Manual Information
Revision History Each page of this manual has a revision letter, located at the bottom of
the page, that identifies its update level. This may be important if you
have different updates to a manual and don’t know which is the most
current.
For the initial release, all pages have the revision letter A. For the first
update of the manual, any changed pages receive the revision letter B.
For the second update, any changed pages receive the revision letter C.
The latest letter of the alphabet added corresponds to the most current
revision. Notice, however, that some pages may skip revision letters, for
example, jump from revision A to revision C because they did not change
in revision B.

Safety Information
Responsibility of the
Manufacturer GE Medical Systems Information Technologies 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 Medical Systems
Information Technologies.
• 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.
Intended Use Follow the directives stated below when using this device.
• 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 Medical Systems Information Technologies 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 601 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.

Equipment Symbols The following symbols appear on the equipment.
NOTE: Some symbols may not appear on all equipment.
ATTENTION: Consult accompanying documents before using the
equipment.
In Europe, this symbol means dangerous or high voltage. In the
United States, this symbol represents the caution notice below:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT remove cover (or back).
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Defibrillator-proof type CF equipment; type CF equipment is
specifically designed for applications where a conductive connection
directly to the heart is established. The paddles indicate the
equipment is defibrillator proof.
Defibrillator-proof type BF equipment; type BF equipment is suitable
for intentional external and internal application to the patient,
excluding direct cardiac application. Type BF equipment is type B
equipment with an F-type isolated (floating) part. The paddles
indicate the equipment is defibrillator proof.
