5 CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Important: Before cleaning or disinfecting, the device must always be
disconnected from the mains power supply by pulling the plug.
The device may only be cleaned using a soft cloth with water-soluble, non-
aggressive cleaning agent or a special cleaning agent for plastics.
For the purposes of disinfection, only ready-made alcohol-based spray
disinfectants (e.g. Meliseptol Foam pure, BRAUN) must be used and the
manufacturer’s instructions must be followed.
Do not disinfect the device with steam (i.e. in autoclaves), hot air or
thermochemical cleaning solutions.
6 PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
The periodic technical safety inspections (according to the local standards in
force - e.g. EN 62353) on the protherm II must be carried out at least every 12
months, by persons authorized to carry out such inspections based on their
training, knowledge and practical experience.
The results of the periodic inspection must be documented, along with the date,
the inspecting agency and the device number.
During the measurements, the heating device may not be exposed to sunlight,
draughts or other conditions which could affect the measurement.
Important: If a malfunction is discovered during the periodic inspection,
suitable warning signs should be attached to the device to ensure that
it is not used before the required service and repair work has been
carried out.
CHECKING THE WARM-UP PERIOD
This is the time taken by the protherm II to heat up to 38.5 °C from room temperature.
If this time is much more than one minute, there is a malfunction.
CHECKING THE CONTROL TEMPERATURE
The control temperature is checked on the lower third of the rear heating plates,
about 7 cm from the right-hand edge of the device. The sensor of a suitable contact
thermometer (tolerance ± 0.15 °C) is fixed to this place e.g. using adhesive tape.
