Maintaining and Cleaning the
Oscar 2
After use, it is important to perform preventative maintenance to ensure the safe and
efficient operation of the monitor.
Cleaning after use
The
Oscar 2
unit is not sterilizable. DO NOT immerse the monitor in any fluid, or
attempt to clean with any liquid detergents, cleaning agents, or solvents. You may
use a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust from the monitor. If the unit does
become immersed in water, do not use; contact our service department.
You may use a mild disinfectant solution to clean the cuff, strap, belt, and pouch.
Alternatively, you may also wash these items in a washing machine. Remove the
bladder from the
Orbit
cuff before machine washing. Wash these items using warm
water and a mild detergent; if needed, hang to dry.
Maintenance after use
Visually inspect cables, pneumatic hoses, and the monitor case for cracks, fraying, or
kinks. DO NOT use the monitor if there are any signs of damage. Please contact
our service department.
Maintenance
It is recommended that you check the accuracy of the
Oscar 2
once every two
years. If needed, an authorized service center may need to recalibrate the pressure
transducers in the monitor.
