Remote Access to Service Platform
7-5-1 General
This offers GE technicians the possibility to view the entire customer´s desktop and operation system.
Using VCO (Virtual Console Observation) a service technician or the OnLine Center can access and
modify all PC settings and programs or run diagnostics on the customer´s ultrasound scanner.
Remote access to the Voluson® P8 / Voluson® P6 scanner requires permission and customer input
before a GE service technician or OLC can access the customer’s ultrasound scanner remotely.
“Disruptive Mode” can be selected by the customer directly on the Voluson® P8 / Voluson® P6 (see:
Section 7-5-2 on page 7-13), or remotely by the service technician or OLC.
