System Care and Maintenance
To ensure that the Vivid 7/Vivid 7 PRO unit constantly operates 
at maximum efficiency we recommend that the following 
procedures be observed as part of the customer’s internal 
routine maintenance program.
Inspecting the system
Monthly
Examine the following on a monthly basis (or whenever there is 
a reason to assume that any issue may have occurred):
•  Connectors on cables, for any mechanical defects
•  Entire length of electrical and power cables, for cuts or 
abrasions
•  Equipment, for loose or missing hardware
•  Control panel for defects
• Brakes
CAUTIONThe user must ensure that safety inspections are performed at 
least every 12 months according to the requirements of the 
patient safety standard IEC 60601-1 (1988).
Only trained persons are allowed to perform the safety 
inspections mentioned above.
Technical descriptions are available on request.
CAUTIONIf any defects are observed or malfunctions occur, DO NOT 
operate the equipment, and inform a qualified service person.
WARNINGTo avoid electrical shock hazard, do not remove panels or covers 
from the unit.

Cleaning the unit
Weekly
The Vivid 7/Vivid 7 PRO ultrasound unit requires weekly care 
and maintenance to function safely and properly. The following 
components should be cleaned:
System cabinet
1. Moisten a soft, non-abrasive folded cloth with a mild, 
general purpose, non-abrasive soap and water solution or 
a general purpose disinfectant.
2. Wipe down the top, front, back and both sides of the 
cabinet. Do not spray any liquid directly into the unit.
Monitor
1. Apply a glass cleaner to a soft non-abrasive folded cloth. 
2. Gently wipe the monitor face.
Diligent cleaning of 
the Vivid 7 console 
reduces the risk of 
spreading infection 
from person to per-
son, and also helps 
to maintain a clean 
working environ-
ment.Control panel
1. Turn off the power to the system.
2. Moisten a soft, non-abrasive folded cloth with water or a 
mild, non-abrasive soap and water solution.
3. Gently wipe the surface of the console.
For difficult spots or general cleaning, an all-purpose cleaner 
may also be used.
Air filter
Ever y three months
Clean the unit’s air filter to ensure that a clogged filter does not 
cause the unit to overheat and reduce system performance and 
reliability.
The air filter is situated in the back of the system.
