Appendix 1 - Handling & Environmental Information
A1.1
Decontamination
•
Devices removed from subjects must be considered to be contaminated.
•
The operator must use gloves to handle such devices before and during
de-contamination.
•
The Actiheart casing, cable and clip must be carefully cleaned to
minimise any potential contamination. We have used Clinell Universal
Wipes for this purpose, but similar products are available from other
manufacturers.
•
Take care not to place excessive stress on the cable assembly during
cleaning.
A1.2 Battery Care
•
The device is INTERNALLY POWERED and operates at voltages below
5VDC; there is hence no risk from electric shock (equipment Type B).
•
The battery is
NOT
user replaceable
–
no attempt should be made to
open the device casing
.
•
The battery is re-chargeable; to maximise the service life of the battery,
ensure it is not left for long periods completely flat or completely charged.
It is recommended to charge after use, and only avoid fully recharging if
the device will be left stored for a long period, when it should be left part-
charged.
A1.3 Disposal
Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE) The EU requires, under the
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive 2012/19/EU, that
manufacturers and/or distributors of Electronic and/or Electrical Equipment
manage and pay for the collection and further handling of WEEE products, as
well as provide WEEE-related information to their customers.
CamNtech has taken the following approach to complying with this Directive:
•
CamNtech has registered with an approved producer compliance scheme
(PCS) in accordance with the requirements of the WEEE Directive.
•
CamNtech will provide free recycling for all of its WEEE products when
returned to them.
•
CamNtech WEEE products will be designed with recycling, reuse and
waste management as a consideration.
•
CamNtech WEEE products will be labelled or stamped with the WEEE
marking in accordance with European Standard EN 50419
