1.2 Introduction
Planned maintenance (PM) is recurring and should be performed at least every 12 months.
The PM includes visual inspections, cleaning, functional performance checks of the system
and peripherals.
Prior to visiting the customer site for the PM, ask the customer to archive the patient data-
base and perform a disk defragmentation (where applicable).
After performing the PM, a Maintenance Protocol must be completed. Distribute a copy of
the completed Maintenance Protocol to the customer, the country Service Office, and the
Customer Service Engineer’s (CSE) record, as required by the Country Service Organiza-
tion.
Some regions have regulations that require planned maintenance more frequently. It is the
responsibility of the CSE to be aware of and adhere to all local regulations regarding
planned maintenance intervals for this system and peripherals.
1.3.1 Tools
The following tools should be available in the Ultrasound department. If not, the CSE will
need to bring the following items:
• Standard field service tools
• Ultrasound phantom (optional)
• Optimization tool kit (P/N 10438124)
• Eye-One Display 2, S2000 (P/N 10438125)
1.3.2 Materials
The CSE will need to bring the following items:
• Lint-free alcohol wipes
• Ultrasound gel
• Scanning lotion for ABVS
1.3.4 Acronyms
1.4 Preparations
WARNING Some ultrasound parts may have had patient contact, expos-
ing them to blood borne pathogens.
¹ When handling parts that may have had patient con-
tact, take appropriate precautions against exposure to
blood borne pathogens.
NOTE Be aware of billing implications for the site. If parts and labor
are not covered by warranty or contract, ensure that you have
the customer's permission before performing any work or
repairs for which the customer will be billed.
NOTE This may not apply to all US systems. The ultrasound system
is not designed to be an archive system. A full Patient Data-
base will slow down operation of the system.
Discuss with the customer whether there are unused studies present on the system. If
there are, work with the customer to either send the unused studies to a storage device or
delete the unused studies.
PM Perform Disk Maintenance
As directed in the platform specific system verification procedure.
CAUTION [For ABVS] Transducer and Scan Motor Failure May Occur
Using normal Ultrasound scanning gel can result in trans-
ducer and or scan motor failure. Use only ABVS scanning
lotion.
¹ Use only ABVS scanning lotion only.
1. Clean each transducer with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Take
care not to contaminate the transducer connector.
2. Check the transducer heads for physical damage such as cracks, splits, or any other
malfunction that may affect their performance. Inspect the cable and the connection at
the strain relief on both ends of the cable.
WARNING Some ultrasound parts may have had patient contact, expos-
ing them to blood borne pathogens.
¹ When handling parts that may have had patient con-
tact, take appropriate precautions against exposure to
blood borne pathogens.
3. Inspect all transducers and user accessible ports for cleanliness, damage, loose con-
nectors, bent pins, etc.
4. Using a lint-free alcohol wipe, carefully clean the transducer connector to remove dirt,
debris or dried gel.
5. [For ABVS] Visually inspect transducer cable at the Column Arm carrier for ware and
tear. Refer to Figure 15 of (US15-103.841.01 / Routing the Transducer Cable).
PM Clean Air Filters
Clean or replace air filters as necessary.
PM Clean the Trackball
Clean or replace the trackball.
PM Check Monitor / Flat Panel Display (FPD)
Verify that the monitor/FPD is securely mounted on the system, and that the tilt/swivel
mechanisms work as designed.
Whenever the FPD requires replacement, the monitor optimization procedure will have to
be completed following replacement of FPD. Refer to (US15-105.842.01 / Flat Panel Dis-
play (FPD) Optimization Procedure - RM200)
PM Calibrate the ABVS LCD
Run the ABVS calibration on the LCD as necessary.
PM Clean the ABVS POD
Clean the ABVS POD.
PM Check Movement of User Controls
Verify keyboard/UI and control panel moves as designed (where applicable).
PM Check Mechanical Operation
1. Verify that the following groups of controls (where applicable) are complete and undam-
aged, operate freely and correctly and are not clogged with debris or gel:
- Keyboard and UI controls
- Monitor Controls
- ECG Controls
2. Verify transducer holders and inserts function correctly.
- For systems with a “Park” position is available, verify the transducer is retained
securely.
- Verify secondary barrier doors operate freely and close completely.
- Verify caps and bezels are intact.
3. Verify the mechanical operation of the doors and user-accessible parts.
4. [For ABVS] Verify the free movement and bearing operation of the ABVS arm Joint A
(p/n 10434972), and Joint B (p/n 10434971), and conduct brake checks.
5. [For ABVS] Inspect Counterweight Cables for wear.
6. [For ABVS] Verify proper operation of the ABVS upper (p/n 10434988) and lower (p/n
10434989) Curtains.
7. [For ABVS] Inspect and adjust as necessary the Drive Unit Mounted Assembly (p/n
1044985).
8. [For ABVS] Inspect the Boom Arm for drift. If the Boom Arm moves freely without fric-
tion, adjust or replace the Boom Drift Pins.
1. Electrical safety testing is not required unless a primary electrical component has been replaced. pri-
mary electrical components are found in the AC subsystem of the ultrasound system.
1. Use the Service-specified tissue-mimicking phantom, or equivalent, and check the near
field in 2D imaging.
2. Look for dropout and lines in the image near the transducer face (dark columns ema-
nating into the image).
3. While scanning, flex the cable at the strain relief and verify that the image quality is not
affected.
4. Check the Freeze function using all applicable transducers, the control panel, and the
foots witch (if installed).
5. Correlate results with any diagnostic problems. If any diagnostic problems are found,
record the images for return with the Transducer.
QSQ Check Air Filter
For systems with air filters perform the following:
1. Clean or replace the air filter as required, or every six months. Refer to the User Man-
ual.
1. Freeze an image and test each printer by making a print of the image.
2. If necessary, optimize printer settings together with the customer. Refer to the applica-
ble Expert Service Manual for more information on optimizing settings.
QSQ VCR and/or DVR
1. Test the VCR and/or DVR by recording an image and playing it back.
2. Check the Doppler audio and verify it is being recorded and played back.
3. Verify the microphone operation.
4. If necessary, clean and test the VCR and/or DVR according to the OEM’s operating
instructions.
1. Discuss with the customer the maintenance findings and any items noted in the
included Maintenance Protocol.
2. Obtain the customer’s signature on the Maintenance Protocol.
3. Give the customer the completed Maintenance Protocol, and return a copy to the
Regional Service Office or Home Office, as appropriate to the region. Additional copies
may be distributed, as required, by the Country Service Organization.
