11.1.3 Cleaning of Patient Cables
The Patient cable is to be cleaned as follows:
1. Disconnect from the patient and also from the patient sensor.
2. Use a cloth rinsed in 70% isopropyl alcohol to wipe the entire patient cable.
3. Let the entire patient cable completely air dry long enough before re-use.
11.2 Maintenance
User maintenance is not required.
ATTENTION! Unit can be damaged!
Never correct defects on the unit, repair it or perform maintenance yourself!
Corrections of defects, repairs or any maintenance should be done exclusively by
Bitmos GmbH or by a Bitmos authorized medical device supplier!
NOTICE!
A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse oximeter probe or a
pulse oximeter
.
NOTICE!
If there is independent demonstration that a particular calibration curve is accurate for the
combination of a pulse oximeter and a pulse oximeter probe, then a functional tester can
measure the contribution of a monitor to the total error of a monitor/probe system. The
functional tester can then measure how accurately a particular pulse oximeter is
reproducing that calibration curve
.
11.2.1 Yearly Maintenance
The unit should be checked by the manufacturer or an authorized dealer once a year. Contact
the medical device supplier for the correct information.
11.2.2 User Check of Alarm Function
If difficulties occur with the unit or it is suspected the unit no longer functions properly, the
following function test can be performed. This does not however replace the yearly maintenance
check by the manufacturer.
To check the unit’s alarm function do the following:
1. Connect the sensor. Turn the unit ON.
The unit displays the actual oxygen saturation and pulse frequency values.
2. Set the oxygen saturation alarm limit at 5% below the displayed value. The new alarm
value for the upper oxygen saturation limit will display. A high SpO
2
alarm will occur. The
red LED will blink and the high priority alarm will sound.
3. Reset the upper alarm limit to 100%. The new alarm value will be accepted. The alarm
