10-3-1 How Often Should Care & Maintenance Procedures be Performed?
The Customer Care & Maintenance Task Schedule (provided in Table 10-2 on page 10-5) specifies how
often the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N ultrasound scanner should be serviced, and outlines items requiring
special attention.
NOTE: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the Care and Maintenance procedures are performed on the
Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N ultrasound scanner as scheduled in order to retain the high levels of safety,
dependability, and system performance.

The service procedures and recommended intervals shown in the Customer Care & Maintenance Task
Schedule assumes that you use your Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N scanner for an average patient load
(10-12 patients per day) and that you do 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, it is strongly recommended to increase
the maintenance frequencies.
