4-24 CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 2048723-002D
Maintenance: Safety testing
Test equipment
The recommended test equipment required to perform electrical safety tests is
listed below.
Perform electrical safety tests using an electrical safety analyzer per IEC 60601-
1, UL 60601-1, or CSA C22.2 No. 601. The schematics in the section provide a
general understanding of the test equipment. Actual configuration of test
equipment may vary.
The monitor being tested should be placed on an insulating surface.
Power outlet test
Verify that the power outlet is wired correctly per the country’s electrical code
standard before starting the following electrical safety tests. The results of the
following tests will be inaccurate unless a properly wired power outlet is used.
Use only non-isolated power outlets when performing safety tests.
Power cord and plug
Verify the power cord being used with the patient monitor is good. The following
are several areas to check for in this regard:
 Failure of the power cord strain relief is very common. Often times users of
the equipment pull on the power cord itself, rather than the power cord plug,
to unplug the patient monitor from a wall receptacle.
 Inspect the power cord for wear or damage regularly. If damage is
suspected, test for continuity through each conductor of the power cord
connector.
 Verify line, neutral, and earth conductors are properly connected to the
power cord plug and are not short-circuited. Replace the power cord, as
necessary, with a regulatory-approved cord for the country of use.
WARNING
Use only AC power cords recommended or manufactured by
GE.
