Regular cleaning of the Vivid™ 4 scanner’s air filter will ensure that the filter does not become clogged
- this would otherwise cause the system to overheat and reduce system performance and reliability.
NOTE: It is recommended that the air filter cleaning procedure is performed once every 3 months (quarterly).
However, the required frequency for air filter cleaning will vary in accordance with environmental
conditions.

Monitor On a weekly basis, apply glass cleaner to a soft, non-abrasive folded cloth. Gently wipe the

Console Frequent and diligent cleaning of the Vivid™ 4 ultrasound unit reduces the risk of spreading
infection from person to person, and also helps to maintain a clean working environment.
Prior to cleaning, turn OFF the power to the system.
Use a fluid detergent in warm water on a soft, damp cloth to carefully wipe the entire system.
Be careful not to get the cloth too wet so that moisture does not enter the console.
