•
If several instruments are simultaneously used on the patient, all these instruments must
be connected to an appropriate potential equilibrium (avoidance of lead currents).
•
If the use of a defibrillator becomes necessary, there must be no ECG adhesive
electrodes and no conductive paste between the contact positions of the defibrillator
plates (avoidance of current bridges; the signal input of the ECG preamplifier is
defibrillator-safe).
•
When used with the appropriate ECG cable, the ECG is protected against the effects of
cardiac defibrillator discharge.
•
Conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors for applied parts including the
neutral electrode should not contact other conductive parts and earth.
12.5.5 Care and Maintenance, Repairs
•
Electrodes and the cables should be handled with the usual care. Refer to
manufacturer’s instructions in concerns of cleaning and maintenance.
•
Refer to manufacturer’s instructions concerning sterilization.
•
The ECG preamplifier does not require special maintenance but should be handled with
care.
•
Do not perform any changes or repairs on the ECG preamplifier, the connecting cables
or the patient cable. A damaged patient cable must be replaced.
•
Necessary repairs must be performed by authorized service personnel only!
12.6 Battery Pack
With Battery Pack, the system power is maintained by the battery when there is an AC power
failure or the power cable is unplugged. Also, the one helps to maintain the system power
when it needs to be moved to other place. This can be used to reduce system startup time for
portable exams.
•
Battery Mode
When in Battery Power Mode, the system maintains the current patient and can scan or
perform other operation normally.
Note
Only GE Service personnel have access to the battery. Please contact the technical service
department or your local GE Healthcare representative for replacement.
Note
Under battery pack, the external printers are not able to be used.
Note
When the system detects battery deterioration, it displays a message. If the message displays,
contact the technical service department or your local GE Healthcare representative.
When in Battery Power Mode and remaining battery capacity is 30% or less, the system
shows a “Battery Power Mode: Low battery capacity” message. And If the remaining battery
capacity is 15% or less, the system will automatically start the full shutdown sequence.
12.6.1 Battery Status View
When the system is running on battery power, the following icons display on the status area at
the right-bottom.
