9.1.1 Maintenance Inspections
Visual Inspection
Prior to using the Monitor, perform the following inspections:
•
Check the F9 Monitor and accessories to see if there is any visible evidence of damage that may
affect patient safety. Pay special attention to the seams on the transducers and cables before
immersing them into conductive fluid.
•
Check all the outer cables, power socket and power cables.
•
Check if the F9 Monitor functions properly to make sure it is in good condition.
If any damage is detected, stop using the F9 Monitor on the patient. Replace the damage part(s) or
contact CooperSurgical for service before reusing it.
Routine Inspection
The overall check of the monitor, including safety check and function check, should be performed by
qualified personnel every 6 to 12 months, and each time after service.
The equipment should undergo periodic safety testing to ensure proper patient isolation from live
parts. This should include leakage current measurement and insulation testing. The recommended
testing interval is once a year or as specified in the institution’s test and inspection protocol.
Mechanical Inspection
Make sure all exposed screws are tight.
Check the external cables for splits, cracks or signs of twisting.
Replace any cable that shows serious damage.
Pay particular attention to the supply socket.
WARNING : Failure on the part of the responsible individual hospital or
institution employing the use of this equipment to implement a
satisfactory maintenance schedule may cause undue equipment
failure and possible health hazards.
9.1.2 Maintenance of the Monitor
