12. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Check battery works properly.
If you notice anything needing a repair, contact an authorised assistance operator to perform it.
12.3.2. Patient cable cleaning
Before cleaning, remove the cables and terminations.
For the general cleaning of cables and terminations use a soft lint-free cloth slightly moistened with
a mild soap and water solution. Clean and air dry.
For cable and termination disinfection, clean the outside with a soft lint-free cloth using a Sodium
Hypochlorite solution (water and bleach at 10%): minimum dilution 1:500 (minimum 100 ppm of
free chlorine) and maximum dilution: 1:10 in compliance with the APIC guidelines for the Selection
and Use of Disinfectants.
Pay attention to the excess liquid as contact with metal parts may result in corrosion.
Do not immerse the cable terminations. Immersion may result in metal corrosion.
Do not dry excessively or use forced heat to dry.
ATTENTION: Keep the liquid from penetrating into the device and do not try to clean/disinfect the device or
patients' leads by immersing them in liquid, autoclave and steam cleaning. Protect the leads against strong
ultra-violet radiation. Do not sterilise the device or the ECG lead cables with ethylene oxide gas (EO).
12.3.3. Device cleaning
Unplug the device. Clean the external surface of the device with a damp lint-free cloth, using a neutral
detergent diluted with water. Thoroughly dry with a clean cloth or paper napkin after washing.
The cleaning solutions allowed are:
90% Ethyl alcohol solution
90% Methyl alcohol solution
90% Isopropyl alcohol solution - only for plastic parts and not for the display/keyboard area.
Hydrogen Peroxide Solution at 10V
Hydrogen Peroxide Solution at 36V
2% sodium hypochlorite solution
ATTENTION: Improper cleaning products and operations may damage the device, render the terminals and
cables fragile, corrode the metal and invalidate the warranty. Use caution and adopt the correct procedures
when cleaning and checking the device.
