected to a wireless network for printing and archiving data. This requires the optional wireless license for the system, and a Wi-Fi adapter that is supplied by BK Medical when you buy this option. The Wi-Fi adapter is inserted into one of the USB connectors located on the rear of the system (see Fig 4-2 in Chapter 4, “Technical Guide” on page 71). Caution: Do not use a USB extension cable to connect a Wi-Fi adapter to the system. If you do, the wireless network may become unstable due to electromagnetic interference.
For information on how to install a license on the system, see the Setting Up and Customizing Your System chapter in the Pro Focus 2202 Advanced User Guide (BB1946). 1. Wi-Fi on Pro Focus 2202 UltraView systems has not been licensed by Health Canada.
