Maintenance: Electrical Safety Tests
Electrical Safety Tests
General
Electrical safety tests provide a method of determining if potential
electrical health hazards to the patient or operator of the device exist.
Recommendations
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 on the “Maintenance/Repair Log”
included at the end of this chapter.
These instructions are intended for every component in the system. If the
Tram-rac housing does not have its own power supply, it should remain
connected to the monitor throughout the safety tests.
WARNING
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.
Test Conditions
Electrical safety tests may be performed under normal ambient
conditions of temperature, humidity, and pressure.
