Patient identification
Always include proper identification with all patient data and
verify the accuracy of the patient's name and ID numbers when
entering such data. Make sure correct patient ID is provided on
all recorded data and hard copy prints. Identification errors could
result in an incorrect diagnosis.
The ultrasound system is not meant for long term storage of
patient data or images. Customers are responsible for the
system data and a regular backup is highly recommended.
It is advisable to back up system data prior to any service
repairs to the hard drive. It is always possible during system
failure and repair to lose patient data. GE will not be held
responsible for the loss of this data.
WARNING
The concerns listed can seriously affect the safety of patients
undergoing a diagnostic ultrasound examination.
