Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Maintenance
Service must be performed at the factory or by an authorized service representative only. The
Merlin™ PCS and its accessories contain no user-serviceable parts.
NOTE: For information on the Merlin™ PSA maintenance and troubleshooting, see the
Merlin PSA on-screen help.
CAUTION: Keep liquid out of the system's interior. Never spray liquid directly onto
the Merlin PCS or its accessories.

WARNING: Do not modify the Merlin PCS without the authorization of the
manufacturer.
To clean the exterior case of the Merlin PCS, the Merlin™ Antenna, and the ECG cables, wipe the
case with a damp cloth moistened with a mild soap.
To clean the touch-screen display, spray a small amount of diluted glass cleaner on a soft cloth
and gently wipe the screen. Dilute the glass cleaner by adding an equal amount of water.
Programmer Self Test/Preventive Maintenance
When you turn on the Merlin™ PCS, the device performs a self-test of the internal hardware and
software. If the test fails, the programmer displays a message explaining the cause of the failure.
Should the self-test fail, turn off the programmer, wait 30 seconds, and then restart the
programmer. If the self-test fails again, contact Technical Support (page 1).
The programmer and its electronic accessories have been designed with digital circuitry and does
not require calibration.
Telemetry Wand Sterilization
To sterilize the telemetry wand and/or cables, place the item in a gas-permeable package and
sterilize it in ethylene oxide. Do not exceed 50°C (122°F). After sterilization, allow sufficient time
for complete aeration of ethylene oxide prior to use. This process may be shortened by forced
ventilation. Use biological controls to verify the effectiveness of sterilization.
CAUTION: Do not autoclave, radiation sterilize, or clean ultrasonically or with
chemical solutions.
Do not attempt to sterilize the Merlin™ PSA, the PSA Wand, the
Merlin™ Antenna, or the Merlin™ PCS itself.
NOTE: You can place the PSA Wand, the Merlin Antenna, or the inductive telemetry
wand inside a sterile glove or bag.
