Periodic maintenance of the Capsule Neuron
Authorized Access
Certain components on the Capsule Neuron are only accessible to Capsule technical support
personnel. These elements are held in place using special screws referred to as “hexalobular
internal”.
However, other components on the Capsule Neuron, such as the main battery, can be removed by
biomed staff, for purposes of maintenance or cleaning, for example. These elements are held in
place using Philips screws.
Inspections
Once per year, carry out an inspection of:
• the power cable
• the power brick
Look for any visible or other damage, overheating, or corrosion. A damaged power cable or power
brick can affect the operation of the Capsule Neuron. Replace damaged components with new
components.
Storing the Capsule Neuron
If the Capsule Neuron is not in use, make sure that you respect its storage conditions:
• Temperature: -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F)
• Humidity: 0% to 95% RH non-condensing
• Atmospheric pressure: 500 hPa to 1060 hPa
Maintenance of the Capsule Neuron batteries
Cleaning
When cleaning the Capsule Neuron batteries, apply the cleaning procedures and precautions
described above under “Periodic cleaning and disinfection”.
Short-term maintenance
For daily usage purposes, it is recommended that you keep the batteries in charge mode; that is,
keep the batteries installed in the Capsule Neuron, and keep the Capsule Neuron connected to the
electrical mains.
Caution: Power off the Capsule Neuron before you inspect the power cable and power brick.
