10-4-1 How often should maintenance tasks be performed?
The Care and Maintenance task schedule (provided in
Table 10-1 on page 10-6) specifies how often your Vivid T9/Vivid
T8 should be serviced and outlines items requiring special
attention.
NOTE: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the Vivid T9/Vivid T8
care and 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 T9/Vivid T8 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 T9/Vivid T8 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.
