Preventive maintenance
Instramed recommends that the Apolus be examined by a qualified technician every
12 months. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer for more information
about qualified and trained personnel to perform preventive maintenance.
It is recommended that periodic inspections be performed on the equipment’s power
supply charger, cables and connectors in order to determine possible isolation or
internal conductor ruptures.
It is recommended that functional tests be performed at the beginning of every work
shift.
Corrective maintenance
If the equipment needs repair, this can only be done by Instramed or its authorized
representa-tive, otherwise this Warranty certificate may no longer be valid.
No internal parts are to be fixed by the user.
Cleaning and disinfection
Instramed recommends cleaning and disinfecting the equipment and its accessories
every three months, or shorter periods whenever excessive dirt or contamination is
noticed.
Equipment
• Remove the equipment from the electric current before cleaning it.
• Wipe the external part of the equipment with a cloth dampened with water and
neutral soap or isopropyl alcohol.
Accessories
• Use a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
• Rub the surface to be cleaned for about 10 minutes.
Sterilization
Instramed recommends that the set of internal pads and their adult electrodes be
sterilized using the “cold sterilization” method, making the right use of chemical ETO
(ethylene oxide) ensuring quality control of sterilization process and handling by
