4. MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY INSPECTION
CLEANING
• As needed, wipe down the frame with a solution of warm water and mild detergent.
• Hand-wash patient support vest in a sanitizing detergent. Air dry.
INSPECTION
(Refer to Figures 16 - 19.)
Although the Biodex Offset Unweighing System is designed for trouble-free operation, simple
daily and monthly inspections should be made of the rope to assure patient safety. A more com-
prehensive inspection should be performed every six months to the pulley assembly to ensure
proper operation and safe applications.
Daily
Inspect the Harness Rope and Safety Tether. Lower the harness rope using Handle #1 until the
rope is at its maximum length of approximately 50 inches (150cm). The Harness Rope should
lower smoothly to its full length. Inspect both rope and safety tether for any signs of wear,
which may include: fraying, cuts or kinks. Firmly tug on the rope to assure it is secure.
NOTE: If Harness Rope or Safety Tether show any signs of wear, immediately contact Biodex Customer
Service at 1-800-224-6339 or 631-924-9000 (in New York State).
Inspect Harness Spreader Bar and clips for signs of wear. Make sure to release clips and lock them
into place to ensure they are functioning properly.
Inspect the four casters for
uneven wear. Ensure they are
attached firmly to the
Unweighing System. Check
that the wheels lock and
unlock properly.
Monthly
Crank the crossbar all the way
down while inspecting the
entire length of the rope
through the Rope Inspection
Window.
