CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
WARNING
Non-flammable agents should be used
for cleaning and disinfection wherever possible.
If flammable agents are used for cleaning or
disinfection they should be allowed to evaporate
before reusing the electrosurgical unit.
CAUTION
The electrosurgical unit MUST be disconnected
from the mains power supply prior to cleaning.
Cleaning the electrosurgical unit
6.1 The cabinet should be cleaned with a sponge or
cloth dampened in a mild detergent or soap solution and
wiped dry.
♦ Do not use excessive amounts of liquid which could
enter the cabinet and damage internal components.
♦ The cabinet front panel can be wiped, as it is a
continuous membrane. Pressure on the touch buttons,
with the power supply off, will not cause mode changes.
Disinfecting the electrosurgical unit
6.2 Initially clean the unit as above. For disinfection,
Eschmann Equipment recommend primarily the use of
alcohol based disinfectants, e.g. 70% isopropanol/water
or 70% methyl alcohol/water. The cabinet should be wiped
with a sponge or cloth dampened in the above solution
and allowed to dry.
♦ Do not use excessive amounts of liquid which could
enter the cabinet and damage internal components,
also ensure the unit is completely dry before reusing
it.
Electrosurgical Accessories
6.3 All Eschmann Electrosurgical Accessories (see
section 7) come with full “Cleaning, Disinfection and Care
Instructions”, these should be followed at all times. If you
have misplaced the accessory instructions and require
another copy please quote Publication Number E-IM50
(Part No. 604802) for all Eschmann accessories.
CARE
6.4 Ensure that electrosurgical safety checks and
routine maintenance are carried out at regular intervals
(at least every six months) and only by Eschmann trained
personnel otherwise the warranty for the equipment could
be infringed.
6.5 If the unit is to be stored for any length of time it
should be plugged into the mains and switched on to charge
the internal battery. A charge period of 48 hours is required
to restore the battery to its full life of six months (or pro
rata, e.g. 8 hours for one month). Also note the required
storage conditions detailed in the Technical Data section.
Service
Equipment Failure
6.6 If the unit or accessories fail any of the checks or
operational requirements included in this manual, refer to
the Eschmann After Sales Service Department and do not
use the equipment.
Fuse Failure
6.7 Two fuses are located in holders on the rear panel
(illustration 11). To gain access to a fuse, firstly ensure
that the electrosurgical unit is disconnected from the mains
power supply and then, using a screwdriver, release the
fuse cap and withdraw the fuse. If necessary, replace the
fuse with a fuse of the correct type and rating (see Technical
Data). If repeated blowing of a fuse(s) occurs, either when
the unit is switched on or during use, call the Eschmann
After Sales Service Department (see inside front cover).
6.8 A failed fuse is usually an indication of a fault that
has occurred somewhere in the unit. Because of this
Eschmann After Sales Service Department should always
be contacted as soon as a failed fuse is identified or
suspected.
Additional Information
6.9 Eschmann Equipment will make available on
request circuit diagrams, component parts lists, description
and calibration instructions which will assist the users’
appropriately qualified technical personnel to repair those
parts of the equipment which are considered ‘user
repairable’ by Eschmann Equipment.
