MAINTENANCE: Electrical Safety Tests
Electrical safety tests provide a method of determining if potential
electrical health hazards to the patient or operator of the device exist.
GE Medical Systems Information Technologies recommends that you
perform all safety tests presented in this chapter.
• upon receipt of the device (monitor and its associated equipment),
• every twelve months thereafter,
• each time the main enclosure is disassembled or a circuit board is
removed, tested, repaired, or replaced, and
• record the date and results on the "Maintenance/Repair Log"
included at the end of this chapter.
These instructions are intended for every component in the system. If the
Tram-rac housing does not have its own power supply, it should remain
connected to the monitor throughout the safety tests.
WARNING
Failure to implement a satisfactory maintenance
schedule may cause undue equipment failure and
possible health hazards. Unless you have an Equipment
Maintenance Contract, GE Medical Systems Information
Technologies does not in any manner assume the
responsibility for performing the recommended
maintenance procedures. The sole responsibility rests
with the individual or institution using the equipment.
GE Medical Systems Information Technologies service
personnel may, at their discretion, follow the procedures
provided in this manual as a guide during visits to the
equipment site.
Electrical safety tests may be performed under normal ambient
conditions of temperature, humidity, and pressure.
The recommended test equipment required to perform electrical safety
tests is listed below.
