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
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 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 reliability.
