Overview
1USB Report Printers

A USB printer for printing patient reports can be connected to the ultrasound system at
one of the USB ports located on the I/O panel of the system. A USB port has the capabil-
ity for use with a USB printer compatible with the HP PCL 3 protocol.
Observe all safety precautions for connecting a non-medical device to the ultrasound sys-
tem.

NOTE The SET key on the control panel functions as a point-and-select

device (similar to a computer mouse) when used with the trackball.
To select an on-screen object such as a button or a check box, roll
the trackball to position the pointer (cursor) on the object and then
press the SET key on the control panel.

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 data processing equipment and EN
60601-1 and IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all
configurations shall comply with the system standard EN
60601-1-1 and IEC 60601-1-1. Anyone who connects additional
equipment to the signal input or signal output port configures a
medical system and is therefore responsible that the system com-
plies with the requirements of the system standard EN 60601-1-1
and IEC 60601-1-1.
¹ Siemens can only guarantee the performance and safety
of the devices listed in the Accessories and Options
chapter of the System Reference (shipped with the ultra-
sound imaging system). If in doubt, consult Siemens ser-
vice department or your local Siemens representative.

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.
¹ Equipment powered from a non-isolated source can
result in chassis leakage currents exceeding safe levels.
Chassis leakage current created by an accessory 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.
¹ 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.

NOTE Siemens cannot support or service any external devices connect-

ed to the USB port. Siemens cannot assume responsibility for
functionality beyond the scope of this specification.

NOTE Siemens does not specifically recommend any particular commu-

nication or analysis software; please contact a local vendor for as-
sistance 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 print-
ers. 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 require-
ments:
• EN 60601-1-1 and IEC 60601-1-1 (Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Re-
quirements for Safety).
• EN 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-1-2 (Electromagnetic Compatibility of Medical Devices).
If a non-medical grade report printer is to be used with the ultrasound system, then you
must ensure 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 report printer complies with safety requirements.

SONOLINE G20 US06-201.843.01.01.02 Page 6 of 12 Siemens

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 system, or
other means must ensure that the overall EMC requirements are met.

Mitigating the Risk of Connecting a Report Printer

To fulfill EN 60601-1-1 and IEC 60601-1-1 (Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General
Requirements for Safety) requirements for non-medical peripheral equipment:
The non-medical peripheral equipment must be approved according to any other EN or
IEC standard (EN XXXXX or IEC XXXXX, e.g., equipment complying with EN 60348 and
IEC 60348, EN 60950 and IEC 60950, etc.)
The connection of non-medical peripheral equipment to your ultrasound system must
adhere to the following conditions:

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 inside
or outside the patient environment. The peripheral device and medically approved iso-
lation 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.

NOTE The above information is based on current EN 60601-1-1 and IEC

60601-1-1 standards, dated 2000-12. If your country"s regulatory
standards for medical equipment do not correspond to EN 60601-1
and IEC 60601-1, as well as EN 60601-1-1 and IEC 60601-1-1, your
local requirements may differ.
