Section 10-3
Maintenance task schedule
10-3-1 How often should maintenance tasks be performed?
The Care and Maintenance task schedule (provided on page 10-3) specifies how often your VIVID E9
/ VIVID E7 should be serviced and outlines items requiring special attention.
NOTE: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the VIVID E9 / VIVID E7 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 knowledge of your VIVID E9 / VIVID E7 ultrasound
scanning system and can best provide competent, efficient service. Contact GE for coverage
information and/or price for service.
The service procedures and recommended intervals shown in the Care and Maintenance Task
Schedule assumes that you use your VIVID E9 / VIVID E7 for an average patient load (10-12 per day)
and not use it as a primary mobile Ultrasound 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 periodic maintenance frequencies.
