Returning Probes and Repair Parts
Equipment being returned must be clean and free of blood and
other infectious substances. GE policy states that body fluids
must be properly removed from any part or equipment prior to
shipment. GE employees, as well as customers, are responsible
for ensuring that parts/equipment have been properly
decontaminated prior to shipment. Under no circumstance
should a part or equipment with visible body fluids be taken or
shipped from a clinic or site (for example, body coils or an
ultrasound probe).
The purpose of the regulation is to protect employees in the
transportation industry, as well as the people who will receive or
open this package.
NOTE:
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has ruled that
“items that were saturated and/or dripping with human blood
that are now caked with dried blood; or which were used or
intended for use in patient care” are “regulated medical waste”
for transportation purposes and must be transported as a
hazardous material.
NOTE:
The USER/SERVICE staff should dispose of all the waste
properly, per federal, state, and local waste disposal regulations.
The Ultrasound system is not meant to be used for long-term
storage of patient data or images. The user is responsible for the
data on the system and a regular backup is highly
recommended.
If the system is sent for repair, please ensure that any patient
information is backed up and erased from the system before
shipping. It is always possible during system failure and repair to
lose patient data. GE is not responsible for the loss of this data.
If PHI (Patient Healthcare Information) data needs to be sent to
GE employees for service purposes, GE will ascertain
agreement from the customer. Patient information shall only be
transferred by approved service processes, tools and devices
restricting access, protecting or encrypting data where required,
and providing traceability in the form of paper or electronic
documents at each stage of the procedure while maintaining
compliance with cross-border restrictions of patient information
transfers.
