Revision C
Maintenance: Preventative Maintenance Inspection
Electrical safety tests provide a method of determining if potential electrical hazards
to the patient or operator of the device exist.
GE 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 in a Maintenance Repair Log.
These instructions are intended for every component in the system.
WARNING
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE—Failure to implement a
satisfactory maintenance schedule may cause undue equipment
failure and possible health hazards. Unless you have an Equipment
Maintenance Contract, GE 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 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.
