PATIENT RISK — Do not connect a monochrome display
to the Dash Port 2 docking station. The visual alarm
messages may not appear properly.
The display purchaser is responsible for meeting the docking station's
display specifications. GE Medical Systems Information Technologies
(GE) does not make recommendations regarding specific display models
other than those it offers for sale. For questions regarding display
specifications or compatibility of displays not purchased from GE,
contact the display manufacturer.
The GE warranty only applies to equipment purchased from GE. Service

An isolation transformer must be used with a computer-grade
display to meet UL and IEC specifications.
The docking station with a medical-grade display meets applicable UL
and IEC specifications for a medical electrical system. For this system,
an isolation transformer is not required.
The docking station with a computer-grade display meets UL and IEC
specifications if an isolation transformer is used, regardless of whether
the computer-grade display meets the leakage current specification on its
own.
The party assembling or modifying the medical electrical system is
responsible to insure compliance with IEC 60601-1-1. Therefore, if GE
installs a Dash Port 2 docking station system with a computer-grade
display, GE is responsible for meeting the specification.
As a result GE will only install computer-grade displays with
appropriate isolation transformers. (See the following information.)
