Procedure
Inspect IUI Connectors
• To prevent an electrical hazard:
• Turn the instrument off and unplug the power cord from AC power before cleaning.
• Do not spray fluids directly onto the instrument or into the IUI connectors.
• D
o not steam autoclave, EtO sterilize, immerse the instrument in fluids, or allow
flui
ds to enter the instrument case.
• Do not connect a module until the IUI connectors are thoroughly dry
.
• Do not use compressed air to dry the instrument; this could force fluid into the
instrument.
Inserting a finger or other object into the IUI connector, when the module is attached to the PC

Failure to perform these inspections can result in improper instrument operation.
Preventive maintenance inspections should only be performed by qualified service personnel.
