Probe safety
Electrical hazards
Probes are driven by electricity, which can injure the patient or
user when exposed to contact with conductive solution.
Mechanical hazards
Take precaution to avoid mechanical hazards.
WARNING
Do not immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level
shown in Figure 13-5. Never immerse the probe connector or
adaptors into any liquid.
Do not subject the probe to mechanical shock or impact, which
may result in cracks or chips in the housing and degrade
performance.
Inspect the probe before and after each use, as described on
page 13-15, for damage or degradation to the housing, strain
relief, lens and seal.
DO NOT apply excessive force to the probe cable, to prevent
insulation failure.
Electrical leakage checks should be performed regularly by a
GE service representative or qualified hospital personnel,
according to the procedures described in IEC/EN 60601-1
Clause 8.7.
WARNING
Observe immersion levels as displayed in Figure 13-5
on
page 13-21

Inspect probes for sharp edges or rough surfaces that could
injure sensitive tissue.
DO NOT bend or pull the cable forcefully, to avoid mechanical
shock or impact to the probe.
