14. Maintenance, Cleaning, & Disposal
To keep the Trex HD Monitoring amplifier in good working condition, follow a regular schedule of
maintenance. Regular maintenance performed by the user does not involve access to the interior of the
Trex HD Monitoring amplifier and components. For servicing problems that require corrective
maintenance and/or internal component service, call Technical Support at

, or contact
your local
Natus

Periodically check cable connections and electrodes for damage and wear. Inspect cables for bent pins.
Replace frayed or worn cables. Also, regularly inspect and clean all system components, including:
•
Connectors and jack ports
•
Amplifier and USB 2.0 cable
•
Electrodes and accessories
The Trex HD Monitoring amplifier and its components should not be immersed in water or any other fluid.
To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe all surfaces.
The Trex HD Monitoring amplifier is designed to be extremely portable. As such, the Trex HD Monitoring
is subject to increased daily wear and tear. Taking basic care of the system and avoiding extreme
physical abuse helps prolong the lifespan of the Trex HD Monitoring.
14.1. Recommendations
Disconnect all cables from the Trex HD before wiping. Wipe using a soft, damp cloth using
non-conductive distilled water, electrically non-conductive inert surfactants or a Natus -
approved cold sterilizing agent. Do not use any abrasive cleaner on the system.
It is important to dry off the unit quickly. Be careful not to allow any fluid to seep into the
internal electronic components of the system.
Do NOT leave the amplifier attached to the computer when transporting the unit.
Do NOT autoclave, pressure sterilize, or gas sterilize this amplifier.
Do NOT soak or immerse the amplifier in any liquid.
Use cleaning solution sparingly. Excessive solution can flow into the amplifier and cause
damage to internal components.
Do NOT use petroleum-based or acetone solutions, or other harsh solvents, to clean the
amplifier.
