CARESCAPE Monitor B650

5.6 Power and environmental requirements

Check the patient monitor's supplemental information manual for power and environmental
requirements.
WARNING Operation of the monitor outside the specified performance range may
cause inaccurate results.
CAUTION Do not use or store equipment outside the specified temperature, humidity, or
altitude ranges.
Power requirements
• The installation site shall have hospital-grade grounded power outlets and power cords
for all system components.
• Verify that the power outlet is wired correctly according to the country's electrical code
standard.
WARNING EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE CURRENT - A display or printer that is a non-medical
grade device and is used within the patient environment, must always be
powered from an additional transformer providing at least basic isolation
(isolating or separating transformer). Using without an isolating
transformer could result in unacceptable enclosure leakage currents.
Environmental requirements
• Install the patient monitor to a location that meets the specified environmental
requirements of operating temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure.
• Set up the device in a location which affords sufficient ventilation. The ventilation
openings of the device must not be obstructed.
EMI & RFI interference:
WARNING Do not use the monitor in high electromagnetic fields (for example,
during magnetic resonance imaging).
WARNING Other equipment may interfere with the system, even if that other
equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements.
CAUTION 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 monitor 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.
Changes or modifications to this device/system not expressly approved by GE
may cause EMC issues with this or other equipment. This device/system is
designed and tested to comply with applicable standards and regulations
regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the
EMC information stated as follows: This device/system is suitable for use in all
establishments other than domestic and those directly connected to the public
low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic
purposes. Mains power should be that of a typical commercial or hospital
environment. Device is compliant to Class A.
