CLEANING
Caution: Do not immerse the N-3100 or its accessories in liquid or use
caustic or abrasive cleaners. Do not spray or pour any liquid on the
monitor or its accessories.
To clean the N-3100, dampen a cloth with a commercial, nonabrasive cleaner
and wipe the instrument exterior surfaces lightly. Do not allow any liquids to
come in contact with the power connector, fuse holder, or switches. Do not
allow any liquids to penetrate connectors or openings in the instrument cover.
For cuffs and hoses, follow individual directions for use.
2.2
PERIODIC SAFETY AND FUNCTIONAL CHECKS
The following safety checks should be performed by a qualified service
technician after any repair or opening of the case, upon return of the
instrument from any use outside your institution’s control, or at least every 2
years.
1.
Inspect the exterior of the N -3100 and verify that there is no evidence of
damage. Refer to Section 5, Troubleshooting for repair. If the N-3100
cannot be repaired, contact Nellcor Puritan Bennett’s Technical Services
Department or your local Nellcor Puritan Bennett representative.
2.
Inspect safety labels for legibility. If labels are not legible, contact
Nellcor Puritan Bennett’s Technical Services Department or your local
Nellcor Puritan Bennett representative.
3.
Verify that the monitor performs properly as described in paragraph 3.3.
4.
Perform the electrical safety tests detailed in paragraph 3.4. If the unit
fails these electrical safety tests, do not attempt to repair, contact Nellcor
Puritan Bennett’s Technical Services Department or your local Nellcor
Puritan Bennett representative.
5.
Inspect fuse(s) for proper rating (AC inlet fuse: 0.8 Amp, 250 Volt). If
necessary, replace as described in paragraph 6.2.
2.3
BATTERIES
Nellcor Puritan Bennett recommends replacing all instrument batteries at
least every 2 years. To replace the batteries, refer to Section 6, Disassembly
Guide .
If the N-3100 has been stored for more than 30 days and has not been
connected to an SPS power supply, charge the battery before use. A fully
discharged battery requires a 14-hour charge for a full charge. A 6-hour
charge is required for 1 hour of operating time. Connect the N-3100 to an SPS
external power supply during storage to ensure that the battery remains fully
charged and the N -3100 is ready for immediate use.
