Visual Inspection

Inspect the acquisition module each time you clean it or if you suspect a problem.
• Check the leadwires and leadwire adapters for wear and loose connections.
Replace these parts at the first sign of wear.
• Check the pins that the leadwires plug into. They should not be bent or loose.
Contact GE Healthcare Customer Support for any repairs needed.

Customer Support for any repairs needed.

Cleaning

The exterior and leadwires of the acquisition module should be cleaned daily.

Cleaning and Disinfecting Acquisition Modules

Proper cleaning and disinfecting prolongs the life of acquisition devices. Failure to use
the proper cleaning solutions or to follow proper procedures can result in the following:
• Appearance of waveforms when not connected to a patient, resulting in false
alarms instead of lead failure alarms
• Brittle and cracked device case
• Melting, dulling, or distortion of the case
• Total device failure, requiring replacement
• Unit malfunction
• Voided warranty
Use the following procedure to clean and disinfect the cables and leadwires.
1. Remove cables, leadwires, and batteries from the device before cleaning.
Make sure to firmly close the battery door after removing the batteries.
2. To clean, wipe with a lightly moistened cloth.
Use a mild soap and water solution to moisten the cloth.
Do NOT use any of the following cleaning products, or products that contain the
same active ingredients and solutions, which are known to cause the problems
previously listed:
• Sani-Cloth® Wipes
• Ascepti® Wipes
