System Care and Maintenance
Having been determined by GE Medical Systems engineers
that your Vivid i 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).
CAUTION
Only trained persons are allowed to perform the safety
inspections mentioned above.
Technical descriptions are available on request.
To ensure that the Vivid i unit constantly operates at maximum
efficiency we recommend that the following procedures be
observed as part of the customer's internal routine
maintenance program.
Inspecting the system
If any defects are observed or malfunctions occur, DO NOT
operate the equipment, and inform a qualified service person.
CAUTION
Monthly
Examine the following on a monthly basis (or whenever there is
a reason to assume that any issue may have occurred):
•
Connectors on cables, for any mechanical defects
•
Entire length of electrical and power cables, for cuts or
abrasions
•
Equipment, for loose or missing hardware
•
Control panel for defects
To avoid electrical shock hazard, do not remove panels or covers
from the unit.
