Section 5 — Preventative Maintenance
Incoming Inspection
You should inspect all new monitors upon arrival for shipping damage
before you place them into operation. The monitor should be free
from dents, cracks, or other physical damage. The quality inspection
seal of the monitor should be unbroken; this indicates that the
monitor has been tested according to the manufacturer’s
specifications.
If further incoming inspection or testing is desired, the manufacturer
recommends you use “Speaker Performance, Alarms Verification” in
this section as an incoming inspection test. You may perform
additional electrical safety testing with “Electrical Safety Tests” in this
section as part of an incoming inspection in accordance with the
policies of the health care provider.

unrecoverable state after 3 months without periodic charging.
