Returning/Shipping Probes and Repair Parts

Equipment being returned must be clean and free of blood and other infectious substances.

GE policy states that body fluids must be properly removed from any part or equipment prior to

shipment. GE employees, as well as customers, are responsible for ensuring that parts/equipment have

been properly decontaminated prior to shipment. Under no circumstance should a part or equipment

with visible body fluids be taken or shipped from a clinic or site (for example, body coils or an ultrasound

Probe). The purpose of the regulation is to protect employees in the transportation industry, as well as

the people who will receive or open this package.

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has ruled that "items that were saturated and/or

dripping with human blood that are now caked with dried blood; or which were used or intended

for use in patient care" are "regulated medical waste" for transportation purposes and must be

transported as a hazardous material.
