Network adapters for medical use of the GSM06E series from MEAN WELL
Medical equipment is equipment that is subject to increased electrical safety requirements, since this equipment is in direct contact with the patient, and the patient may not be able to break the electrical contact with the device on his own. The network adapter is a separate device for powering a medical device, which is subject to exactly the same safety requirements as the medical device itself.
The GSM06E series power adapter is an AC/DC converter (power supply unit), manufactured as a ready-made device in a plastic case with a built-in eurovillage. The GSM06E power adapter is designed for connection to a European standard 220V AC power supply network (plugged directly into an outlet).

The GSM06E series adapters have a rated power of 6W, which allows them to be classified as low-power power supplies. The network adapters are designed for use in the power grid in the full voltage range from 85 to 264V AC. The output voltage is encoded in the network adapter model from a number of values: 5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24 V DC.
The main difference between network adapters for medical devices and all other adapters is an increased level of safety, which is reflected in the creation of additional physical barriers to the flow of electric current with a controlled value of electrical strength and an acceptable leakage current level. GSM06E network adapters comply with 2xMOPP (Means of Patient Protection) and provide the highest level of protection. Safety measures are implemented through determining the length of current leakage paths (creepage) and insulation gaps (clearance).

GSM06E network adapters are of the BF (BF rated) designation type – equipment that has direct contact with the patient's body, for example, diagnostic equipment. The type of intended use, along with the level of protection of patients and staff from the risk of electric shock, is indicated in the Specification as a special designation.:

The power supplies of the GSM06E series have a narrow housing made of non-flammable plastic 94V-0, a built-in plug for plugging into an outlet, class II protection against electric shock (without grounding contact), low self-consumption (<0.3W), energy efficiency level V. Network adapters have all the basic protections against failure – short circuit, overload, and overvoltage. The output connector P1J has typical overall dimensions of 5.5x2.1 mm (DC connector) and the standard purpose of the contacts is a positive internal output.

Due to the combination of characteristics and properties, the GSM06E series network adapters can be used to power a wide range of medical equipment, as well as household devices and appliances with increased safety requirements.
