The concerns listed can seriously affect the safety of patients
undergoing a diagnostic ultrasound examination.
Always include proper identification with all patient data and
verify the accuracy of the patient's name and ID numbers when
entering such data. Make sure correct patient ID is provided on
all recorded data and hard copy prints. Identification errors could
result in an incorrect diagnosis.
The ultrasound system is not meant to be long term storage for
patient data or images. The customers are responsible for the
data on the system and a regular backup is highly
recommended.
It is advisable to back up system data prior to any service
repairs to the hard drive. It is always possible during system
failure and repair to lose patient data. GE will not be held
responsible for the loss of this data.
