Site Preparations
3-22 Ultrasound System – Common Service Information
Direction 5444964-100 English
 Rev. 5
Purchaser responsibilities  (continued)
NOTE:  All electrical installations that are preliminary to the positioning 
of the equipment at the site prepared for the equipment must be 
performed by licensed electrical contractors. Other connections 
between pieces of electrical equipment, calibrations, and testing 
must also be performed by qualified personnel. The products 
involved (and the accompanying electrical installations) are 
highly sophisticated and special engineering competence is 
required. All electrical work on these products must comply with 
the requirements of applicable electrical codes. The purchaser 
of GE equipment must only utilize qualified personnel to perform 
electrical servicing on the equipment. 
The desire to use a non–listed or customer provided product or 
to place an approved product further from the Ultrasound 
system than the interface kit allows, presents challenges to the 
installation team. To avoid delays during installation, such 
variances should be made known to the individuals or group 
performing the installation at the earliest possible date 
(preferably prior to the purchase).
The ultrasound suite must be clean prior to delivery of the 
Ultrasound system. Carpet is not recommended because it 
collects dust and creates static. Potential sources of EMI 
(electromagnetic interference) should also be investigated 
before delivery. Dirt, static, and EMI can negatively impact 
Ultrasound system reliability.
