4. Service and Maintaining the device
4.1. Charging the battery
The MiniScreen Pro unit is equipped with a special
fast-charge Li-Ion battery. The battery charging
adaptor included with your device is specially
designed for this type of battery and should only be
used with your MiniScreen Pro. It is recommended to
charge
the battery completely after each
measurement.
Caution: It is not allowed to use a different
battery charger than the one provided!
Battery charging procedure :
•
Connect the battery charger adaptor to the
MiniScreen Pro
•
Plug the charger into a power outlet
•
The charger LED will illuminate white. As soon
as the battery is charged, the LED will illuminate
blue. The device can remain connected to the
charging adaptor for a long period of time
without suffering any damage.
4.2. Cleaning instructions
The flow prong is designed for single patient use and
should not be used more than once or on different
patients.
The finger sensor, thermistor, leg movement sensor,
the microphone and the electrodes can be cleaned
using a moist cloth or if necessary by using
disinfectant. You should never however immerse the
sensors in liquid. Any adhesive residues that may be
present should be removed regularly (e.g. using
alcohol swabs). The RLS sensor wire is very fragile.
Special care is required when cleaning this sensor.
The thorax and abdomen belts can be machine
washed at temperature of 60°C. Please ensure to
remove the pressure pads from the belts before
placing in the washing machine.
The bag can be cleaned using moist disinfectant
wipes (observe the detergent manufacturer’s instruc-
tions).

be carried out by the manufacturer or by an
authorised agent.
Calibration of the CPAP channel should be carried
out once at the first time when the device is used.
