Maintenance
 
Page 9-2 
9.1.  Overview 
This  section  describes  routine  performance  checks  that  you  can  perform  to  ensure  that  the  system  is 
operating correctly. The  performance checks  listed are not intended  to substitute for scheduled periodic 
maintenance.  If  problems  are  found  during  these  checks,  contact  a  qualified  service  engineer  to 
troubleshoot and repair the system.  
Prior to  performing any  of  the performance  checks in this  section, it  is important that  potential hazards 
associated with these tasks are understood. Review the "Introduction and Safety" chapter of this manual 
before proceeding.  
 
Circuits  inside  the  equipment  use  voltages  that  are  capable  of  causing  serious  injury  or 
death from electrical shock. Do not remove the covers or perform any type of service  task, 
except as specifically instructed here.  
 
Move the system into a safe operating area prior to beginning these checks and observe all radiation safety 
precautions.  The  performance  checks  should  be  performed  as  often  as  equipment  is  in  use  and 
circumstances  warrant.  The  frequency  of  performance  checks  should  be  increased  when  the  system  is 
used extensively. In addition, circumstances such as accidents during transport or exposure to excessive 
fluids may warrant that performance checks be performed to verify operation of the equipment.  
In  addition  to  performance  checks,  safe  cleaning  practices  are  included  and  a  description  of  periodic 
maintenance that should be performed. All periodic maintenance should be performed by a GE HUALUN 
medical systems Co. Ltd. representative or a qualified service engineer. 
The  system  should  have  an  expected  service  life  of  10  years.  Periodic  maintenance  of  the  system  is 
required to maintain the system lifecycle. The first periodic maintenance shall be implemented after first 13 
months of use. Then it is suggested to do once per year by a GE qualified service engineer.
