Service responsibility
If the operator uses the system in complete accordance with the ZIMMER MEDIZINSYSTEME
operating instructions, instruction manual and service manual, then the ZIMMER MEDIZINSYS-
TEME SONIDOSMART main unit will have a lifespan of five years, and the ZIMMER
MEDIZINSYSTEME SONIDOSMART probes will have a lifespan of five years from manufacture.
The warranty for the system and probes ex factory is as stated in the warranty card.
The system is a precise electronic system. Defective parts may only be replaced by a ZIMMER
MEDIZINSYSTEME-authorised service technician. Any assembly, disassembly, handling, repair, or
replacement by any other persons may have an adverse impact on the safety and effectiveness of
the systems and probes, and thus will reduce the lifespan of the system and probes; if such im-
proper handling occurs, as described above, these systems and probes will not be covered by the
ZIMMER MEDIZINSYSTEME warranty. Standard maintenance must be carried out by ZIMMER
MEDIZINSYSTEME-authorised service technicians throughout the device's entire operational life-
time.
