Inspecting the Equipment and Accessories
You should perform a visual inspection before each use, and in accordance with your hospital's
policy. With the monitor switched off:
1 Examine unit exteriors for cleanliness and general physical condition. Make sure that the housings
are not cracked or broken, that everything is present, that there are no spilled liquids that may have
entered the housing, and that there are no signs of abuse.
2 Inspect all accessories (transducers, sensors and cables, and so forth). Do not use a damaged
accessory.
3 Switch the monitor on and make sure the display is bright enough. If the brightness is not
adequate, contact your service personnel or your supplier.
Inspecting the Cables and Cords
1 Examine all system cables, the power plug and cord for damage. Make sure that the prongs of the
plug do not move in the casing. If damaged, replace it with an appropriate power cord.
2 Inspect the cables, leads and their strain reliefs for general condition. Make sure there are no
breaks in the insulation. Make sure that the connectors are properly engaged at each end to
prevent rotation or other strain.
3 Carry out performance assurance checks as described in the monitor's Service Guide.
