10-2 Section 10-2 - Why do Maintenance
Section 10-2
Why do Maintenance
10-2-1 Keeping Records
It is good business practice that ultrasound facilities maintain records of quality checks and corrective
maintenance. The Ultrasound Equipment Quality Check form provides the customer with
documentation that the ultrasound scanner is maintained on a periodic basis.
A copy of the Ultrasound Equipment Quality Check (EQC) form (see: page 10-25 ) 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 designer.
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. Please contact us for coverage information and/or price for service.
Section 10-3
Maintenance Task Schedule
10-3-1 How often should care & maintenance tasks be performed?
The Customer Care Schedule (see: page 10-3 ) specifies how often your Voluson E8 / Voluson E6
should be serviced and outlines items requiring special attention.
NOTE: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the Voluson E8 / Voluson E6 care & maintenance is
performed as scheduled in order to retain its high level of safety, dependability and performance.
Your GE Service Representative has an in-depth knowlegde of your Voluson E8 / Voluson E6
ultrasound scanning system and can best provide competent, efficient service.
Please contact us for coverage information and/or price for service.
The service procedures and recommended intervals shown in the Customer Care Schedule assumes
that you use your Voluson E8 / Voluson E6 for an average patient load (10-12 per day) and not use it
as a primary mobile system which is transported between diagnostic facilities.
NOTE: If conditions exist which exceed typical usage and patient load, then it is recommended to increase the
maintenance frequencies.
