8-1-3 Returning/Shipping System, Probes and Repair Parts
When returning or shipping the Voluson E8 / Voluson E6 system in the original packaging:
• system must be lowered to its minimum height with monitor flapped down (see: Figure on page 3-6)
• the Control Console has to be centered and locked in “unextended” position

Equipment being returned must be clean and free of blood and other infectious substances.
GEHC policy states that body fluids must be properly removed from any part or equipment prior to
shipment. GEHC employees, as well as customers, are responsible for ensuring that parts/equipment
have been properly decontaminated prior to shipment. Under no circumstance should a part or
equipment with visible body fluids be taken or shipped from a clinic or site (for example, body coils or
and ultrasound probe).
The purpose of the regulation is to protect employees in the transportation industry, as well as the
people who will receive or open this package.
NOTE: The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has ruled that “items what were saturated and/or dripping
with human blood that are now caked with dried blood; or which were used or intended for use in patient
care” are “regulated medical waste” for transportation purpose and must be transported as a hazardous
material.
