System Care and Maintenance
Having been determined by GE Medical Systems engineers
that your Vivid S5/Vivid S6 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.
To ensure that the Vivid S5/Vivid S6 unit constantly operates at
maximum efficiency we recommend that the following
procedures be observed as part of the customer’s internal
routine maintenance program.
Inspecting the system
Monthly
Examine the following on a monthly basis (or whenever there is
a reason to assume that any issue may have occurred):
• Connectors on cables, for any mechanical defects
• Entire length of electrical and power cables, for cuts or
abrasions
• Equipment, for loose or missing hardware
• Control panel for defects
• Brakes
CAUTION
The user must ensure that safety inspections are performed at
least every 12 months according to the requirements of the
patient safety standard IEC 60601-1 (1988).
Only trained persons are allowed to perform the safety
inspections mentioned above.
Technical descriptions are available on request.
CAUTION
If any defects are observed or malfunctions occur, DO NOT
operate the equipment, and inform a qualified service person.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock hazard, do not remove panels or
covers from the unit.
