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.
10-1-2 Purpose of Chapter 10
This chapter describes the Care and Maintenance (PM) procedures for the Vivid i n/ Vivid q N
ultrasound scanner and its peripherals. These procedures are designed to protect your investment in
the system, and are intended to
maintain the quality
of system performance.
After delivery and installation of the Vivid i n/ Vivid q N ultrasound unit, your service representative will
contact you to schedule the first of several routine service visits. In addition to routine maintenance by
trained Field Service Engineers (FSEs), it is recommended that the procedures described in this
chapter be observed as part of your own internal routine maintenance program.
