Section 9-4
Maintenance task schedule
9-4-1 How often should maintenance tasks be performed?
The Care & Maintenance task schedule (Table 9-1 below) specifies how often your LOGIQ™ S8 should 
be serviced and outlines items requiring special attention. 
NOTE: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the LOGIQ™ S8 care & 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 LOGIQ™ S8 ultrasound scanning 
system and can best provide competent, efficient service. Please contact us for coverage information 
and/or price for service.
The service procedures and recommended intervals shown in the Care & Maintenance Task Schedule 
assumes that you use your LOGIQ™ S8 for an average patient load (10-12 per day) and not use it as 
a primary mobile unit 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.
