Before installing report printers, comply with the guidellines in the following sections:
n ( Report Printers / Page 5)
n ( Mitigating the Risk of Connecting a Report Printer / Page 7)
n ( Patient Environment / Page 8)
WARNING
Accessory equipment connected to the USB port must be certified according to
the respective EN and IEC standards (for example, EN 60950 and IEC 60950 for da‐
ta processing equipment and EN 60601-1, IEC 62353, and IEC 60601-1 (for medical
equipment)). Furthermore, all configurations shall comply with the system stand‐
ard EN 60601-1-1 and IEC 60601-1-1, and EN 62353, IEC 62353.
Anyone who connects additional equipment to the signal input or signal out‐
put port configures a medical system and is therefore responsible that the
system complies with the requirements of the system standard EN 60601-1-1,
IEC 60601-1-1, and EN 62353, IEC 62353. Siemens can only guarantee the per‐
formance and safety of the devices listed in the Accessories and Options chap‐
ter of the System Reference (shipped with the ultrasound imaging system). If
in doubt, consult the Siemens Uptime Service Center.
WARNING
Equipment connected to the ultrasound system and in the patient environment
must be powered from a medically isolated power source or must be a medically
isolated device.
Equipment powered from a non-isolated source can result in chassis leakage
currents exceeding safe levels. Chassis leakage current created by an accesso‐
ry or device connected to a non-isolated outlet may add to the chassis leakage
current of the ultrasound system.
WARNING
Non-medical grade report printers cannot be used within a patient environment.
During use of a non-medical grade report printer or when a non-medical
grade report printer is connected to the ultrasound system, the ultrasound
system cannot in any way be in contact with a patient.
Siemens cannot support or service any external devices connected to the USB port. Sie‐
mens cannot assume responsibility for functionality beyond the scope of this specifica‐
tion.
Siemens does not specifically recommend any particular communication or analysis soft‐
ware; please contact a local vendor for assistance with interpretation and analysis of the
data transmitted by the ultrasound imaging system.
Relevant standards for some non-medical electrical equipment may have limits for enclo‐
sure leakage currents higher than required by medical standards. These higher standards
are acceptable only outside the patient environment. It is essential to reduce enclosure
leakage currents when non-medical electrical equipment is to be used within the patient
environment. Measures for reducing leakage current include use of a medically-approved
isolation transformer.
The ultrasound system has printer drivers compatible with non-medical grade report
printers. Siemens does not guarantee the performance and safety of any non-medical
grade report printer. Non-medical grade report printers do not fulfill the following safety
requirements:
n EN 60601-1-1 and IEC 60601-1-1 (Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Re‐
quirements for Safety).
n EN 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-1-2 (Electromagnetic Compatibility of Medical Devices).
n EN 62353 and IEC 62353 (Medical Electrical Equipment - Recurrent Test and Test After
Repair of Medical Electrical Equipment.
If a non-medical grade report printer is to be used with the ultrasound system, then en‐
sure mitigation is provided to meet all safety requirements. It is the responsibility of the
user to ensure that the ultrasound system in combination with the non-medical grade re‐
port printer complies with safety requirements.
Always use a medically-approved isolation transformer with a non-medical grade report
printer.
Mitigate risk with regard to the Electromagnetic Compatibility of Medical Devices require‐
ment. A non-medical grade device must be designed, manufactured, and certified to
meet the same EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) requirements as the ultrasound sys‐
tem, or other means must ensure that the overall EMC requirements are met.
Tab. 2 Manufacturers of Medically Approved Isolation Transformers
1. Connect the ultrasound system to an AC power outlet within a medically used room
within the patient environment. A patient environment is defined as an area in which
medical examination, monitoring, or treatment of the patient takes place. The patient
environment is located 1.5 meters (or, in Canada and the U.S.A., 1.8 meters [6 feet])
around the patient location.
2. Connect the peripheral equipment AC power cable to a medically approved isolation
transformer.
3. Connect the medically approved isolation transformer to a main AC outlet either in‐
side or outside the patient environment. The peripheral device and medically ap‐
proved isolation transformer combination can be located:
- Within the same room as the ultrasound system, or
- In a non-medically used room.
For additional information and other possible combinations, please refer to the Medical
Electrical Equipment Standard EN 60601-1-1 or IEC 60601-1-1, Annex BBB.7, Scenario 3c.
and Medical Electrical Equipment - Recurrent Test and Test After Repair of Medical Electri‐
cal Equipment EN 62353 or IEC 62353.
The above information is based on current EN 60601-1-1 and IEC 60601-1-1 standards,
dated 2000-12, and EN 62353 -2008 and IEC 62353 - 2007.. If a country regulatory
standards for medical equipment do not correspond to EN 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1, or
to EN 62353 and IEC 62353, as well as EN 60601-1-1 and IEC 60601-1-1, then the local
requirements may differ.

- Select the Print icon Store checkbox.
Select to perform a dual function: print the image to the related image printer
and store the image to the ACUSON System default storage device when the
Print key is pressed.
Uncheck to print the image to the related image printer only.
Images are always stored to the local database when either the Print or Store key is
pressed, regardless of the Print/Store configuration.
Siemens recommends that transfer at the “End of Exam” be selected for archive servers.
Transfer “During Exam” should only be selected for image review workstations that sup‐
port In-Progress review.
Servers configured for Storage Commitment should not be configured for transfer “Dur‐
ing Exam”.
Auto transfer to CD-R is disabled by default.
a) Printer: Assigns the DICOM printers to perform composition and formatting. This
is the default setting. This setting is typically more efficient, allowing smaller
blocks of data to be transferred over the network, and consuming less ultrasound
system CPU resources.
b) System: Assigns the ultrasound system to perform page composition and format‐
ting. This provides uniformity across different printers, and in some cases results in
very large blocks of data being transferred to the printer.
5. After setting the print routing, click Save to save the settings. All changes are discar‐
ded unless the Save button is selected.
