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. Purchaser responsibility includes:
• Procuring the materials required
• Completing the preparations before delivery of the
Ultrasound system
• Paying the costs for any alterations and modifications not
specifically provided in the sales contract
All electrical installations 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, calibrations, and testing
must also be performed by qualified personnel. The products
involved (and the accompanying electrical installations) are
highly sophisticated and special engineering competence is
required. All electrical work on these products 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 Ultrasound
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
(preferably prior to the purchase).
The ultrasound suite must be clean prior to delivery of the
Ultrasound system. 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
Ultrasound system reliability.
