Technical Specifications

Clinical and Service Value

The Rear Casters by GE Healthcare significantly enhance the usability of ultrasound systems within clinical settings. Their robust design ensures that imaging equipment remains stable and secure during procedures, thereby minimizing the risk of equipment-related accidents. The individual brake mechanism allows for precise control over the movement of the ultrasound machines, facilitating safe and efficient workflow in busy hospital environments.

From a maintenance perspective, the durable construction of the rear casters means that they are built to withstand the rigors of daily use in a clinical setting. The ease of installation, requiring only a hex key and minimal torque, ensures that procurement teams can quickly integrate these components into existing systems without extensive downtime. This not only streamlines the operational workflow but also enhances the overall efficiency of ultrasound imaging processes, allowing healthcare providers to focus on delivering high-quality patient care.

Additional notes

The Rear Casters comes as a part of 2D cardiovascular ultrasound system which is a digital ultrasound imaging system. It has four casters (wheels) - two front casters and two rear casters. The front casters can be locked in fixed directions. The rear casters have brakes that are operated individually for each caster. It has a capacity of bearing a nominal load of 35 kg, while the peak load can be 150 kg. The brake can be operated by means of lever and maximum lever force that can be applied is 80 N. It can be maintained in a locked position at maximum load. It is fastened to manifold unit by a hex key by applying a torque of 130 NM. It is provided with shock absorbers so that the equipment functions smoothly. It is an essential part for safety. The surfaces are polished and machined at particular locations for good grip and braking. Additional Features: Strong and hard and can bear a wide range of load Quick motion inhibiting brakes RoHS compliant
