Caution:
Do not autoclave the Digital Signal Converter or Monitor.
Autoclaving will seriously damage both components.
Avoid liquid ingress to the Patient Interface Cable. Contact of fluids
with the PIC sensor connectors can interfere with PIC performance.
Cleaning the Monitor Display
Clean the monitor display screen with a mild solution of detergent and warm water or a
commercial display screen cleaner, available through personal computer dealers. To
avoid scratching the screen, never use abrasive cleaners.
6.2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The A-2000 monitor is designed so that no periodic adjustment or calibration is required.
Checking the Battery
Check the battery periodically by operating an A-2000 that has been disconnected from
the wall socket and that has been charging the battery for at least 4 hours. If the A-2000
fails to operate reliably from the battery for 20 minutes, battery replacement is required.
WARNING!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: DO NOT REMOVE MONITOR
COVERS DURING OPERATION OR WHILE POWER IS CONNECTED
TO MONITOR.
GROUND WIRE LEAKAGE CURRENT MUST BE CHECKED
WHENEVER INSTRUMENT CASE IS OPENED BY A QUALIFIED
BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN.
Caution:
Check the battery periodically by operating an A-2000 that has been
disconnected from the wall socket and that has been charging the
battery for at least four hours. After long periods of storage (e.g.,
greater than 1 month) it may be necessary to cycle (charge, then
discharge) the battery a few times to get full charge capacity. If the
A-2000 fails to operate reliably from the battery for twenty minutes,
battery replacement is required.
The A-2000 contains an internal Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery. The
battery must be removed by a qualified service technician and
disposed of or recycled in accordance with the national laws of the
country. Contact Aspect Medical Systems, Inc. or the local
distributor for servicing of battery.
