Caring for the Myolab II
The Myolab II is a sensitive medical instrument:
• Always store the preamplifiers in their static protection bag
when not in use.
• Always store the Myolab II in its case when not in use.
• Always pick up the preamplifiers by touching the center
(ground) electrode first.
• You can clean the preamplifiers by moistening a clean gauze
pad with alcohol. Do not use soaps or other solutions as these
will tend to leave a film on the electrodes and hinder their
performance.
Do not immerse the preamplifier in water!
• Clean the Myolab II unit using a damp cloth. Do not allow
moisture or contaminants to enter into the case.
