To avoid electrical shocks or burns caused by the use of the wrong type of fire extinguisher,
make sure that only fire extinguishers approved for use on electrical fires are used.
Surplus lengths of power cords or other cables from mobile accessory units that may be used
during patient scanning should be stored in safe and isolated areas. For example: Excess cable
may be wound in a figure eight and stored at the base of the stationary equipment. This
minimizes signal interference and protects cables from damage due to traffic.
A CT System combined with GE approved accessories complies with the IEC 60601-1
standards related to safety and performance of medical electrical systems. Refer to the
standard for more information.
• Do not connect electric devices to the CT System that are not approved by GE. Do not
connect additional extension cords or outlet strips. It may create increased electrical leakage
current and there is possibility of electric shock.
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any interference caused by using other than
recommended interconnect cables or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this
equipment. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the users' authority to operate
the equipment.
•
The GE console monitors, video amp and media tower are intended to be powered by the
CT System using cables provided. Do not connect these devices to power sources other
than the CT system (for example, wall outlets, or other electrical equipment). It may create
increased electrical leakage current and there is possibility of electric shock.
•
Note that some external powered equipment may only be connected by a signal cable to GE
equipment (for example, a network hub). A separation device is required for equipment that
is powered by a different power source.
