environment with respect to electrical hazards. Individual
connection of each piece of equipment to fixed mains socket-
outlets is the preferred means of connection.
•
When used in ambient temperatures of 38 °C and above, do not
touch the enclosure for more than a minute continuously.
If multiple portable socket outlets are used, they are subject to the
following constraints:
•
They shall not be placed on the floor.
•
Additional multiple portable socket outlets or extension cords
shall not be connected to the system.
•
They shall only be used for supplying power to equipment which is
intended to form part of the system.
Cleaning and Sterilization
ADInstruments products may be wiped down with a lint free cloth
moistened with industrial methylated spirit. Refer to the Data Card
supplied with transducers and accessories for specific cleaning and
sterilizing instructions
.
Inspection and Maintenance
The Human NIBP Nano components are maintenance-free and do not
require periodic inspection to ensure safe operation. There is no need to
open any of the device’s components for inspection or maintenance, and
doing so within the warranty period will void the warranty.
The zero adjustment of all built-in pressure transducers is automatic,
except for the pressure transducer in the Height Correction Unit for which
zeroing has to be performed manually (Performing the Height Correction
Procedure on page 29). It is the responsibility of the operator to
periodically check the zeros and sensitivities of the transducers.
Human NIBP components leave our premises with carefully calibrated
transducers. Immediately aft er transport, or at any time that the
instrument is dropped or otherwise damaged, the zeros and calibrations
should be rechecked. These checks are quick and easy to perform (see
Pressure check on page 39). Follow these instructions for testing the
device if performing such tests.
Note:
Do not use other disin-
fecting agents (like alco-
hol) for cuff cleaning as
they may compromise
bladder integrity.
Doing so may reduce
measurement accuracy
or lifespan of a finger
cuff .
