Cleaning, Disinfection and Maintenance
6-4
Main Unit:
The main unit of the electrocardiograph should be protected from high temperature, isolation,
damp, dust or impact and the dust shied should be covered well if the equipment is not used;
when moving the intense vibration should be avoided;
Liquid should be protected from entering the equipment which may affect the performance
and safety of the equipment;
The performance of the electrocardiograph should be tested periodically by the medical
Instruments maintenance department.
Lead:
The integrality of the patient cable and lead wire should be examined periodically and
confirm the conduct situation is well;
The lead wires should be aligned to avoid knotting and blending of small angle;
The core wire or shielding layer are easier to be damaged, especially the places near the plug
of the two ends, do not pull or wrest forcibly when using, nip the plug parts with hand;
The cables and leads should be coiled into a disk with larger diameter in storage or be hung,
wresting or sharp angle folding should be avoided;
If the cables and lead wires are found to be damaged or aging, new cable and lead wires
should be replaced.
Electrode:
After the using of the electrode, it should be cleaned and avoid the residual conductive gel;
The suction bulb of the chest electrode should avoid the direct sunlight or being too hot;
After long time of using and for the reasons of corrosion and so on, the surface of the
electrode may be oxidized and the color will change, then new electrode should be replaced
to obtain good ECG records.
Discarding of the Equipment and Accessories:
Do not disposal the waste electric or electronic equipment and accessories as the unclassified civil waste.
Collect it separately so as to reuse, disposal, recycle or recover safely and properly.
