4. MAINTENANCE AND SAFTETY
A service inspection including the measuring of all parameters of the device and relevant recalibration
must be performed at intervals shorter than 30 months. The inspection and recalibration must be
performed by a service department authorized by Refine, USA®. If the inspection is not done at 30-
month intervals, the manufacturer does not guarantee the technical parameters or safe operation of the
product.
To keep the device clean, do not store or use it in extremely dusty environments. Do not immerse it in
liquid. Before each use, check that the device and its accessories (especially cables) are not mechanically
or otherwise damaged. Do not use the device if it is damaged.
Exterior cleaning of the device:
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or with a 2% detergent solution to clean the exterior of
the Apex Therapy System and its parts. Never use cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia,
benzene, thinners, etc. Never use abrasive cleaning materials which will scratch the device's surfaces.
No parts of the device require sterilization. Care should be given to prevent water or other liquids from
getting inside the device.
Cleaning and maintenance of accessories which come into contact with the patient:
Clean and disinfect after each client, using approved cleaning agents. For example, Sekusept, Bacilol, or
Incidur Spray can be used. For the cables and accessories, use Incidur Spray. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS.
The exterior surface of the shock transmitter can be washed with warm water with its cap on. However,
to completely remove all of the contact oil from the shock transmitter, it will be necessary to unscrew
the shock transmitter and clean it.
Sklar soak or comparable cold sterilization solutions are recommended for sterilizing applicator heads.
