Maintenance Task Schedule
10-3-1 How often should maintenance tasks be performed?
The Customer Care Schedule (provided on page 10-3) specifies how often your Vivid 7 should be
serviced and outlines items requiring special attention.
NOTE: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the Vivid 7 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 Vivid 7 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 Vivid 7 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.
