Introduction: Safety Information

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 IEC/EN 60601 series safety standards, and/or the system configuration must meet the requirements of the IEC 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 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.

Function/Power Keys

The user interface consists of a flat panel display and the keypad assembly that includes a Trim Knob control, function keys, and LED indicators.

The active-matrix color liquid crystal display (LCD) is assembled into a shock absorbing isolator that fits within the patient monitor’s front bezel to protect the display from mechanical shock during use.

The acrylic optical filter protects the display panel from impact and enhances visibility with its non-glare surface coating on the viewing side of the filter. It also has a scratch-resistance surface coating.

The Trim Knob control is a 24-position rotary control with a push selection switch.

Equipment Overview: Components

Power Key

The patient monitor is powered at all times when it is plugged into AC power. When the patient monitor is not plugged in to AC power, this key turns the patient monitor On and Off.

When AC power is present, this key toggles the operational mode of the patient monitor between normal operation and stand-by mode. In standby mode patient monitoring discontinues. Only the charging function continues and the charging status indicators operate as described below.

While the patient monitor powers up or changes between normal mode and standby mode, all four front panel indicators illuminate.

AC Power Indicator

The indicator lights green when AC mains power is applied to the patient monitor (including when the patient monitor is in the standby mode). The indicator does not illuminate when the patient monitor has no AC mains power.

Battery Power Indicator

The indicator lights yellow when the patient monitor is operating on battery power. The indicator does not illuminate when the patient monitor has no battery power. Battery indicators are located on the front panel of the patient monitor. They indicate when battery power is used and the battery charging status.

Equipment Overview: Components

Charging Status Indicators

An icon for each battery indicates its charging status. The battery icon lights yellow when the respective battery is being charged. If both batteries are present and require charging, then both icons illuminate even though they will be charged sequentially. The battery icon lights green when the respective battery is fully charged.

When the patient monitor is operating under battery power the battery icons are not illuminated. The icons are also not illuminated when the respective battery is either not being charged, not installed, or has failed.

The following table explains what the charging status indicators mean.

NOTE

No specific indicator distinguishes a failed battery pack condition from a condition where the battery is not installed or is not being charged. Go to the Service Menu for Battery Status. Refer to “Battery

Alarms and Messages” on page 6-7 for further information.

LED Color Explanation

Yellow Two battery icons, labeled Charging Status A and B, illuminate yellow

when the respective battery is being charged. If both batteries are present and require charging, then both icons illuminate yellow even though they charge sequentially.

Green The icon lights green when the respective battery is fully charged.

No Light The icon does not illuminate under the following conditions:

 The respective battery is not installed.  The patient monitor is operating on battery power.  A failure condition has been detected for the respective battery.

Battery Status Indicators

The battery status indicators are located inside the battery compartment. One green LED indicator is located above each of the two battery slots and lights green when the patient monitor is receiving power solely from the respective battery. The indicators do not illuminate when the patient monitor is not battery powered.

Neither indicator lights when the patient monitor is operating from both batteries simultaneously (i.e., in a very low battery charge condition when both batteries are joined together in order to sustain operation of the patient monitor).

Equipment Overview: Components

Battery Capacity Gauge

On-screen capacity gauges indicate the battery's current state of health and charge status. A battery capacity gauge for each battery present displays below the parameter blocks in the lower right corner of the display. The capacity gauge indicates the remaining charge capacity (usable energy left) for each battery.

The capacity gauges fill in from left to right proportional to the battery charge level. The solid portion represents the full charge capacity of the battery as a percentage of its design capacity.

WARNING

EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Using non-recommended batteries could result in injury/burns to patients and users. Only use batteries recommended or manufactured by GE. The warranty can be voided if non-recommended batteries are used.

Dash patient monitors running versions 5.4 or later only recognize and charge GE recommended batteries. Non-recommended batteries will run, but not charge, the Dash patient monitor. If battery is labeled GE Approved, the battery is compatible.

NOTE

Incompatible batteries display an “ERROR” message in the Battery Capacity Guage on the bottom right corner of the patien monitor screen.

Verify compatibility of an unmarked battery as follows.

1. Install a battery pack in the patient monitor.

2. Using the Trim Knob control, access the Service Mode menu starting from the Main Menu. Select MORE MENUS > MONITOR

SETUP > SERVICE MODE.

3. Enter password using the Trim Knob control to select the day and month from patient monitor screen with leading zeros. (e.g. July 4 =

0407).

4. Select BATTERY SERVICE.

5. Verify that the MANUFACTURER NAME does not display

INCOMPAT, NME, or UNKNOWN for the battery corresponding to BATTERY A or BATTERY B slot.

Wireless Connection

Equipment Overview: Components

The flexibility of the optional GE Unity Network is increased by using the wireless network. The wireless connection allows the user to roam from one access point to another, maintaining a strong seamless connection to the Unity Network. GE offers 802.11 and 802.11b wireless options.

The patient monitor, with its optional built-in wireless card, functionally performs the same as a patient monitor connected directly to the optional Unity Network. It can be viewed at the central station and by other GE monitors on the network (i.e. Dash 3000/4000/5000, Eagle

4000, and

can send and receive patient data via the access points to the Unity Network.

NOTE

It is recommended that wireless patient monitors that are moved from room to room have their patient monitor type configured as Rover or Rover/Combo monitoring.

To extend the Unity Network to a hospital’s 802.11b wireless network, a proper installation and configuration needs to be performed. To maintain continuous wireless patient monitoring, refer to the Wireless LAN Configuration Guide and contact GE for consultation in integrating the Unity Network to a 802.11b wireless network.

To identify a patient monitor with the wireless option, look for the wireless LAN label.
