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

‹
evidence that the safety certification of the ACCESSORY has been
performed in accordance to the appropriate IEC 60950 series safety
