Why Do Maintenance?

It is good business practice that ultrasound facilities perform and
maintain records of periodic and corrective maintenance. The
Ultrasound Equipment Quality Check (EQC) form provides the
customer with documentation that the Invenia Automated Breast
Ultrasound System (ABUS) is maintained on a periodic basis.
A copy of the Ultrasound EQC form should be kept in the same
room or near the ultrasound system.
Leave a copy of the Ultrasound Equipment Quality Check form
with the customer and request that it be kept in the same room
or near the ABUS unit.
Routine quality control testing must occur regularly. The same
tests are performed during each period so that changes can be
monitored over time and effective corrective action can be
taken.
Testing results, corrective action and the effects of corrective
action must be documented and maintained on the site.
As a GE service representative, you can help the customer with
establishing, performing and maintaining records for a quality
assurance program.
