WARNING: Prevent liquid from penetrating the device and do not attempt to clean/disinfect the device or
patient cables by submerging into a liquid, autoclaving, or steam cleaning. Never expose cables to strong

Periodic Maintenance
Check the X12+ and the ECG cable before each use to ensure they are not damaged or broken.
1.
Patient Cable Maintenance:
•
Check patient cables for cracks or breakage prior to use
•
Clean the cable with a germicidal solution that does not contain alcohol
•
Alcohol will cause hardening and can introduce cracks
•
Don’t use tape on the patient cable; tape residue will cause hardening and can introduce cracks
•
Patient cables should be stored by looping them loosely. Don’t pull or stretch the cables; don’t
wrap cables tightly
•
Replace patient cables periodically (depending on use and care)
2.
Exterior Visual Inspection:
•
Check connectors for loose, bent, or corroded contact points
•
Inspect covers for warping, surface damage, or missing hardware
•
Check for any other form of damage
Disposal of Waste Materials
The X12+ needs one alkaline battery and disposable monitoring electrodes. Disposal must be in accordance with
the following procedures:
