ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1.
Clean and/or Disinfect Exterior
Clean the outside surfaces of the system and inside the door after each use.
a.
Turn the pump to STANDBY and unplug the power cord.
b.
Wipe the surface with a cloth moistened with water or isopropyl alcohol.
Note:
Avoid the use of acetone or other solvents that might damage the
surface.
c.
To remove dried blood and disinfect the pump, clean them with hydrogen
peroxide or a mild bleach solution and dry.
d.
Also clean around the door hinges, making sure the door is pushed all the way
down inside the hinges.
e.
Do not spray cleaning liquids into or onto the air vents at the bottom of the
system.
2.
Fluid Out and In-Line Air Detectors
Keep the fluid out and air detectors clean and dry. If they become dirty or wet, clean with
a moistened Q-tip and dry. Air detector surfaces are delicate. Use care when carrying
out this procedure.
3.
Power Cord
Inspect the power cord along its length and connectors for cuts and breaks. Replace
power cord if damaged.
4.
Temperature Probes
Keep the probe sensors clean and dry. If they become dirty or wet, clean with a
moistened Q-tip and dry. Use care not to damage the sensor surface.
5.
Fan Guards
Inspect the fan guards, on the bottom of the unit, for debris that might impede air flow.
Remove guards by unscrewing the 4 retaining screws and clean, with soap and water, if
necessary. Make certain the guards are not damaged. Let the fan guards dry before
reinstalling.
6.
Seals
Inspect the seal around the unit to make certain it is in good condition. Check also the
seal around the touch screen and ceramic disks. Use Dow Corning 732 multipurpose
RTV sealant or equivalent if needed to maintain fluid resistance.
