Damage in transportation
All packages should be closely examined at time of delivery. If 
damage is apparent, write “Damage in Shipment” on ALL copies 
of the freight or express bill BEFORE delivery is accepted or 
“signed for” by a GE representative or hospital receiving agent. 
Whether noted or concealed, damage MUST be reported to the 
carrier immediately upon discovery, or in any event, within 14 
days after receipt, and the contents and containers held for 
inspection by the carrier. A transportation company will not pay a 
claim for damage if an inspection is not requested within this 
14-day period.
