Introduction: Safety Information
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, adjustments, 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; and
the device 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 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 60950
series safety standards for IT equipment.
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 the device 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 60950 series safety
standards for IT equipment.
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
Warnings and Cautions are used throughout this manual and designate a degree or
level of hazardous situations. A hazard is defined as a source of potential injury to a
person.
'$1*(5
DANGER indicates an imminent hazard which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
:$51,1*
WARNING indicates a potential hazard or unsafe practice which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
&$87,21
CAUTION indicates a potential hazard or unsafe practice which,
if not avoided, could result in minor personal injury or product/
property damage.
127(
A 127( provides application tips or other useful information.
ApexPro Telemetry Server Specific Hazards
:$51,1*6
LOSS OF MONITORING — If it is necessary to shut down the
ApexPro Telemetry Server, notify the site’s biomedical
department so patient communications can be established with an
alternative central station (the Bed Duplicator application can be
used to temporarily transfer patients to an alternate ApexPro
tower. See “Temporary Bed Transfer” on page 4-4). Shutting
down the ApexPro Telemetry Server causes disruption of
monitoring function at the CIC Pro.
EXPLOSION HAZARD — Do not use this equipment in the
presence of flammable anesthetics, vapors or liquids. Severe
burns/injury can result.
LOSS OF ALARMS/DATA — Use the ApexPro Telemetry
Server with ApexPro V3.5 ONLY with CIC Pros running
ApexPro V3.3. ApexPro V3.5 is backward-compatible with
ApexPro V3.3 ONLY Other previous versions of ApexPro are
NOT compatible with ApexPro V3.5. In-unit compatible sharing
of the same care unit names between ApexPro Telemetry Server
and ApexPro devices having incompatible software versions can
result in lost or corrupted telemetry alarm defaults data and loss of
audible alarms.

Introduction: Equipment Symbols
&$87,216
LOSS OF ALARMS/DATA — Do not load any software other
than that specified by GE Medical Systems Information
Technologies onto the ApexPro Telemetry Server. Installation of
software not specified by GE Medical Systems Information
Technologies can interfere with, or may cause damage to, the
ApexPro Telemetry Server or loss or corruption of data.
LOSS OF FUNCTION/ALARMS/DATA — Do not connect any
devices other than that specified by GE Medical Systems
Information Technologies to the ApexPro Telemetry Server.
Installation of devices not specified by GE Medical Systems
Information Technologies may cause damage to the ApexPro
Telemetry Server, can interfere with its operation or cause loss or
corruption of data.
