Periodic Maintenance Schedule

How Often Should PM Procedures be Performed?
The
Periodic Maintenance Schedule
(provided in
on page 10-4) specifies how often the
Vivid™ 4 ultrasound scanner should be serviced, and outlines items requiring special attention. Annual
periodic maintenance inspections are recommended. Each PM inspection requires approximately 2
hours for completion, excluding time needed for corrective action.
NOTE:
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the periodic maintenance procedures are performed on the
Vivid™ 4 ultrasound scanner as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Schedule, in order to retain
the high levels of safety, dependability, and system performance.
Your GE Medical Systems Service Representative has an in-depth knowledge of your Vivid™ 4
ultrasound scanning system and can best provide competent, efficient service. Please contact us for
further information, and to schedule routine maintenance servicing by our qualified professional FSEs.
The service procedures and recommended frequencies listed in the
Periodic Maintenance Schedule
assumes use of the Vivid™ 4 scanner for an average patient load (10-12 patients per day). However,
this is not applicable if the system is used as a primary mobile unit which is transported between
diagnostic facilities.
NOTE:
If conditions exist whereby typical usage and patient load is exceeded, it is strongly recommended to
increase the periodic maintenance frequencies.
