Maintenance

Besides cleaning the device and performing the electrical safety checks according to
Regulation BGV A3*, other maintenance measures that must be carried out are a regular
safety check and regular battery replacement.
These two operations may only be carried out by qualified service personnel or employ-
ees of Barkey GmbH & Co. KG. Training for medical technicians in checking and repair-
ing the Barkey plasmatherm is available at the factory of Barkey GmbH & Co. KG.
Please call us on +49 (5202) 9801-30 for information about current availability and costs.
At the end of these instructions you will find a blank form for a device master data sheet.
This can be used as the front page for a service history in which all maintenance work
should be recorded.

Technical safety inspection (TSI)

As with all electronic devices, the Barkey plasmatherm's temperature setting is dependent
on normal ageing and on the tolerances of the electronic components.
To ensure that the temperature settings on the Barkey plasmatherm are always within the
stated tolerances, a technical safety inspection (TSI) must be carried out each year by
qualified service personnel or by employees of Barkey GmbH & Co. KG (see Section 6
MPBetreibV*).
The technical safety inspection should include the mandatory annual electrical safety
check on the Barkey plasmatherm.
The Barkey plasmatherm always runs a self-check when it is switched on, so a technical
safety inspection essentially covers the measuring functions of the device. Safety inspec-
tions also include checking the ventilation grilles at the air intake and outlet and cleaning
them as necessary.
All the work necessary for servicing and the TSI is described in a separate service man-
ual which can be requested from Barkey GmbH & Co. KG.
