Receiving Inspection Procedures 7.2.1 Machine Cleaning CONCEALED DAMAGE After unpacking the Medi-Therm III machine, inspect the machine C AUTION for concealed damage. Save all packing material and carefully describe or photograph the damage. Notify the carrier at once and ask for an inspection (in writing). Failure to do this within 15 days Users should not use cleaning or decontamination may result in loss of claim.
An Inspection Form is provided at the end of this section to REUSABLE PROBES facilitate and document the inspection process. Lower case letters For cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilizing reusable Gaymar probes preceding the subheadings within section 7.3 correspond to the (or equivalent YSI 400 series reusable probes), refer to the lines on the Inspection Form.
