MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE DEVICE
Cleaning Contact Surfaces
•
Switch off the device and disconnect it
from the power supply.
•
The device can be cleaned with a
damp cloth.
•
Use lukewarm water and a non-abrasive
liquid household cleaner (non-abrasive,
non-alcohol content solution).
•
If a more sterile cleaning is needed, use
a cloth moistened with an
antimicrobial cleaner.
CAUTION
•
DO NOT
submerse the device in liquids.
Should the unit accidentally become
submersed, contact the dealer or
authorized service center immediately.
•
DO NOT
attempt to use a system that
has been wet inside until inspected and
tested by a certifi ed service technician.
•
DO NOT
allow liquids to enter the
ventilation holes.
Cleaning Display Panel
Use a soft and dry cotton or micro fi ber
cloth to clean the panel. To remove
fi ngerprints or grease, use a non-abrasive
glass cleaning agent. Apply a small amount
of the cleaning agent to a soft cotton cloth
and carefully clean the panel.
CAUTION
•
DO NOT
spray the cleaning agent
directly on the glass panel.
•
DO NOT
use cleaning agents that
contain strong alkali, lye, acid,
detergents with fl uoride or detergents
with ammonia.
Cleaning Lead Wires and Cables
Periodically wipe the lead wires clean with
a cloth dampened in a mild soap solution,
and then gently wipe them dry. Use of
rubbing alcohol on the lead wires will
damage the insulation and dramatically
shorten their life.
CLEANING ULTRASOUND APPLICATOR
To prevent corrosion, clean and dry the
contact surface immediately after use.
Make sure that no ultrasound gel remains
on the applicator. We further recommend
cleaning the applicator and cable daily,
using lukewarm water. The applicator can
be disinfected using a cloth moistened
with a 70% alcohol solution. Check the
applicator and cable regularly for damage.
CARE AND STORAGE OF ELECTRODES
•
The life of the electrodes varies
depending on skin conditions,
storage temperature,the amount of use,
type of stimulation and stimulation site.
•
If electrodes begin losing adhesion,
gently rub one or two drops of water
onto the gel surface and allow them
to quickly air-dry. Oversaturation
with water will reduce the adhesive
properties.
•
Then place them back on the protective
liner and in the orginal resealable bag
sealing tightly to prevent air from drying
out the electrodes.
•
Between uses, store in a cool dry place.
CAUTION
•
The electrodes are intended for single
patient use only.
•
If irritation occurs, discontinue use and
consult your clinician.
•
Always use electrodes labeled with a CE
mark, or are legally marketed in the US
under an FDA 510(k).
