Introduction: Safety Information
Safety Information
Responsibility of the Manuf acturer
GE Medical Systems Information Technologies is responsible for the
effects of safety, reliability, and performance only if:
Assembly operations, extensions, readju stments, 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.
U.S. law restricts this device to be sold by or on the order of a physician.
Contact GE Medical Systems Information Technologies for information
before connecting to the equipment any devices that are not
recommended in this manual.
Parts and accessories used must meet t he requireme nts of t he appli cable
IEC 601 series safety standards, and/or the system configuration must
meet the requirements of the IEC 60601-1-1 medical electri cal 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 IEC 60601-1 and/or IEC
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.

Introduction: Safety Information
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
The terms danger, warning, and caution are used throughout this
manual to point out hazards and to designate a degree or level or
seriousness. Familiarize yourself with their definitions and significance.
Hazard is defined as a source of potential injury to a person.
DANGER indicates an imminent hazard which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not
avoided, could result in minor personal injury or product/property
damage.
NOTE provides application tips or other useful information to assure
that you get the most from your equipment.

Processing Unit Setup
Check the unit for proper voltage setting before i nstallation. Although
the AC mains volt age on Sola r 9500 process ing unit is factor y set for yo ur
requireme nts, the power supply could be damaged if S1 is in the wrong
position.
&$87,21
Make sure the voltage selection switch is in the correct
position before connecting AC mains. The power supply
will be damaged if the switch is in the 115 volt position
and a high range voltage (195-270VAC) is applied. The
supply will not function if in the 230 volt position when
the low range voltage (90-135VAC) is applied.
1. Lay the Solar 9500 processing unit on its back.
2. Simultaneously press in on the two release tabs and lift up the front
cover.
