 Switch the device off before cleaning and disconnect it from the mains by
removing the plug.
 Do not, under any circumstances, immerse the apparatus into a cleaning liquid or
sterilize with hot water, steam, or air.
 Do not autoclave the unit or any accessories.
 Use of cleaning solutions which have a high acid content or are otherwise
inappropriate can cause damage to the equipment, including cracking and
deterioration of the plastic case.
 Always follow the mixing/diluting instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
cleaning solution.
 Never use any of the following solutions or similar products to clean the
equipment: ethyl alcohol, ethanol, acetone, hexane, abrasive or scouring powder
or material, any cleaning material that damages plastic.
 Unit connectors, and battery and electrode cable contacts, must not come in
contact with soap or water. Do not immerse in liquid when cleaning. Do not spray
the unit directly. Only clean the device and cable with a damp cloth slightly

 The patient cable and other cable assemblies must not be exposed to excessive
mechanical stress. Whenever disconnecting the leads, hold the plugs and not the
cables. Store the leads in such a way as to prevent anyone stumbling over them
or any damage being caused by the wheels of instrument trolleys.
 The wearing of protective gloves (e. g. of butyl rubber) is recommended.
14.1 Before Cleaning
Before cleaning any cable assemblies, the unit or any accessories, thoroughly inspect
them for signs of damage as follows:
• Look for any signs of damage and any improper mechanical function of buttons or
connectors.
• Gently bend and flex all parts of the patient cable. Inspect for splits in the sheath-
ing, damage or extreme wear, exposed wires, or bent connectors.
• Confirm that all connectors engage securely.
