Routine checks and periodic maintenance
Routine checks and periodic maintenance are necessary to ensure safe and satisfactory
operation of your system.
Proof of these activities is required by authorities in certain countries.
Routine checks include:
Daily, weekly, and monthly inspections as well as legally required checks as described in
the “Function and Safety Checks” chapter of the operating instructions. Normally, the sys-
tem operator entrusts the clinical operating personnel with the task of performing these
routine checks.
Periodic maintenance includes:
•
Safety check (including safety-related tests)
•
Preventive maintenance
•
Quality and function tests
•
Replacement of safety-relevant parts subject to wear.
This work has to be performed by qualified and authorized service engineers only. In this
context, qualified means that the engineers have been trained accordingly or have
acquired practical experience through routine service activities. Authorized means that the
engineers have been authorized permission by the operator of the system to perform
maintenance work.
Upon first start-up of the system, we ask you to designate a staff member responsible for
ensuring that routine checks, preventive inspection, and maintenance work are performed.
This staff member is responsible for archiving all certificates in the “System Owner Manual”
binder.
In addition to our repair service, Siemens also offers you a complete range of services for
the preventive inspection and maintenance of your system. These services can be called
on as required or agreed upon in a flexibly drafted maintenance contract.
