3-3-2 Overview
The Vivid S60N/Vivid S70N ultrasound unit, together with the peripherals, probes, cables, and
accessories, are shipped from the factory in a single cardboard shipping carton mounted on a raised
wooden base - see Figure 3-8 on page 3-7.
Where the specific customer requirements are for a Vivid S60N/Vivid S70N ultrasound unit without
peripherals, this is shipped in a smaller-sized cardboard shipping carton mounted on a raised wooden
base, or placed on top of the main cardboard carton that contains the scanner- see Figure 3-9 on
page 3-8.
Unpacking instructions for each type of shipping carton are provided separately in the following
sections:
• Unpacking the Vivid S60N/Vivid S70N Scanner with Peripherals on page 3 - 9
• Unpacking the Vivid S60N/Vivid S70N Scanner on page 3 - 9
NOTE: For details of weights and dimensions of all three shipping cartons, refer to Table 3-8 on page 3-8.
Each cardboard shipping carton is sealed with plastic tape and secured on the outside with plastic
straps. The interior of the carton is fully lined with re-sealable water-proof wrapping to protect the
contents from external moisture; silica gel bags are also placed among the contents to absorb any
condensation or moisture within the carton.
Before unpacking the unit
• Inspect the carton for visible damage.
• Inspect the Drop and Tilt indicators (on the Shock-watch and Tilt-watch labels, respectively) for
evidence of accidental shock or tilting during transit (damage incident) - refer to Figure 3-7.
Two people are needed to unpack the Ultrasound system because of its weight. Attempts to
move the Ultrasound system considerable distances or on an incline by one person could result
in injury or damage or both.
Two people are required whenever a part weighing 16 KG (35 LBS) or more must be lifted
Remember to use relevant personal protecting equipment (PPE) during packing and unpacking.
Check with your local EHS representative.
