Cleaning and Maintenance
Although ICS Chartr 200 VNG/ENG equipment does not require preventive maintenance, please observe these guidelines:
•
Disposable articles (such as electrodes) should be disposed of according to local regulations.
•
Proper care and maintenance of the video goggles involves disinfecting the goggle parts that make contact with the
patient’s skin and cleaning the goggle components. Cleaning and disinfecting should be done before placing the
goggles on the patient.
Note
•
Follow all of the cleaning procedures in this section to avoid damaging the goggles.
•
Face cushion
Clean before placing the goggles on the next patient.
To clean:
1. Use a pre-moistened non-alcohol based pad (e.g., AudioWipes) or apply the solution to a soft cloth.
2. Wipe the face cushion, and all areas of the goggles that come in contact with the patient, gently with the pad or
cloth until clean. This is done to remove dirt and disinfect the goggles.
3. Dispose of the pad or cloth properly after each use.
•
Dichroic mirror surfaces
Improper cleaning may scratch the mirror surfaces.
To clean:
1. Wipe the surface gently with the cloth provided with the goggles using a rotary motion until the surface is clean.
2. Repeat step
for the other side of the mirror.
•
Video camera lenses
The camera lenses rarely require cleaning since they are protected within the goggle housing. Never dry-wipe an
optical surface as the coating can be easily scratched if improperly cleaned.
