The appearance of moisture on the screen may occur with abrupt temperature or humidity changes. A
stable environment is recommended.
Scratching and damaging the screen should be avoided.
Operate the touch screen with the special stylus pen or finger. Sharp edged or hard items like ball
point pens are not recommended.
Keep the touch screen surface clean. No adhesives should come in contact with the screen.
Avoid high voltage and static charges.
9.1.3 Maintenance of the Transducers
Keep the transducers in a dry environment, where the temperature should be lower than 45°C (113 ºF).
Gel must be wiped from the US transducer after use. These precautions will prolong the life of the transducer.
Although transducers are designed for durability, they should be handled with care. Rough handling
could damage the cover, piezoelectric crystals and mechanical movement. Contacting the transducers
with hard or sharp objects should be avoided. Do not excessively flex the cables.
9.1.4 Storage of Recorder papers
When storing recorder paper (including the printed paper with traces):
Do not store in plastic envelopes.
Do not leave exposed to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light.
Do not exceed a storage temperature of 40 ºC (104 ºF).
Do not exceed a relative humidity of 80%.
Storage conditions outside these limits may distort the paper and adversely affect the accuracy of the
grid lines or make the trace unreadable.
9.1.5 Cleaning of the Recorder
The recorder plate, thermal print head and paper sensing mechanism must be cleaned at least once a
year or when needed (when traces become faint).
To do this:
1) Clean the recorder plate with a lint-free cloth dampened with a soap and water solution.
2) Wipe the thermal array using a cotton swab moistened with a 70% Isopropyl alcohol-based solution.
3) Check that the paper sensing mechanism is free of dust.
WARNING : Only use the recorder paper provided by CooperSurgical, or it may
damage the recorder. This kind of damage is not covered by warranty.
