EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
NOTE:  This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio 
frequency energy. The equipment may cause radio frequency 
interference to other medical and non-medical devices and radio 
communications. To provide reasonable protection against such 
interference, this product complies with emissions limits for a 
Group 1, Class A Medical Devices Directive as stated in EN 
60601-1-2. However, there is no guarantee that interference will 
not occur in a particular installation.
NOTE:  If this equipment is found to cause interference (which may be 
determined by turning the equipment on and off), the user (or 
qualified service personnel) should attempt to correct the 
problem by one or more of the following measure(s):
• reorient or relocate the affected device(s)
• increase the separation between the equipment and the 
affected device
• power the equipment from a source different from that of the 
affected device
• consult the point of purchase or service representative for 
further suggestions.
NOTE:  The manufacturer is not responsible for any interference caused 
by using other than recommended interconnect cables or by 
unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment. 
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the users’ 
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE:  To comply with the regulations on electromagnetic interference 
for a Class A FCC Device, all interconnect cables to peripheral 
devices must be shielded and properly grounded. Use of cables 
not properly shielded and grounded may result in the equipment 
causing radio frequency interference in violation of the FCC 
regulations.

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) (continued)
NOTE:  Do not use devices which intentionally transmit RF Signals 
(cellular phones, transceivers, or radio controlled products) in 
the vicinity of the equipment as it may cause performance 
outside the published specifications. Keep the power to these 
type devices turned off when near this equipment.
The medical staff in charge of this equipment is required to 
instruct technicians, patients, and other people who maybe 
around this equipment to fully comply with the above 
requirement.
EMC Performance
All types of electronic equipment may characteristically cause 
electromagnetic interference with other equipment, either 
transmitted through air or connecting cables. The term EMC 
(Electromagnetic Compatibility) indicates the capability of 
equipment to curb electromagnetic influence from other 
equipment and at the same time not affect other equipment with 
similar electromagnetic radiation from itself.
Proper installation following the service manual is required in 
order to achieve the full EMC performance of the product.
The product must be installed as stipulated in 4.2, Notice upon 
Installation of Product.
In case of issues related to EMC, please call your service 
personnel.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any interference caused 
by using other than recommended interconnect cables or by 
unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment. 
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the users’ 
authority to operate the equipment.

networks) should be used no closer to any part of this system, 
including cables, than determined according to the following 
method: 
CAUTIONDo not use devices which intentionally transmit RF signals 
(cellular phones, transceivers, or radio controlled products) in 
the vicinity of this equipment as it may cause performance 
outside the published specifications. Keep the power to these

Notice upon Installation of Product
Separation distance and effect from fixed radio communications 
equipment: field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base 
stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile 
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV 
broadcast transmitter cannot be predicted theoretically with 
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to 
fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be 
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in 
which the ultrasound system is used exceeds the applicable RF 
compliance level as stated in the immunity declaration, the 
ultrasound system should be observed to verify normal 
operation. If abnormal operation is observed, additional 
measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating 
the ultrasound system or using an RF shielded examination 
room may be necessary.
1.  Use either power supply cords provided by GE Medical 
Systems or ones designated by GE Medical Systems. 
Products equipped with a power source plug should be 
plugged into the fixed power socket which has the protective 
grounding conductor. Never use any adaptor or converter to 
connect with a power source plug (e.g. three-prong-to-two-
prong converter).
2.  Locate the equipment as far away as possible from other 
electronic equipment.
3.  Be sure to use only the cables provided by or designated by 
GE Medical Systems. Connect these cables following the 
installation procedures (e.g. wire power cables separately 
from signal cables).
4.  Lay out the main equipment and other peripherals following 
the installation procedures described in the Option 
Installation manuals.

Peripheral Update for EC countries (continued)
General precautions for installing an alternate on-board device 
would include:
1.  The added device must have appropriate safety standard 
conformance and CE Marking.
2.  The total power consumption of the added devices, which 
connect to the LOGIQ 5 and are used simultaneously, must 
be less than or equal to the rated supply of the LOGIQ 5.
3.  There must be adequate heat dissipation and ventilation to 
prevent overheating of the device.
4.  There must be adequate mechanical mounting of the device 
and stability of the combination.
5.  Risk and leakage current of the combination must comply 
with IEC/EN 60601-1.
6.  Electromagnetic emissions and immunity of the combination 
must conform to IEC/EN 60601-1-2.
General precautions for installing an alternate off-board, remote 
device or a network would include:
1.  The added device(s) must have appropriate safety standard 
conformance and CE Marking.
2.  The added device(s) must be used for their intended 
purpose having a compatible interface.
3.  Signal or mains isolation devices and additional protective 
earth may be needed to assure compliance with IEC/
EN 60601-1-1. 
CAUTIONThe connection of equipment or transmission networks other 
than as specified in the user instructions can result in an 
electric shock hazard or equipment malfunction. Substitute or 
alternate equipment and connections requires verification of 
compatibility and conformity to IEC/EN 60601-1-1 by the 
installer. Equipment modifications and possible resulting 
malfunctions and electromagnetic interference are the 
responsibility of the owner.
