Safety information

Responsibility of the manufacturer

GE is responsible for the effects of safety, reliability, and performance only if:

 Assembly operations, extensions, readjustments, modifications, or

repairs are carried out by persons authorized by GE.

 The electrical installation of the relevant room complies with the

requirements of the appropriate regulations.

 The equipment is used in accordance with the instructions for use.

General

This device is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed health care practitioner.

This device is not intended for home use.

Federal law restricts this device to be sold by or on the order of a physician.

Contact GE for information before connecting any devices to the equipment that are not recommended in this manual.

Parts and accessories used must meet the requirements of the applicable EN 60601 series safety standards, and/or the system configuration must meet the requirements of the EN 60601-1-1 medical electrical systems standard.

Periodically, and whenever the integrity of the device is in doubt, test all functions.

The use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent safety requirements of this equipment may lead to a reduced level of safety of the resulting system. Consideration relating to the choice shall include:

 use of the accessory in the patient vicinity; and

 evidence that the safety certification of the accessory has been

performed in accordance to the appropriate EN 60601-1 and/or EN 60601-1-1 harmonized national standard.

If the installation of the equipment, in the USA, will use 240V rather than 120V, the source must be a center-tapped, 240V, single-phase circuit.

PRN 50/PRN 50-M digital writer

The PRN 50/PRN 50-M digital writer thermally records patient data on a paper strip. Any parameter or trace that can be monitored on a monitor can be graphed by the writer. Graphs initiate automatically when an alarm is activated, or they can be initiated manually from the monitor.

Laser printer

003C

NOTE

The PRN 50-M digital writer is an M-Port device. To make an AutoPort device (such as PRN 50) M-Port compatible, use the AutoPort to M-Port adapter, pn 2001973-001.

An optional laser printer can be connected directly to the monitor via one of the M-Ports. The laser printer must have a serial port, and an interface adapter is required for the cable between the laser printer and the monitor. Refer to the instructions provided in Laser Printer Support Kit, pn 2013421-001, for details on the interface adapter and installing a serial card in a laser printer.

WARNINGS

SHOCK HAZARD. Laser printers are UL 60950/EN 60950 certified equipment, which may not meet the leakage current requirements of patient care equipment. This equipment must not be located in the patient vicinity unless the medical system standard EN 60601-1-1 is followed.

Do not connect a laser printer to a multiple portable socket outlet (MPSO) supplying patient care equipment. The use of an MPSO for a system will result in an enclosure leakage current equal to the sum of all the individual earth leakage currents of the system if there is an interruption of the MPSO protective earth conductor.
