routine maintenance and disposalchapter 10 10-1
The Terumo Cardiovascular Systems CDI Blood parameter Monitoring System 550
needs minimal routine maintenance including battery charging and surface clean-
ing. This chapter gives the instructions you need for these two tasks as well as
recommended routine maintenance.
Note: If you suspect that the system isn’t functioning properly, see Chapter 9,
“Troubleshooting,” for help. If you still need help after consulting Chapter 9, contact
your Terumo representative or Customer Administration. Appendix E, “Warranty
and service,” describes the service policy and gives phone numbers you can call
for help.
Warning
• Turn off the system power before inspection, cleaning, or storage.
Caution
• Do not use chemical solvents such as alcohol, ether, and acetone — or
anesthetics such as Forane (isourane) — as cleaning agents directly on
any part of the system. These chemicals can be destructive to the device.
Follow the cleaning procedure described in the next section.
Routine cleaning
To keep the CDI System 550 working properly, make sure the optical pathways stay
clean and free of surface cuts, abrasions, and contamination. Check the optical path-
ways regularly for damage and debris, paying special attention to the face of the BPM
cable-head, the CDI H/S Probe face, and the optical reference color chips.
If these surfaces need cleaning, use a soft, lint-free, damp cloth with water to remove
any foreign material. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean, dry, and soft lint-free
cloth.
For daily cleaning of the monitor enclosures, monitor pole clamp, tray and cables, use
ordinary soap and water and a soft, lint-free, damp cloth. If liquid accidentally spills
onto the monitor or calibrator, clean up the spill as soon as possible to prevent the
liquid from settling into the joints.
To disinfect the monitor and cables, use a 10% chlorine bleach solution on a soft, lint-
free, damp cloth.
Note: Ensure the printer cover is closed securely to maintain proper protection from
liquids entering the printer area and disrupting the performance of the monitor.
