Safety: For Your Safety
CAUTIONS
EMC — Magnetic and electrical fields are capable of
interfering with the proper performance of the device.
For this reason make sure that all external devices
operated in the vicinity of the monitoring system comply
with the relevant EMC requirements. X-ray equipment
or MRI devices are a possible source of interference as
they may emit higher levels of electromagnetic radiation.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE — For continued safe use of
this equipment, it is necessary that the listed
instructions are followed. However, instructions listed in
this manual in no way supersede established medical
practices concerning patient care.
LOSS OF DATA — Should the monitor at any time
temporarily lose patient data, the potential exists that
active monitoring is not being done. Close patient
observation or alternate monitoring devices should be
used until monitor function is restored.
Once monitoring is restored, you should verify correct
monitoring state and alarm function.
MAINTENANCE — Regular preventive maintenance
should be carried out annually. You are responsible for
any requirements specific to your country.
MPSO — The use of a multiple portable socket outlet
(MPSO) for a system will result in an enclosure leakage
current equal to the sum of all individual earth leakage
currents of the system if there is an interruption of the
MPSO protective earth conductor. Do not use an
additional extension cable with the MPSO as it will
increase the chance of the single protective earth
conductor interruption.
NEGLIGENCE — GE Medical Systems Information

to the equipment caused by improperly vented cabinets,
improper or faulty power, or insufficient wall strength to
