Safety

Before working in any GE Healthcare MR suite or performing any GE Healthcare service procedure, you must:

  • Have read and understood all hazard conditions and safety requirements in the latest revision of the GE Healthcare MR Service Safety Manual (5452735).
  • Have successfully completed all relevant GE Healthcare Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) courses (or for non-GE employees, equivalent workplace training courses).
  • Comply with all site-specific training and workplace safety requirements.

If you have any safety concerns at any time, do not begin work or immediately stop work and move to a safe location. Immediately contact your supervisor or site safety officer for instructions on how to proceed.

There are three tasks that must be completed and checked off:

  • Intercom Adjustments
  • Picture Archiving and Communication System-Hospital Information System/Radiology Information System (PACS-HIS/RIS) and networking
  • Pneumatic Patient Alert Check

Procedure

  1. Insert the service key in the system PC.
  2. Launch the Service Browser (Common Service Desktop).
  3. Click the Calibration tab.
    note: If you are in Install or Upgrade mode, click Install and Calibration Wizard and then click Click here to start the tool.
  4. If it is required to be completed, the GOC Calibrations checklist is one of the final items listed in the ICW.
