Overview of Telemetry Systems: About Your System About Your System Due to continuing product innovations, there are three versions of the Model 340 Telemetry System in hospitals today. All three versions operate identically from a user’s perspective. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this manual applies to all three devices. Model 340 Original Release The first release of the Model 340 Telemetry System operates in the frequency range 430–470 MHz.
Overview of Telemetry Systems: Identifying Your System Identifying Your System Each GE Medical Systems Information Technologies device has a unique serial number tag for identification. For each Model 340 Telemetry System, a reference number can be used to determine if the unit is a Model 340 Original Release, Model 340 Plus, or Model 340M. If your device’s REF number begins with “0”, refer to “Identifying Model 340 Original Release and Model 340 Plus Telemetry Systems” next on this page.
Identifying a Model 340M Telemetry System If your device’s REF number beings with “3”: u the third character identifies receiver or transmitter u the fourth character identifies Model 340M Refer to Figure 2. Product Code Catalog Number Other Device Characteristics 34_M _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 = Telemetry Receiver 2 = Telemetry Transmitter Option/Language/Voltage Specifiers Three to six characters that further describe the unit.

This chapter describes how the terms Danger, Warning, Caution, Important, and Note are used throughout the manual. In addition, standard equipment symbols are defined. This section includes the following important information: General Information. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Safety: General Information General Information General Use If any equipment is cold to the touch or below ambient temperature, allow it to stabilize before use. To ensure patient safety, use only parts and accessories manufactured or recommended by GE Medical Systems Information Technologies. Parts and accessories used shall meet the requirements of IEC 601.1.1. Disposable devices are intended for single use only. They should not be reused.
Safety: Definitions of Terminology Definitions of Terminology Six types of special notices are used throughout this manual. They are: Danger, Warning, Caution, Contraindication, Important, and Note. The warnings and cautions in this safety section relate to the equipment in general and apply to all aspects of the equipment. Be sure to read the other chapters because there are additional warnings and cautions which relate to specific features of the equipment.
Safety: Equipment Safety Information Equipment Safety Information Warnings :$51,1*6 ACCIDENTAL SPILLS—In the event that fluids are accidentally spilled on the equipment, take the equipment out of operation and inspect for damage. APPLICATION—This equipment is not designed for direct cardiac connection. CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS—Avoid making any conductive connections to applied parts (patient connection) which are likely to degrade safety.
Safety: Equipment Safety Information :$51,1*6 ELECTROSURGERY—The equipment is not designed for use with high-frequency surgical devices. In addition, measurements may be affected in the presence of strong electromagnetic sources such as electrosurgery equipment. EXPLOSION HAZARD—Do not use this equipment in the presence of flammable anesthetics or inside an oxygen tent. GROUNDING—Do not defeat the three-wire grounding feature of the power cord by means of adaptors, plug modifications, or other methods.
Safety: Equipment Safety Information :$51,1*6 LINE ISOLATION MONITOR TRANSIENTS—Line isolation monitor transients may resemble actual cardiac waveforms, and thus cause incorrect heart rate determinations and alarm activation (or inhibition). MRI USE—Do not use the equipment during MRI scanning; conducted current could potentially cause burns. PATIENT CABLES AND LEADWIRES—Do not use patient cables and electrode leads that permit direct connection to electrical sources.
Safety: Equipment Safety Information Cautions &$87,216 ANNUAL SERVICING—For continued safety and performance of the equipment, it is recommended that the calibration, accuracy, and electrical safety of the equipment be verified on an annual basis by an Information Technologies Service Representative. DAILY INSPECTION—It is essential that the equipment and accessories be inspected prior to every use.
Safety: Equipment Symbols Equipment Symbols The following is a list of symbols used on products manufactured by Information Technologies. Some symbols may not appear on your equipment. Table 1-2. Equipment Symbols ! ATTENTION: Consult accompanying documents. TYPE B EQUIPMENT. Type B equipment is suitable for intentional external and internal application to the patient, excluding direct cardiac application. TYPE BF EQUIPMENT.
Safety: FCC Information FCC Information FCC Rules Compliance This equipment complies with the FCC rules shown in Table 1-3. (Refer to “Identifying Your System” on page xi for information about identifying what type of telemetry system you have in your hospital.) Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. Table 1-3.
Safety: FCC Information Wireless Medical Telemetry Service This section applies to Model 340M Telemetry Systems only. Refer to “Identifying Your System” on page xi for information about identifying what type of telemetry system you have in your hospital. ,03257$17 Operation of a Model 340M Telemetry System requires prior coordination with a frequency coordinator designated by the FCC for the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service.
