Preventative Maintenance Care and Cleaning of 3 and 5-lead ECG Cables and Leadwires
CAUTION: Do not clean the Gas Module while it is on and/or plugged
in.
CAUTION: The internal sampling system of the Gas Module does not
need to be cleaned or sterilized. There is no reverse flow
back to the patient. If the internal sampling system is
suspected to be clogged or dirty, the module should be
serviced by an authorized service person only.
2. The fan dust filter should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis, at least once every
two months.
• Locate fan on front panel.
• Remove the filter by pulling the dust filter cover.
• Remove the dust from the filter.
• Let the filter soak in a mild detergent solution.
• Rinse the filter and let dry completely before re-installing.
CAUTION: If the Gas Module dust filter cannot be cleaned or is
damaged, replace it with the replacement dust filter part
number 0378-00-0040. Use of another type filter may
decrease the cooling effectivity and cause damage to the
Gas Module.
3. The Water Trap Reservoir must be checked and emptied whenever changing patients or
if it is more than half full.
• To remove the water trap, push the water trap latch to the right. The water trap is
spring loaded and will pop out. An Air Leak message will be displayed. The monitor
will suspend sampling.
• Detach the reservoir from the water trap assembly by pulling it down carefully.
• Empty the reservoir and rinse with water only.
• Re-attach the reservoir to the assembly tightly.
• Re-install the whole unit into the Gas Module making sure the latch is set. Check that
the Air Leak message disappears and monitoring resumes.
NOTE: Do not disinfect or open the water trap. If an occlusion
message appears it may be necessary to replace the water
trap assembly part number 0202-00-0129.
4. The Water Trap Assembly must be replaced every two months.
5.9 Care and Cleaning of 3 and 5-lead ECG Cables
and Leadwires
Recommended cleaning method of ECG cables and leadwires is a cloth wipe using ordinary
alcohol-free hand soap or USP green soap tincture. When disinfection is required, a cloth
wipe using disinfectants such as isopropyl alcohol, chlorine bleach in water (1:10 mixture) or
2% Glutaraldehyde solution (i.e., Cidex) is recommended. After cleaning, the ECG cables
and leadwires should be wiped with water using a clean damp cloth then dried with a clean
dry cloth.
