Appendix F: Storage and Handling Conditions

Storing the Instrument

Before storing the Nanoduct do the following:
Wipe down the induction/analysis module surfaces and accessories using a soft
cloth dampened with mild detergent or 10% household bleach solution.
Electrodes must be cleaned as follows:
1. Remove any remaining gel from electrodes.
2. Use a cotton ball or swab moistened with purified water to clean each
electrode thoroughly.
3. If the electrode appears dirty after an extended idle period, or does not
clean with steps 1 and 2, use a small round piece of light duty cleaning pad
(such as 3M Scotch-Brite™ #7445) to buff the electrode surface.
CAUTION
Never use harsh abrasives such as steel wool, sandpaper, or emery cloth to
clean electrodes. Never scrape electrodes with metal tools. If the electrode
surface is scratched or pitted it does not perform as specified and must be
replaced.
Refer to Section 4.2 for instructions for cleaning Nanoduct straps, holders and
attachment strap retainers or any other parts that come into contact with a
patient:
If storing for an extended period of time, remove the batteries and place the
instrument in a plastic bag or other type of container to keep dust or other
particles from collecting on the instrument.
Store the instrument in a location within the storage temperature range of 0 to 60
°C and less than 85% non-condensing humidity.
