Cleaning and Maintaining the System
5. Air dry or towel dry with a sterile cloth according to the instructions on the disinfectant
label.
6. Because the system is a piece of medical equipment that contains several circuit boards,
extensive service diagnostics, and complex operating software, Philips recommends that
only trained personnel service the system.
System Control Panel Maintenance
The system control panel and other outer surfaces are most likely to be affected by liquid spills
and other materials such as excessive amounts of gel. These materials may seep into electrical
components under the panel and cause intermittent failures. During preventive maintenance,
look for such potential problems including loose knobs and worn controls.
Regularly clean the outside of the system as described in
Equipment" on page
Cleaning the Trackball
Cleaning the trackball regularly prolongs its useful life and prevents service calls.
1. With your fingers, unscrew the ring around the trackball.
2. Lift the trackball out of the mounting area.
3. Clean the trackball and the mounting area with a lint-free cloth or a small brush.
4. Place the ball back on the mounting area.
5. With your fingers, screw the ring back on.
Cleaning the System Air Filter
The system air filters should be inspected every week and cleaned as needed. The air filter is
located in a slot at the bottom left side of the system. If you decide to clean the air filters with
soap and water, you may want to install a spare filter while the other filter is drying. Additional
air filters can be ordered from Philips.
WARNING
Before performing maintenance or cleaning, always turn off the system, and then disconnect
the system from the wall outlet.
