General The AMX−4+ contains operating safeguards to provide maximum safety. Before calling for service, be certain proper operating procedures are being used. Refer to Direction 2166913−100, AMX−4+ Operating Manual, or Direction 2166911−100, AMX−4+ International Operation for proper operating procedures. Satisfactory equipment performance requires the use of service personnel specially trained on x−ray apparatus. The General Electric Company, Medical Systems, is responsible for the effects on safety, reliability, and performance only if the following conditions are met:
CAUTION
D
The electrical wiring of the relevant rooms complies with all national and local codes.
D
All assembly operations, extensions, re−adjustments, modifications or repairs are carried out by General Electric Company, Medical Systems, authorized service representatives.
D
The equipment is used in accordance with the instructions for use. Refer to Direction 2166913−100, AMX−4+ Operating Manual, or Direction 2166911−100, AMX−4+ International Operation for proper operating procedures. Only trained and qualified personnel should be permitted access to the internal parts of this equipment.
The General Electric Company, Medical Systems, and its associates, maintain a worldwide organization of stations from which one may obtain skilled x−ray service. Arrangements can usually be made to furnish preventive and/or emergency service on a contract basis. A General Electric Medical Systems representative will be glad to discuss this plan. 1-3
Cleaning The AMX−4+ should be cleaned frequently, particularly if corroding chemicals are present. Use a cloth slightly moistened in warm, soapy water to clean all surfaces. Wipe with a cloth slightly moistened in clean water. Do not use cleaners or solvents of any kind. They may remove markings and could damage the finish and plastic covers.

Inspection In order to assure continued performance of this x−ray equipment, a periodic maintenance program must be established in accordance with 2173227−100 AMX−4+ Periodic Maintenance. It is the owner’s responsibility to supply or arrange for this service. Functional Check verifies that the AMX−4+ is functioning correctly, that wear or damage has not been sustained during use, that diagnostic self−test can be passed, and x−rays can be made. It does not indicate that the unit is performing to specifications. Refer to Direction 2173227−100, AMX−4+ Periodic Maintenance, for tests that verify specified performance. These checks are divided into three parts: Visual Inspection, Functional Check, and Power Cord Check. Visual Inspection confirms legibility of operator indicators, and general safety. Functional Check confirms equipment operation and function. Power Cord Check verifies the integrity of the power cord for safe operation. At the start of each shift, a Visual Inspection and Functional Check should be performed to verify operation. Functional Check should also be used to verify operation after the AMX−4+ is serviced.
