Connecting the system
A GE-qualified person should perform the initial system
installation.
Connecting the ultrasound system involves preliminary checks
of the power cord, voltage level, and compliance with electrical
safety requirements.
Use only power supply cords, cables, and plugs provided by or
designated by GE.
Ensure that the power cord and plug are intact and that the
power plug is the proper hospital-grade type (where required).
The system should be connected to a fixed power socket which
has the protective grounding connector. Never use an
extension cord or adapter plug.
Failure to provide an adequate earth circuit can cause electrical
shock, resulting in serious injury.
Connection of additional protective earth conductors or
potential equalization conductors is not necessary in most
cases and is only recommended for situations involving
multiple equipment in a high-risk patient environment to
provide assurance that all equipment is at the same potential
and operates within acceptable leakage current limits. An
example of a high-risk patient would be a special procedure
during which the patient has an accessible conductive path to
the heart such as exposed cardiac pacing leads.
