Maintenance Schedule
Manufacturer
recommendation To make sure the monitor remains in proper operational and functional
order, a good maintenance schedule must be adhered to. The
manufacturer's recommendations in this regard are as follows:
¥ Inspection : Operators should perform this prior to admitting each
patient to the monitor. Service personnel should perform this prior to
servicing the monitor.
¥ General Cleaning : Operators should perform this prior to
admitting each patient to the monitor. Service personnel should
perform this after servicing the monitor.
¥ Checkout Procedures : These should be performed by qualified
service personnel upon receipt of the equipment, every 12 months
thereafter, and each time the monitor is serviced.
¥ Leakage Current Tests : These should be performed by qualified
service personnel upon receipt of the equipment, every 12 months
thereafter, and each time the monitor is serviced.
¥ Hi-Pot Tests : High-potential tests should be performed by qualified
service personnel whenever any component of the isolated data
acquisition system (DAS) is removed, repaired or replaced in the
monitor.
NOTE
The Hi-Pot Tests provide a means of checking the patient
isolation circuitry such that a patient receiving
defibrillation, while attached or admitted to the monitor,
will receive the full energy of each shock and that the
monitor will not absorb the energy, when delivered.
¥ Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NBP) Calibration : NBP
calibration should be performed by qualified service personnel upon
receipt of the equipment and once each year, thereafter. Refer to
Section 5: Calibration, for this information.
