GE Voluson S8 - 2.5.4 Cleaning and Maintenance

•
The ECG module is not intended for ECG diagnosis. It must not be used for an intra-
operative application of the heart.
•
Monitor: Not for use as a cardiac monitor.
•
Only the patient cable supplied by GE Healthcare, and only recommended electrodes
must be used.
•
Take care that neither bare parts of one of the three electrodes nor the patient comes
into contact with conductive parts (e.g., metal parts of the examination bed, trolley, or
similar).
•
If the use of a HF surgical system with simultaneously connected ECG electrodes
becomes necessary, a large distance of ECG electrodes from the surgical field and a
perfect position of the neutral electrode of the HF surgical system must be observed
(avoiding burning risk).
•
If the use of a defibrillator becomes necessary, there must be no ECG adhesive
electrodes and no conductive paste between the contact positions of the defibrillator
plates (avoid current bridge; the signal input of the ECG module is defibrillator-safe).

2.5.4 Cleaning and Maintenance
Prior to cleaning any part of the system:
1. Turn off the system power. If possible, disconnect the power cord.
To clean the system cabinet:
1. Moisten a soft, non-abrasive folded cloth with a mild,general purpose, non-abrasive soap
and water solution.
2. Wipe down the top, front, back, and both sides of the system cabinet.
Do not spray any liquid directly into the unit.
To clean the monitor face:
Use a soft, folded cloth. Gently wipe the monitor face. Do NOT use a glass cleaner that has a
hydrocarbon base (such as Benzene, Methyl Alcohol or Methyl Ethyl Ketone) on monitors with
the filter (anti-glare shield). Hard rubbing will also damage the filter.
When cleaning the monitor, make sure not to scratch the monitor.
To clean the operator control panel:
1.
Moisten a soft, non-abrasive folded cloth with a mild,general purpose, non-abrasive soap
and water solution.
2. Wipe down operator control panel.
3. Use a cotton swab to clean around keys or controls. Use a toothpick to remove solids
from between keys and controls.
When cleaning the operator control panel, make sure not to spill or spray any liquid on the
controls, into the system cabinet, or in the probe connection receptacle.
