Section 10-2
Why do Periodic Maintenance
10-2-1
Keeping Records
It is good business practice that ultrasound facilities maintain records of periodic and corrective
maintenance. The Ultrasound Periodic Maintenance Inspection Certificate provides the customer with
documentation that the ultrasound scanner is maintained on a periodic basis.
A copy of the Ultrasound Periodic Maintenance Inspection Certificate should be kept in the same room
or near the scanner.
10-2-2
Quality Assurance
In order to gain accreditation from organizations such as the American College of Radiology (USA), it
is the customer’s responsibility to have a quality assurance program in place for each scanner. The
program must be directed by a medical physicists, the supervising radiologist/physician or appropriate
designee.
Routine quality control testing must occur regularly. The same tests are performed during each period
so that changes can be monitored over time and effective corrective action can be taken.
Testing results, corrective action and the effects of corrective action must be documented and
maintained on the site.
Your GE service representative can help you with establishing, performing and maintaining records for
a quality assurance program.
Section 10-3
Periodic Maintenance Schedule
10-3-1
How often should PMs be performed?
The Periodic Maintenance Schedule specifies how often your Vivid 7 / Vivid 7 PRO should be serviced
and what items need attention. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the Vivid 7 / Vivid 7 PRO
periodic maintenance is performed as scheduled in order to retain its high level of safety, dependability
and performance.
Your GE Service Representative knows your Vivid 7 / Vivid 7 PRO best and can provide competent,
efficient service. Please contact us for further information and to schedule GE Medical Systems
Ultrasound to perform this service for you.
The services and intervals shown in the maintenance schedule assumes that you use your Vivid 7 /
Vivid 7 PRO for an average patient load (10-12 per day) and not use it as a primary mobile unit which
is transported between diagnostic facilities.
If conditions exist which exceed typical usage and patient load, then it is recommended to increase the
periodic maintenance frequencies.
