information listed above under Assistance, or visit our web site,

CALIBRATION / SERVICE REQUEST to fill out a Request for Calibration/Service Form. It
is highly recommended that you pack the product in its original shipping carton and
packing materials, provided that they are still usable. If the original packaging is not
available, select a sturdy corrugated carton large enough to hold whatever items you are
returning, and also to allow 4 to 6 inches of packing material on all sides of the items.
Whether you use the original packaging or an appropriate substitute, please follow these
packing instructions:
1. Remove all hoses, cables, power cords and any other accessories from the instrument
and, if possible, place the instrument is a clean plastic bag. Note:if you are using
substitute packaging, it is essential that you seal the instrument in a clean, static free
plastic bag or in clean bubble wrap in order to prevent packing material from entering
the product.
a)2. Pack only the accessories you are requested to return; place them in a separate bag.
b)3. If you are using substitute packaging, create a foundation of 4 to 6inches of packing
material (either bubble wrap or packing “peanuts”) at the bottom of the carton.
c) 4. Insert the instrument and the accessory bag into the shipping carton.
d)5. If you are using substitute packaging, fill the 4 sides and the top of the carton with
4 to 6 inches of packing material (either bubble wrap or packing “peanuts”). Ensure
that the instrument and accessory bag are held firmly in place by the packing
material.
e)6. Please place paperwork such as the purchase order, contact info and reasons for
return in the top of the carton.
f) 7. Close the carton and securely seal it with tape; since in most cases the carton will
have been previously used, it may be necessary to reinforce the original tape on the
bottom of the carton.
g) 8. Ship the product via whatever carrier (UPS, FedEx, etc.) is most convenient.
However, please be aware that, depending on where you are shipping from, standard
UPS shipping could take as long as 7 business days. Unless other arrangements are
made, Clinical Dynamics will return the repaired product to you via UPS.
h) 9. Shipping insurance is optional. Claims for damage to the product during shipping
must be initiated by the shipper.
Additional Instructions for International Shipments
Customers outside the United States must include a “pro-forma invoice” for customs
purposes as part of their shipping documents. It is imperative that the name of the
product appears exactly as follows:
AccuPulse Test Equipment
The use of any other product name could add unnecessary delays when shipping
internationally.
