The Periodic Maintenance Schedule (provided in

Vivid 3N Pro/Expert 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.

It is the customer's responsibility to ensure the periodic maintenance procedures are performed on the

Vivid 3N Pro/Expert 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 3N

ultrasound scanning system and can best provide competent, efficient service. Please contact us for

The service procedures and recommended frequencies listed in the Periodic Maintenance Schedule

assumes use of the Vivid 3N 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.

If conditions exist whereby typical usage and patient load is exceeded, it is strongly recommended to

increase the periodic maintenance frequencies.
