Periodic Maintenance by Service Personnel
To ensure the continued safe performance of your GE Portable DR Detector, establish a periodic
maintenance program with a qualified service representative.
Periodic maintenance checks are required thirteen months after installation and every year thereafter. A
periodic maintenance schedule and a sample mAs/kVp accuracy chart are provided on the following
pages.
As the manufacturer of the GE Portable DR Detector, GE accepts no responsibility for safety, reliability or
performance unless:
•
Assembly, calibration and repairs are performed by a GE authorized representative according to the
corresponding GE Portable DR Detector manuals.
•
Any modification, addition or deletion to this system is authorized specifically by GE, in writing.
•
Electrical installation complies with the IEC regulations.
•
The device is used in accordance with the Operating Instructions.
•
Original or authorized spare parts are used.
If service of the unit is performed, the service technician must provide an official service report
describing the type and extent of repair. This service report must contain all information regarding
changes to nominal data and/or work range performed at the service visit. The service report must also
indicate the date of repair, the name of the company carrying out the repair and a valid signature. The
user should keep this service report in a safe place for future references.
Preventative Maintenance
Visually inspect the detector for signs of damage. Damage includes cracks in the magnesium or graphite
covers, dents, and scratches to the graphite cover deeper than 1.0mm.
Inspect the tether for wear (fraying, jacket tears) and replace if necessary.
Visually inspect the grid for signs of damage. This may include dents to the frame (>2mm indentation) or
signs of impact to the grid surface. Replace if necessary.
