Storing Thermal Paper
When imaged and stored properly, ECG tracings resist fading for several years. If your
retention requirements exceed five years, consider using GE Healthcare Archivist
paper.
To ensure the tracing is imaged properly, the device must be maintained in
accordance with its service manuals and technical memoranda.
To ensure the tracing lasts for the paper's expected lifespan, observe the following
guidelines when storing your printouts:
• Store in a cool, dark, and dry location.
• Standard paper
Temperature must be less than 27°C (80°F).
Relative humidity must be less than 65%.
• Archivist paper
Temperature must be less than 40°C (104°F).
Relative humidity must be between 40% and 60%.
• Avoid exposure to bright light or UV sources.
Sources of ultraviolet light include sunlight, fluorescent lights, halogen lights,
mercury vapor lamps, and germicidal lamps.
• Avoid contact with cleaning liquids and solvents.
Solvents to avoid include alcohols, ketones, esters, ether, and so forth.
• Store thermal paper separately in manila folders or polyester or polyimide
protectors.
Plastic document protectors, envelopes, or sheet separators made of polystyrene,
polypropylene, or polyethylene do not degrade thermal traces. However, these
materials afford no protection against fading from external causes.
• Do NOT store thermal papers with any of the following:
• carbon or carbonless forms
• document protectors, envelopes, and sheet separators containing polyvinyl
chloride or other vinyl chlorides.
• non-thermal chart papers or any other products containing tributyl phosphate,
dibutyl phthalate, or any other organic solvents
NOTE:
Many medical and industrial charts contain these chemicals.
• Do NOT use mounting forms, pressure-sensitive tapes, and labels that use
solvent-based adhesives.
Use only mounting forms and pressure-sensitive tapes made with starch or
water-based adhesives.
