Cleaning and Disinfecting the Acquisition Module
Proper cleaning and disinfecting prolongs the life of acquisition devices. Failure to
use the proper cleaning solutions or to follow proper procedures can result in the
following:
• Appearance of waveforms when not connected to a patient, resulting in false
alarms instead of lead failure alarms
• Brittle and cracked device case
• Melting, dulling, or distortion of the case
• Total device failure, requiring replacement
• Unit malfunction
• Voided warranty
Soiled devices must be separated from non-contaminated devices to avoid
contamination of personnel or surroundings.
Pre-Cleaning Inspection and Functional Testing
Inspect the Acquisition Module each time you clean it or if you suspect a problem.
• Check the pins that the leadwires plug into. They should not be bent or loose.
Contact GE Healthcare Customer Support for any repairs needed.
• Check the Acquisition Module plastic case for any damage. Contact GE Healthcare
Customer Support for any repairs needed.
