IRECTION 5535208-100, REV. 2 LOGIQ E9 SERVICE MANUAL
Chapter 1 Introduction 1 - 23
Section 1-8
Returning/Shipping Probes and Repair Parts
Equipment being returned must be clean and free of blood and other infectious substances.
GE policy states that body fluids must be properly removed from any part or equipment prior to
shipment. GE employees, as well as customers, are responsible for ensuring that parts/equipment have
been properly decontaminated prior to shipment. Under no circumstance should a part or equipment
with visible body fluids be taken or shipped from a clinic or site (for example, body coils or an ultrasound
probe).
The purpose of the regulation is to protect employees in the transportation industry, as well as the
people who will receive or open this package.
NOTE: The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has ruled that “items that were saturated and/or
dripping with human blood that are now caked with dried blood; or which were used or intended
for use in patient care” are “regulated medical waste” for transportation purposes and must be
transported as a hazardous material.
For LOGIQ E9 Vet system
NOTE: Return used/unused spare parts from a veterinary environment with the purple recycling label
(regardless of its actual condition) and add a description on the label stating that the items were
removed from a LOGIQ E9 Vet in a veterinary environment.
This applies for Probes and covers labeled as Vet used.
If purple recycling label is not used in your region, use local recycling label.
