This chapter explains unpacking, receipt inspection, and setup.
2.1 Receipt, Inspection
and Return
1. Inspect the outer box for damage.
2. Carefully unpack all items from the box and check to see that you
have the following items:
• QA-1290 NIBP Analyzer (P.N. 17500)
• QA-1290 Tubing Kit (P.N. 17515)
• BP Cuff Mandrels – adult and neonate
• QA-1290 User & Service Manual (P.N. 17525)
3. If you note physical damage, or if the unit fails to function accord-
ing to specification, inform the supplier immediately. When
METRON or the company’s Sales Agent is informed, measures
will be taken to either repair the unit or dispatch a replacement.
The customer will not have to wait for a claim to be investigated
by the Sales Agent. The customer should place a new purchase or-
der to ensure delivery.
4. When returning an instrument to METRON, or the Sales Agent,
fill out the address label, describe what is wrong with the instru-
ment, and provide the model and serial number. If possible, use the
original packaging material for return shipping. Otherwise, repack
the unit using:
• a reinforced cardboard box, strong enough to carry the
weight of the unit.
• at least 5 cm of shock-absorbing material around the unit.
• nonabrasive dust-free material for the other parts.
Repack the unit in a manner to ensure that it cannot shift in the
box during shipment.
METRON’s product warranty is on page ii of this manual. The
warranty does not cover freight charges. C.O.D. will not be ac-
cepted without authorization from METRON or its Sales Agent.
