10-1-1 Periodic Maintenance Inspections Having been determined by GE Medical Systems engineers that your Vivid i n/ Vivid q N 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.
Page 704: Warnings
GE H EALTHCARE FQ091013, R IRECTION EVISION IVID I N AND IVID Q ERVICE ANUAL 10-1-3 Warnings DANGER: There are several places on the backplane, the AC distribution box, and the DC distribution box that could be dangerous. Be sure to disconnect the system power plug and to open the main circuit breaker before you remove any parts.
Page 705: Why Perform Maintenance Procedures
Vivid i n/ Vivid q N Inspection Certificates (see page 10 - 34) provide the customer with documented confirmation that the Vivid i n/Vivid q N portable ultrasound scanner is maintained on a periodic basis. Copies of the Vivid i n/ Vivid q N Inspection Certificates should be kept in the same room as the Vivid i n/ Vivid q N ultrasound scanner, or nearby.
Page 706: Maintenance Task Schedule
NOTE: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the Care and Maintenance procedures are performed on the Vivid i n/ Vivid q N ultrasound scanner as scheduled in order to retain the high levels of safety, dependability, and system performance.
