System Support Module – 2160200-43
The GE System Support Module (SSM), part number 2160200-43, is a critical component for various GE MRI systems that controls dynamic disable functions, monitors RF power, and manages power supplies for patient handling peripherals.
The GE System Support Module (Part No. 2160200-43), also referred to as the SSM, is a key Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) for GE’s Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners. This module performs three main functions:
- Dynamic Disable: It provides DC bias signals for transmit switches and detects errors within the switches.
- Power Monitoring: It monitors the forward RF power transmitted to the patient, ensuring safe power levels, pulse width, and duty cycle.
- Patient Handling Power: It supplies both DC and AC power to various peripherals in the magnet room, such as the dock assembly, patient table, shroud displays, and patient alignment lights.
This module is known to be compatible with multiple GE MRI systems, including the Signa Excite and Signa HDxt 1.5T.
