Chapter 13 Cleaning, Care and Maintenance
13.1 Cleaning
CAUTION :
Turn off the power before cleaning and disinfection. The mains supply must be
switched off if it is in use.
13.1.1 Cleaning the Main Unit and the Patient Cable
The surfaces of the main unit and the patient cable can be wiped with a clean soft cloth
damped in soapy water or non-caustic neutral detergent. After that, remove detergent
remainder with a clean dry cloth.
13.1.2 Cleaning the Reusable Electrodes
Remove the remainder gel from the electrodes with a clean soft cloth first. Take suction
bulbs and metal cups of chest electrodes apart, and take clamps and metal parts of limb
electrodes apart. Clean them in warm water and make sure there is no remainder gel. Dry the
electrodes with a clean dry cloth or air dry naturally.
13.1.3 Cleaning the Print Head
Dirty and soiled thermal print head will deteriorate the printing definition. So it should be
cleaned at least once a month regularly.
Open the recorder casing and remove the paper. Wipe the print head gently with a clean soft
cloth damped in 75
% alcohol. For stubborn stain, soak it with a little alcohol first and wipe it
off with a clean soft cloth. After air dried, load the recorder paper and shut the recorder
casing.
CAUTION :
1. Prevent the detergent from seeping into the main unit while cleaning. Do not
immerse the unit or the patient cable into liquid under any circumstances.
2. Do not clean the unit and accessories with abrasive fabric and avoid scratching
the electrodes.
13.2 Disinfection
To avoid permanent damage to the equipment, disinfection can be performed only when it is
considered as necessary according to your hospital’s regulations.
Before disinfection, clean the equipment first. Then wipe the surfaces of the unit and the
patient cable with hospital standard disinfectant.
