CADENCE II Fetal Monitor User Manual

The gathering of dew on the display may occur with abrupt temperature or humidity changes. A
table environment is recommended.
Scratching and damaging the display should be avoided.
Avoid high voltage and static charge.
8.1.3 Maintenance of the Transducers
Keep the transducers in a dry environment, where the temperature does not exceed 45°C (113 ºF).
Gel must be wiped from the US transducer after use. These precautions will prolong the life of
the transducer.
Although transducers are designed for durability, they should be handled with care. Rough
handling could damage the cover, piezoelectric crystals and mechanical parts. Contacting the
transducers with hard or sharp objects should be avoided.
Do not excessively flex the cables.
8.1.4 Storage of Recorder Papers
When storing recorder papers (including used paper with trends):
Do not store them in plastic envelopes.
Do not expose them to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light.
Do not exceed a storage temperature of 40 ºC (104 ºF). Do not exceed a relative humidity of 80%.
Storage conditions outside these limits may distort the paper and adversely affect the accuracy of
grid lines or make the trend unreadable.
8.1.5 Cleaning of the Recorder
The recorder platen, thermal print head and paper sensing mechanism must be cleaned at least
once a year or when needed (when the printed trends become faint).
To clean the recorder:
1) Clean the recorder platen with a lint-free cloth dampened in soap / water solution.
2) Wipe the thermal array using a cotton swab moistened with 70% Isopropyl alcohol-based
solution.
3) Check that the paper sensing mechanism is free of dust.
CAUTION :
Only use the recorder paper provided by the manufacturer, or it may damage the
recorder. This kind of damage is not covered by warranty.
