Purchaser Responsibilities

The work and materials needed to prepare the site is the responsibility of the purchaser. Delay,
confusion, and waste of manpower can be avoided by completing pre installation work before delivery.
Use the PreInstallation checklist to verify that all needed steps have been taken.
Purchaser reasonability includes:
• Procuring the materials required.
• Completing the preparations before delivery of the ultrasound system.
• Paying the costs for any alternations and modifications not specifically provided in the sales
contract.
NOTE: All electrical installation that are preliminary to the positioning of the equipment at the site
prepared for the equipment must be performed by licensed electrical contractors. Other
connections between pieces of electrical equipment, products involved (and the accompanying
electrical installations) are highly sophisticated and special engineering competence is
required. All electrical work on these product must comply with the requirements of applicable
electrical codes. The purchaser of GE equipment must only utilize qualified personnel to
perform electrical servicing on the equipment.
The desire to use a non-listed or customer provided product or to place an approved product further
from the system than the interface kit allows presents challenges to the installation team. To avoid
delays during installation, such variances should be made known to the individuals or group performing
the installation at the earliest possible date (preferable prior to purchase).
The ultrasound suite must be clean proof to delivery of the machine. Carpet is not recommended
because it collects dust and creates static. Potential sources of EMI (electromagnetic interference)
should also be investigated before delivery. Dirt, static, and EMI can negatively impact system.

Required Features

NOTE: GE Medical Systems requires a dedicated power and ground for the proper operation of its
Ultrasound equipment. This dedicated power shall originate at the last distribution panel before
the system.
Sites with a mains power system with defined Neutral and Live:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase, a neutral (not shared with any other circuit), and a full
size ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
Sites with a mains power system without a defined Neutral:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase (two lines), not shared with any other circuit, and a full
size ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
Please note that image artifacts can occur, if at any time within the facility, the ground from the main
facility's incoming power source to the Ultrasound unit is only a conduit.
• Dedicated single branch power outlet of adequate amperage meeting all local and national codes
which is located less than 2.5 m (8 ft.) from the unit's proposed location
• Door opening is at least 76 cm (30 in) wide
• Proposed location for unit is at least 0.3 m (1 ft.) from the wall for cooling
• Power outlet and place for any external peripheral are within 2 m (6.5 ft.) of each other with
peripheral within 1 m of the unit to connect cables.
