System Care and Maintenance

Having been determined by GE Medical Systems engineers

that your Vivid S5/Vivid S6 system has no high-wearing

components likely to fail due to frequent use, no Periodic

Maintenance Inspections are mandatory. However, some

Customer Quality Assurance Programs may require additional

tasks and/or inspections to be performed at periods of

frequency different from those listed in this manual.

The user must ensure that safety inspections are performed at

least every 12 months according to the requirements of the

patient safety standard IEC 60601-1 (1988).

Only trained persons are allowed to perform the safety

inspections mentioned above.

Technical descriptions are available on request.

To ensure that the Vivid S5/Vivid S6 unit constantly operates at

maximum efficiency we recommend that the following

procedures be observed as part of the customer's internal

routine maintenance program.

If any defects are observed or malfunctions occur, DO NOT

operate the equipment, and inform a qualified service person.

Examine the following on a monthly basis (or whenever there is

a reason to assume that any issue may have occurred):
