MAINTENANCE
7.1
Cleaning of
the device
Switch off the device and disconnect it from the power supply. The apparatus
can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Use lukewarm water and a non-abrasive
liquid household cleaner (no abrasive, no alcohol content solution). If a more
sterile cleaning is needed, use a cloth moistened with an antimicrobial cleaner.
Caution
Caution
The self-adhesive electrodes are intended for single patient use only.
If the electrodes do not adhere completely to the patient’s skin, it may
cause a slight shock.
If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your clinician.
Always use the electrodes with CE mark, or are legally marketed in the
United States under an approved 510(K) procedure.
Do not submerse the device in liquids. Should the unit become accidentally
submersed, contact the dealer or Authorized Service center immediately. Do not
attempt to use a system that has been submersed in liquid until inspected and
tested by a Service Technician Certified by an Authorized Service center. Do not
allow liquids to enter the ventilation holes.
7.2
Cleaning the
electrodes
Apply the protective backing to the tacky side of the electrode before storing.
It may be helpful to improve repeated application by spreading a few drops
of cold water over the adhesive on the electrode and turn the surface up to
air dry. Oversaturation of the electrode with water will reduce the adhesive
properties.
The rubber electrodes should be cleaned with lukewarm water. To disinfect
the electrodes or to remove stubborn stains of dirt, use a 70% alcohol
solution. The alcohol solution may discolor the electrode; however, this
does not affect the operation of the electrodes.
The sponge pads should be washed in warm water, using a household
cleaner. After washing they must be rinsed with clear water, thoroughly
drained and then dried. Damaged sponge pads should be replaced.
Between uses, store the electrodes in the reusable bag and in a cool dry
place.
7.3
Cleaning the
lead wires
and cables
Periodically wipe the lead wires clean with a cloth dampened in a mild soap
solution, and then gently wipe them dry. Use of rubbing alcohol on the lead
wires will damage the insulation and dramatically shorten their life.
