Safety considerations
Ultrasound System – Common Service Information 2-9
Direction 5444964-100 English Rev. 5
Human Safety (continued)
WARNING
Because of the limited access to cabinets and equipment in the
field, placing people in awkward positions, GE has limited the
lifting weight for one person in the field to 16 KG (35 LBS).
Anything over 16 KG (35 LBS) requires 2 people.
WARNING
For Console Ultrasound systems and for Ultrasound systems
mounted on a Docking/Isolation Cart, have two people
available to deliver and unpack the Ultrasound System.
Attempts to move the Ultrasound system considerable
distances or on an incline by one person could result in injury
or damage or both.
WARNING
Explosion Warning
DO NOT operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.
WARNING
DO NOT substitute parts or modify equipment
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, ONLY
install GE approved parts. DO NOT perform any unauthorized
modification of the equipment.
WARNING
For Console Ultrasound systems and for Ultrasound systems
mounted on a Cart, when the top console is in its locked
position, the gas shock is compressed and stores mechanical
energy. During normal operation the top console, the weight of
the monitor and the mechanical force of the gas shock are in
balance. Take care if/when you activate this gas shock.
Personal injury can occur after the panel is removed and the
shock pressure is released. Take care when you repair the
elevation assembly.
