Cleaning and maintenance
Warning: Because the Model 2380 is capable of detecting RF arcing
(which may be due to moisture or other contaminants in the sealing
region), the Sealer performance will be reduced if the sealing region
becomes contaminated or wet with fluids. (Note that arcing at the sealing
head may cause a battery low condition to be indicated, even when the
battery is not low.) To obtain satisfactory seals at all times, be sure the
sealing region and all adjacent areas are always kept clean and dry.
Note: It is recommended that topical cleaning of the sealing head (see the
Operation Manual for the Sealing Head) be performed when blood or moisture
contaminate the immediate vicinity of only the sealing region, i.e., the area
where seals are produced between the ceramic RF jaw and the ground jaw.
General cleaning of the sealing head (see the Operation Manual for the Sealing
Head) should be performed periodically or when blood or moisture
contaminates the area outside the immediate vicinity of the sealing region.
Cleaning the
power source
case
1. Ensure that the power switch located on the power interface panel on the
RF power source is in the off position. Disconnect the RF power cable
from the power source.
2. Apply a cleaning solution made from a mild detergent or household
cleaner such as Formula 409
®
(NO BLEACH) and water to a soft cloth.
Wipe the power source case with the damp cloth until clean. Make sure
the power source is completely dry before putting back into service.
Warning: Do not apply fluids directly to the power source case and do not
over saturate the cleaning solution applicator. The fluids may run into the
electronic components and cause contamination of the electronics and
subsequent unit malfunction. Never immerse the power source in any
liquid.
