Planned Maintenance
- Planned Maintenance (PM) schedule overview
  Planned Maintenance (PM) tasks are developed from design requirement and operations/use assumptions to provide for the minimum required maintenance that maintains specified equipment design performance, high image quality, and safety. GE Healthcare (GEHC) advanced service methods are developed to maximize efficiency and use system access time as productively as possible, as described in the lifecycle maintenance statement.

  - Deionization procedure
  - Emergency Stop (E-Stop) planned maintenance
  - Checking InSite connectivity and ProDiags
  - Inspecting the cryogen vent
    Inspect the cryogen vent glass connection and clamp for damage, and weep hole for debris.
  - Checking InSite Remote Service Platform (RSvP) connectivity and ProDiags functionality
    Make sure the Remote Service Platform (RSvP) has connectivity and ProDiags is functioning properly.
  - Checking the oxygen monitor
    References to various Oxygen Monitor Subsystem Manuals.
  - Doing an MRU yearly service check (MRU, ERU, or EDU PM testing matrix)
    The model number is listed on the side of the MRU, ERU, or EDU. Refer to the appropriate vendor manual available from the online documentation library for applicable testing procedures.
  - Checking the pneumatic patient alert system
    Makes sure the stand-alone pneumatic patient alerts system is operating properly.
  - Checking and filling hydraulic fluid
    Checks and adjusts the hydraulic fluid level for the dockable patient table.
  - Body coil air flow functional check
  - Cleaning or replacing the body coil blower air flow filter
    Clean and/or replace the body coil blower air flow filter.
  - Checking the patient handling system with the laser leveling tool
    The proper alignment of the entire patient handling system is important for good image quality output from the GE MR scanners.
  - MDP power and ground and battery replacement label check
    MDP power and ground connections must be tight in order to avoid system failures.
  - Checking and adjusting the patient intercom functionality
    GOC Audio Assembly (GOCAA) controls are adjusted at factory for best sound quality. This document describes how to check and confirm volume and quality of sound heard from speaker in the magnet bore and from speaker at the Scan Control and Intercom Module (SCIM). Directions for sound adjustments are also provided if needed.

    Test the functionality of the leak sensors.
  - Doing the UPM functional check (head and body)
    Do the UPM head and body functional check to make sure the measured RF power is within the expected range.
  - Dual drive quadrature tool
  - Doing DQA calibration
    The DQA tool determines proper gradient polarity and proper gradient wiring by scanning a series of axial and coronal images of the DQA III phantom.
  - Testing PAC leakage current
    Measure and record the PAC leakage current data.
  - Checking the gradient and system PDU power and ground connection
    PDU power and ground connections need to be tight in order to avoid system failures.

Replacing coil plug connector spindle

About this task

Follow this procedure to replace the spindle tip on the DVMR coil connector.

Procedure

Important: The new spindle contains beryllium copper and is nickel plated. Wash your hands thoroughly after completing this procedure.
Move the coil with the defective spindle to a suitable location outside of the Magnet Room.
Confirm that all components (shown below) are included in the HDv P-Port Replacement Spindle Tip Kit.

Note: Counter Sunk Screw is 8 mm long and has a red coating. A hexagonal socket is required.

Figure 1. Spindle tip and M3 counter sunk screw
Place the unpopulated connector found in Spindle Tip Replacement Tool kit (5150668-33) into the coil plug connector, and rotate the handle clockwise to lock the position as shown.

Figure 2. Placing unpopulated connector into plug

Figure 3. Rotating unpopulated connector to lock in position
Using the T10 Torx or a 2 mm Allen wrench, loosen the screw on the unpopulated connector (as shown) with only one rotation counterclockwise.

Figure 4. Loosening screw on unpopulated connector
Remove the unpopulated connector from the coil plug connector.
Loosen and remove the screw from the plug using either the T10 Torx or a 2 mm Allen wrench as shown. Discard the screw.

Note: The screw from the plug must not be reused. If the screw is reused, it may loosen and the spindle may fall off.

Figure 5. Removing screw from plug
Replace the spindle tip and the counter sunk screw, and turn the screw using a 2 mm Allen wrench, but do not tighten.

Figure 6. Spindle tip and screw replaced
Place the unpopulated connector into the plug again, and rotate the handle clockwise into the locked position as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.
Hand tighten the screw, and turn it an additional 1/10 turn (1.24 N m) with the 2 mm Allen wrench as shown.

Figure 7. Tightening screw in unpopulated connector
Remove the blank P-port plug, and save the plug and Torx bit driver for future use.
Dispose of the removed parts according to the SDS provided with the parts kit.
