The following is intended to provide the users in EC countries
with updated information concerning the connection of the
Versana Essential to image recording and other devices or
communication networks.
The Versana Essential has been verified for overall safety,
compatibility and compliance with the image recording devices
listed in Supplies/Accessories section.
The Versana Essential has also been verified for compatibility,
and compliance for connection to a local area network (LAN) via
the rear panel Ethernet connection, provided the LAN
components are IEC/EN 60950 compliant.
The Versana Essential may also be used safely while connected
to devices other than those recommended above if the devices
and their specifications, installation, and interconnection with the
system conform to the requirements of IEC/EN 60601-1.
Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital
interfaces must be certified according to the respective IEC
standards (i.e., IEC60950 for data processing equipment and
IEC60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all complete
configurations shall comply with the valid version of the system
standard IEC60601-1. Everyone who connects additional
equipment to the signal input part or signal output part of the
Versana Essential system configures a medical system, and is
therefore responsible to ensure that the system complies with
the requirement of the valid version of IEC60601-1. If in doubt,
consult the technical service department or your local GE
representative.
