6.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance consists of any actions aimed
at keeping the equipment in a good state of repair.
Four types of preventive maintenance are established:
1
Each time the spirometer is turned on, the equipment
will check certain parts and/or functions.
2
A second procedure, which can be performed by the
user, consists of the regular monitoring of the appearance
of the different connections and other external parts of
the equipment. Check that all connections are perfectly
connected, that no cable and/or connector or any other
element is broken or damaged.
In the event of detecting any problem that the user
cannot solve, contact the SDI Diagnostics Repair
Department or your distributor.
3
The user can access the Maintenance Program to
adjust and/or check any parts of the equipment, as
indicated in detail in the corresponding section.
4
A fourth type consists of a general technical check of
the safety systems, adjustments and functions, etc.
forming the equipment.
THIS TECHNICAL CHECK SHOULD BE PERFORMED
EVERY YEAR following the ASTRA 300 Verification and
Adjustment Procedure available from the manufacturer.
This type of operation must be carried out by skilled
technical staff from the hospital’s maintenance
department or from the distributor’s or manufacturer’s
technical service.
