MAINTENANCE & SAFETY
INSPECTIONS
In addition to the user performing routine inspections before and after every use, periodic inspections should
be performed to ensure safe and effective operation. It is recommended that an operator familiar with the
instrument perform a full visual inspection of all components at least every three months. The inspector
should check the system for the following:
• External damage to the equipment
• Damage to the power supply or adapter
• Damage to the connectors or cable insulation
