GE Medical Systems China Co., Ltd. — GE Healthcare Carestation anesthesia system Power Management Board (PMB) Field Replaceable Unit (FRU), 2076139-001-S

⚠️ Potential unexpected shutdown of Carestation 600 and 700 Series Anesthesia Systems containing certain power management boards, if the AC mains power is unplugged or in the event of an AC mains power failure. Anesthesia systems only operate on battery power in a rare event that AC mains power is lost and there is no continuous backup emergency power. If AC power is interrupted, the system will not automatically switch over to the battery supply mode and will reboot. If this issue occurs, a temporary disruption of mechanical ventilation, manual ventilation, and volatile agent delivery may occur. Following the reboot, the system will not return to the previous ventilation settings.
