Required facility needs
NOTE: GE requires a dedicated power and ground for the proper
operation of its Ultrasound equipment. This dedicated power
shall originate at the last distribution panel before the Ultrasound
system.
The Ultrasound system will function on voltages from 100-240
Volts and 50 or 60 Hz
. However, if using 220 volt power in North
America, then a center tapped power source is required .
Sites with a mains power system with defined Neutral and Live :
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase, a neutral (not
shared with any other circuit), and a full size ground wire from
the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet
.
Sites with a mains power system without a defined Neutral :
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase (two lines), not
shared with any other circuit, and a full size ground wire from the
distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet
.
• Dedicated single branch power outlet of adequate
amperage, meeting all local and national codes, which is
located less than 2.5 m (8 ft.) from the Ultrasound system’s
proposed location
• Door opening is at least 76 cm (30 in) wide
• Proposed location for Ultrasound system is at least 0.5 m
(1.5 ft.) from the wall for cooling
• Power outlet and place for any external peripheral are within
2 m (6.5 ft.) of each other with peripheral within 1 m of the
Ultrasound system to connect cables.
• Power outlets for other medical equipment
• Power outlets for test equipment within 1 m (3.2 ft.) of
Ultrasound system
• Clean and protected space to store probes (in their cases or
on a rack)
• Material to safely clean probes (done with a plastic
container, never metal)
