Periodic Maintenance
Section 10-1
Overview
10-1-1 Purpose of Chapter 10
This chapter describes Periodic Maintenance (PM) procedures for the Vivid™ 3 ultrasound scanner and
its peripherals. These PM procedures are designed to protect your investment in the Vivid™ 3 system,
and to ensure constant operation at maximum efficiency.

After delivery and installation of the Vivid™ 3 ultrasound unit, your service representative will contact
you to schedule the first of several routine service visits. In addition to routine maintenance by trained
Field Service Engineers (FSEs), it is recommended that the procedures described in this chapter be
observed as part of your own internal routine maintenance program.

10-1-2 Warnings

DANGER: There are several places on the backplane, the AC distribution box, and the
DC distribution box that could be dangerous. Be sure to disconnect the system power plug and
to open the main circuit breaker before you remove any parts. Proceed with caution whenever
power is ON and covers are removed.
DANGER: Do not pull out or insert circuit boards while mains power to the system is ON.

CAUTION: Practice good ESD prevention. Wear an anti-static strap when handling electronic
parts and when disconnecting/connecting cables.

CAUTION: Do NOT operate the unit unless all board covers and frame panels are securely in
place, to ensure optimal system performance and cooling.
When covers are removed, EMI may be present.

Section 10-2
Why Perform Periodic Maintenance Procedures?
10-2-1 Keeping Records
It is good business practice that ultrasound facilities maintain records of periodic and corrective
maintenance. The Ultrasound Periodic Maintenance Inspection Certificate provides the customer with
documented confirmation that the Vivid™ 3 ultrasound scanner is regularly maintained on a periodic
basis.

A copy of the Ultrasound Periodic Maintenance Inspection Certificate should be kept in the same room
as the Vivid™ 3 ultrasound scanner, or nearby.

10-2-2 Quality Assurance

In order to gain accreditation from organizations such as the American College of Radiology (USA), it
is the customer’s responsibility to have a Quality Assurance program in place for each scanner. The
program must be directed by a medical physicist, the supervising radiologist/physician or appropriate
designee.

Quality Control testing of the system must be conducted routinely. The same tests are performed
regularly during each period, so that changes can be monitored over time and effective corrective action
taken, if required.

The results of Quality Control testing, corrective action, and the effects of corrective action, must be
documented and maintained on site.

Your GE Medical Systems Service Representative can help you with establishing, performing and
maintaining records for a Quality Assurance program.

Section 10-3
Periodic Maintenance Schedule
10-3-1 How Often Should PM Procedures be Performed?
The Periodic Maintenance Schedule (provided in Table 10-2 on page 10-4) specifies how often the
Vivid™ 3 ultrasound scanner should be serviced, and outlines items requiring special attention. Annual
periodic maintenance inspections are recommended. Each PM inspection requires approximately
2 hours for completion, excluding time needed for corrective action.

NOTE: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the periodic maintenance procedures are performed on the
Vivid™ 3 ultrasound scanner as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Schedule, in order to retain
the high levels of safety, dependability, and system performance.

Your GE Medical Systems Service Representative has an in-depth knowledge of your Vivid™ 3
ultrasound scanning system and can best provide competent, efficient service. Please contact us for
further information, and to schedule routine maintenance servicing by our qualified professional FSEs.

The service procedures and recommended frequencies listed in the Periodic Maintenance Schedule
assumes use of the Vivid™ 3 scanner for an average patient load (10-12 patients per day). However,
this is not applicable if the system is used as a primary mobile unit which is transported between
diagnostic facilities.

NOTE: If conditions exist whereby typical usage and patient load is exceeded, it is strongly recommended to
increase the periodic maintenance frequencies.

Test the probe in another connector to verify if the fault lies with the probe or the scanner.

NOTE: Each probe will have some amount of leakage, dependent on its design. Small variations in
probe current leakages are normal from probe to probe. Other variations will result from
differences in line voltage and test lead placement. The maximum allowable leakage current for
body surface contact probe differs from inter-cavity probe. Be sure to enter the correct probe
type in the appropriate space on the check list.

If excessive leakage current is slot dependent, inspect the system connector for bent pins, poor
connections, and Ground continuity.

If the problem remains with the probe, replace the probe.

10-8-1-3 Peripheral Fails

Tighten all Grounds. Ensure star washers are under all Ground studs.

Inspect wiring for bad crimps, poor connections, or damage.

10-8-1-4 Still Fails

If all else fails, begin isolation by removing the probes, external peripherals, then the on-board
peripherals (one at a time) while monitoring the leakage current measurement.

10-8-1-5 New Unit

If the leakage current measurement tests fail on a new unit and if the situation cannot be corrected,
submit a Safety Failure Report to document the system problem. Remove the unit from operation.

10-8-1-6 ECG Fails

Inspect cables for damage or poor connections.
