Periodic Maintenance
In order to obtain continued safe performance of this x-ray equipment, a periodic maintenance program
must be established. lt is the owner’s responsibility to supply or arrange for this service.
Maintenance procedures for the AMX-Il X-Ray Unit are required one month and three months after
completion of installation, and every 6 months thereafter. These maintenance procedures are described
in Chapters 5 and 8 of Service Manual AO654D and outlined on PMS Data Record - Mobile Generator
1 — form F3316.
Qualified Service Available
Safe equipment performance also requires the use of service personnel specially trained on medical X-ray
apparatus. General Electric Company, Medical Systems, and its associates maintain a world-wide organization of
stations from which one may obtain skilled X-ray service. If desired, arrangements can usually be made to furnish
preventive and/or emergency service on a contract basis. A GE representative will be glad to discuss this plan.
User Service and Maintenance
General Electric x-ray equipment contains operating safeguards to provide maximum safety. Before call-
ing for service, be certain proper operating procedures are being used.
This equipment should be cleaned frequently, particularly if corroding chemicals are present. Use a cloth
moistened slightly in warm soapy water (use mild soap) to clean the trim and nameplate of the Operator's
Panel. Wipe with a cloth moistened in clean water. Do not use cleaners or solvents of any kind as they may
dull the finish or blur the lettering. Polish with PURE liquid or paste wax. Do not use a wax containing
a cleaning substance. Do not use wax on the meter front. Other surfaces of the unit can be cleaned using
a clean cloth moistened slightly with a good mild cleaner and polish acceptable for use on enameled metal
surfaces.
Excessive water and cleaning solution may leak into the AMX-11 and damage the electronics. Clean the unit
only with a slightly moistened cloth.
The Main Power Circuit Breaker interrupts power to the X-Ray unit in the event of overload in the high
voltage system. When this occurs, the control panel lights will go out. To resume operation, place the main
power circuit breaker to the ON position. Repeated power interruptions indicates a fault in the high
voltage system. Have the unit checked by a qualified GE Medical Systems serviceman.
