Routine Maintenance
8.1 Audiometer maintenance
The Siemens SD 270 audiometer is a precision instrument. Handle
it carefully in order to ensure its continued accuracy and service.
When cleaning the instrument, first disconnect it from the Mains
supply. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean the instrument
panel when required. Refer to ISO 8253-1 for additional guidance.
8.2 Transducer maintenance
Before use check the transducer cables and connectors for signs
of wear and/or damage. If you find any, please replace the item
immediately by contacting your local Service department
(see Annexx 5),
requesting the relevant part number (see Section 12).
Handle the audiometric headset, bone vibrator headset and other
accessories with care. For parts that are in direct contact with the
patient it is recommended that replacement parts are used or the
parts are subjected to a standard disinfecting procedure between
patients.
This includes physically cleaning and use of a recognised disinfec-
tant. The specific manufacturer's instructions should be followed
for use of this disinfecting agent to provide an appropriated level
of cleanliness.
Important Note:
During the cleaning process do not allow moisture to enter
the earphone, insert masker, monitor or microphone grills
etc. For specific accessories refer to the sections below.
