Reboot the Device
To completely shut down the device, disconnect the AC power cord then press and hold the On/Off button for
approximately 15-seconds. Such a shutdown should only be performed when other attempts for correction have
failed. This will reset the internal clock to the default time and date.
CAUTION:
During normal use, the ELI 380 should not be operated in this manner.
Test Operation
After cleaning and inspecting the device, proper operation of the unit may be confirmed by using an ECG simulator
to acquire and print a standard 12-lead ECG of known amplitude. Printing should be dark and even across the page.
There should be no evidence of print head dot failure (e.g., breaks in printing forming horizontal streaks). Paper
motion should be smooth and consistent during printing. Waveforms should appear normal with proper amplitude
and, without distortion or excessive noise. Paper should stop with perforations near the tear bar (indicating proper
cue sensor operation).
Recommendations to Biomedical Staff
Following any service to the device 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).

part (e.g., USB), mains and protective earth)
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 the 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.
6.
Clean cue sensor photo detector.
