J. Maintenance of your ProPex

The device does not contain user serviceable parts. The service and repair should
be provided by factory trained service personnel only.
 After each use, all the objects that were in contact with infectious agents should
be cleaned using towels impregnated with a disinfecting and detergent solution (a
bactericidal, fungicidal and aldehyde free solution). Use of chemical agents may
cause damage to the equipment. We recommend to use only a disinfecting
solution which is approved for its efficacy (VAH/DGHM-listing, CE marking, FDA
approval).

Other recommendations:
-
Do not expose ProPex
solutions used for treatment. These chemicals could cause damage, deform or
discolor the device. Be especially careful to avoid spilling formalin cresol (FC)
and sodium hypochlorite as they are quite aggressive. Wipe up any chemical
spills immediately (some chemicals may leave discoloration and spots even if
they are immediately wiped up).
-
Handle the device carefully; do not drop, bump or expose the unit to any kind of
impact or shock. Rough handling could cause significant damage.
-
Do not drop anything on or bang the measuring cable plug after it has been
inserted into the connector.
