Prevent any liquid from seeping into the equipment; otherwise the safety and the
performance of the electrocardiograph and sampling box cannot be guaranteed.
ECG cable
Integrity of the ECG cable, including the main cable and lead wires, should be
checked regularly. Make sure that it is conductible.
Do not drag or twist the ECG cable with excessive stress. Hold the plug instead
of the cable when connecting or disconnecting the patient cable.
Align the ECG cable to avoid twisting, knotting or crooking in a closed angle.
Store the lead wires appropriately to prevent any people from stumbling.
Once damage or aging of the ECG cable is found, replace it with a new one
immediately.
Reusable electrodes
Electrodes must be cleaned after use and make sure there is no gel left on them.
Keep suction bulbs of chest electrodes away from sunshine and excessive
temperature.
After long-term use, the surfaces of electrodes will be oxidized because of
erosion and other causes. By this time, electrodes should be replaced to achieve
high data quality.
While usage will have an impact, it is expected that the electrocardiograph will be in
service for 10 years. Replace the ECG cable and reusable electrodes according to your
actual use. It is recommended that you replace them once every year.
The device and accessories are to be disposed of according to local regulations at the
end of their service lives. Alternatively, they can be returned to the dealer or the
manufacturer for recycling or proper disposal.
