Electrical safety tests
Recommendations
Electrical safety tests provide a method of determining if potential
electrical health hazards to the patient or operator of the device exist.
GE recommends that all safety tests be performed
„
upon receipt of the device,
„
once a year thereafter,
„
after any upgrade,
„
any time the main enclosure is disassembled, or a part is repaired or
replaced.
Record the date and results on the Repair Log included at the end of this
chapter.
These instructions are intended for every component in the system. If the
system includes a Tram-rac housing without 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
Perform electrical safety tests under normal ambient conditions of
temperature, humidity, and pressure.
