PRELIMINARY
These tests may refer to specific safety analyzer equipment as an example. Always refer to the safety
analyzer’s user manual that will be used to perform the tests.
Prior to initiating any electrical test, the Ultrasound system must be visually inspected. Perform the
following visual checks:
• Check for missing or loose enclosure covers that could allow access to internal live parts.
• Examine the mains cord, mains plug and appliance inlet for damaged insulation and adequacy of
strain relief and cable clamps.
• Locate and examine all associated transducers. Inspect the cables and strain relief at each end.
Inspect the transducer enclosure and lens for cracks, holes and similar defects.
Users must ensure that safety inspections are performed whenever damage is suspected
and on a regular basis in accordance with local authorities and facility procedures.
DO NOT use the Venue™ or individual probes which fail any portion of the safety test.
To minimize risk of electric shock, only trained persons are allowed to perform the electrical
safety inspections and tests.
Compare all safety-test results with safety-test results of previously performed safety tests
(e.g. last year etc). In case of unexplainable abrupt changes of safety-test results consult
experienced authorized service personnel or GE for further analysis.
To avoid electrical shock, the Ultrasound system under test MUST NOT be connected to
other electrical equipment.
Remove all interconnecting cables and wires. The Ultrasound system under test must not be
contacted by users or patients while performing these tests.
