Recommendations to Biomedical Staff
Following any service to the ELI 230 or when non-compliant operation is suspected, Mortara Instrument, Inc.
recommends the following procedures:
•
Confirm proper operation.
•
Perform testing to ensure continued electrical safety of the device
(use IEC 60601-1, ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1, or IEC 62353 methods and limits).
•
patient leakage current
•
chassis leakage current
•
earth leakage current
•
dielectric strength or insulation resistance (mains and patient circuits, mains and signal input/output
part (e.g., USB), mains and protective earth)
Battery Maintenance
The ELI 230 houses an internal, sealed lead-acid battery. When installed, the battery has a shelf life of
approximately six months without recharging. If the battery has been stored for a long period in a discharged state,
it may not be able to regain its capacity even if it is recharged.
For information about replacing the battery, please refer to the ELI 230 service manual.
Mortara Instrument, Inc. recommends that the ELI 230 be plugged into AC power whenever possible to maximize
battery life and for the user to develop a habit of recharging the battery before the unit indicates a “low battery”
condition. (That is, reduced depth of discharge.) Battery life varies by how the battery is maintained and how much
it is used. For improved battery life, keep the electrocardiograph plugged in when not in use.
The sealed lead-acid battery will provide optimum life when the unit is fully charged after each use. The ELI 230
will charge a depleted battery to 85% of its capacity in approximately 6 hours or less
Cleaning the Thermal Printer
To clean the printer
1.
Disconnect the power source.
2.
Clean the exterior surface of the unit with a damp cloth using a solution of mild dishwashing detergent
diluted in water.
3.
After washing, thoroughly dry off the unit with a clean, soft cloth or paper towel.
To clean the print head
NOTE: Do not let soap or water come into contact with the writer, plugs, jacks, or vents.
1.
Open writer door.
2.
Lightly rub print head with an alcohol pad.
3.
Wipe with a clean cloth to remove alcohol residue.
4.
Allow print head to air dry.
5.
Clean the platen by using adhesive tape. Apply the tape and pull it off. Rotate roller and repeat until entire
roller is clean.
