Appendix E – Maintenance and Storage of the ECG Module
Preventative Inspection
A preventative inspection should occur prior to each use of the ECG module to verify that there is no visible damage to the unit that
may cause it to malfunction.
Visual inspection should include the ECG module and all cables for signs of damage and deterioration, including, but not limited to,
cracks, cuts, discoloration, or oxidation. If a cable or other accessory exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it prior to using the
ECG module.
Cleaning
Clean the outside of the ECG module with a mild solution of detergent and water, using a soft cloth. Avoid using excessive amounts of
solution, which may infiltrate the connectors, battery compartments, or ECG module. If necessary, use a mild sterilizing detergent with
low alcohol content, such as those generally used in hospitals.
Verify that all equipment, including accessories, is completely dry before using.
Storage
Avoid extreme humidity and heat during storage.
If applicable: To prevent damage to the IQecg
®
module due to battery leakage or oxidation, remove all batteries if the module will not be
used for a long period of time.
