Overview
10-1-1 Periodic Maintenance Inspections
Having been determined by GE engineers that your Vivid q N system has no high-wearing components
likely to fail due to frequent use, no Periodic Maintenance Inspections are mandatory. However, some
Customer Quality Assurance Programs may require additional tasks
and/or inspections to be performed at periods of frequency different from those listed in this manual.
10-1-2 Purpose of Chapter 10
This chapter describes the Care and Maintenance (PM) procedures for the Vivid q N ultrasound
scanner and its peripherals. These procedures are designed to protect your investment in the system,
and are intended to maintain the quality of system performance.
After delivery and installation of the Vivid q N ultrasound unit, your service representative will contact
you to schedule the first of several routine service visits. In addition to routine maintenance by trained
Field Service Engineers (FSEs), it is recommended that the procedures described in this chapter be
observed as part of your own internal routine maintenance program.
