11.1 Cleaning and Maintaining the Patient Cable and
Reusable Electrodes
WARNING
Failure on the part of the responsible individual hospital or institution employing this
equipment to implement a satisfactory maintenance schedule may cause undue
equipment failures and possible health hazards.
♦
Clean the patient cable with a clean soft cloth. Do not use the detergent containing
alcohol to clean the patient cable.
♦
Integrity of the patient cable, including the main cable and lead wires, should be
checked regularly. Make sure that it is conductible.
♦
Do not drag or twist the patient cable with excessive stress while using it. Hold the
connector plugs instead of the cable when connecting or disconnecting the patient
cable.
♦
Align the patient cable to avoid twisting, knotting or crooking at a closed angle while
using it.
♦
Store the lead wires in a big wheel.
♦
Once damage or aging of the patient cable is found, replace it with a new one
immediately.
Remove the remainder gel from the electrodes with a clean soft cloth first. Take suction bulbs and
metal cups of chest electrodes apart, and take clamps and metal parts of limb electrodes apart.
Clean them in warm water and make sure that there is no remainder gel. Dry the electrodes with a
clean dry cloth or air dry naturally.
CAUTION
1. The device and accessories are to be disposed of according to local regulations after
their useful lives. Alternatively, they can be returned to the dealer or the manufacturer
for recycling or proper disposal.
2. The disposable electrodes can only be used for one time.
