Purchaser Responsibilities
The work and materials required to prepare the site are the responsibility of the purchaser. purchaser.
Delay, confusion, and waste of manpower can be avoided by completing pre-installation work before
delivery.Use the Pre-setup Check List (provided in
to verify that all the required
steps have been completed.
Purchaser responsibilities include:
•
Procuring the materials required.
•
Completing the preparations prior to delivery of the ultrasound system.
•
Paying the costs of any alterations and modifications not specifically provided for in the sales
contract.
Note:
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.
To avoid delays during setup, the individual or team who will perform the setup should be notified at the
earliest possible date (preferably prior to setup), of the existence of any of the following variances:
