Servicing the GE Family Ultrasound Logiq E9 & Vivid E9 (2.5 Days)

Overview

Ultrasound systems are found in most radiological/diagnostic imaging departments. They are typically exposed to a higher abuse level due to elevator openings, tight room entrances, limited patient access, and lack of space for maneuverability. This constant abuse will cause premature mechanical failure if not properly identified and corrected early. The trained service professional will be taught the skills necessary for mechanical, electromechanical, and electronic maintenance of the Ultrasound system. Each sub-system of the mechanical unit and the generator are thoroughly analyzed.

Prerequisites

To attend this course, the service professional must have a good understanding of the principles of Ultrasound or 3 years equivalent experience.
