Follow OSHA Lockout/Tagout requirements (USA)  or local Lockout/Tagout requirements by ensuring 
you are in total control of the AC power  plug at all times during the service process.
To apply Lockout/Tagout:
1.) Plan and prepare for shutdown.
2.) Shutdown the equipment.
3.) Isolate the equipment.
4.) Apply Lockout/Tagout Devices.
5.) Control all stored and residual energy.
6.) Verify isolation.
All potentially hazardous stored or residual energy is relieved.
Section 1-8
Returning/Shipping Prob es and Repair Parts
Equipment being returned must be clean and free of blood and other infectious substances.
GEHC policy states that body fluids must be proper ly removed from any part or equipment prior to 
shipment. GEHC employees, as well as customers,  are responsible for ensuring that parts/equipment 
have been properly decontaminated prior to ship ment. 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 
an ultrasound probe). The purpose of the regulati on 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) ha s ruled that “items that 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 wa ste” for transportation purposes and must be 
transported as a hazardous material.
NOTICEEnergy Control and Power Lockout for Vivid 7.
When servicing parts of the system where there  is exposure to voltage greater than 30 Volts:
1.) Turn off the breaker.
2.) Unplug the system.
3.) Maintain control of the system power plug.
4.) Wait for at least 20 seconds for c apacitors to discharge as there are no  test points to verify isolation. 
Beware that the AC Control Box,  Front End Processor and Back End Processor may be energized even 
if the power is turned off  when the cord is still plugged into the AC Outlet.

Section 1-9
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
1-9-1 What is EMC?
Electromagnetic compatibilit y describes a level of performance of  a device within its electromagnetic 
environment. This environment consists of the de vice itself and its surroundings including other 
equipment, power sources and pers ons 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 emi ssion 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 sign al 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.
1-9-2 Compliance
Vivid 7 conforms to all applicable conducted and  radiated emission limits and to immunity from 
electrostatic discharge, radiated an d conducted RF fields, magnetic fields and power line transient 
requirements.
Applicable standards are: 47CFR Part 18, IEC60601–1–2:2001. 
NOTE: For CE Compliance, it is crit ical that all covers, screws, shielding, gaskets, mesh, clamps, are 
in good condition, installed  tightly without skew or stress. Pr oper installation following all 
comments noted in this service manual is required in order to achieve full EMC performance.
1-9-3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Prevention
 
WARNINGWARNINGDO NOT TOUCH ANY BOARDS WITH INTEGRAT ED CIRCUITS PRIOR TO TAKING THE 
NECESSARY ESD PRECAUTIONS: 
ALWAYS CONNECT YOURSELF, VIA AN ARM-WRIST STRAP, TO THE ADVISED ESD 
CONNECTION POINT LOCATED AT THE REAR  OF THE SCANNER (TO THE RIGHT OF 
THE POWER CONNECTOR). 
FOLLOW GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR HANDLING OF ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE 
EQUIPMENT.
