SHOCK HAZARD — Disconnect the device from the
power line before cleaning or disinfecting its surface.
Wipe the monitor clean with a moist cloth. Do not let liquid enter the
monitor. All cleaning agents and disinfectants that contain alcohol and
are commonly used in hospitals are suitable, but do not use disinfectants
with a phenol base or peroxide compounds.
„
Disconnect the cable from the recorder before cleaning or disinfecting
it. When disconnecting the cable, be sure to pull on the connector, not
on the cable.
„
Clean the cable by rubbing it down with a cloth moistened with soap
water. Use a disinfectant for disinfection. Do not immerse the cable
in liquid.
In addition to the information given in this manual, observe the
instructions for use of the respective electrode types.
„
Discard disposable adhesive electrodes immediately after use to
prevent that they are reused.
„
Clean reusable electrodes immediately after removing them from the
patient.
Peel off the adhesive foil before cleaning the electrodes (rests of
the adhesive can be removed with benzine).
Then use warm water and a small brush to clean the electrodes
of cream or gel. Do not use pointed or sharp objects for cleaning.
Disinfect the electrodes with alcohol-free disinfectant. Ensure
that connectors and sockets do not become wet.
„
The only approved sterilization method is gas sterilization.
Frequently sterilizing the electrodes with ethylene oxide gas reduces the
life of the plastic material.
