Chapter 5: Routine Maintenance Procedures
This chapter includes procedures for routine maintenance of the PAL Device. These procedures may be
performed after any of the following events and/or as prescribed by the institution's maintenance
schedule:
•
Initial receipt of the PAL Device at the institution.
•
PAL Device has been visually damaged or subjected to mechanical shock (i.e., dropped).
•
PAL Device has been submitted for maintenance or scheduled performance verification.
NOTE:
Please follow your institution's protocol for infection control when cleaning the device.
5.1 Maintenance
The PAL Device does not require any maintenance beyond cleaning after each use and visually inspecting
the unit and connected accessories for any wear or damage. If any wear or damage is noted, do not use.
Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts.
5.2 Cleaning Procedure:
It is recommended that the PAL Device be cleaned with alcohol wipes or a cleaning agent that is
compatible with plastic (see list below). Unplug the unit from the wall prior to cleaning. Do not pour or
spray any cleaners directly on the PAL Device components. Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth containing
the cleaning agent. We also suggest that you wipe all surfaces with a sterile cloth with a little sterile water
and allow to air dry completely after each use of the cleaning agent. This is so that the cleaning agent does
not pool in crevices and on the plastic.
Acceptable cleaning agents:
•
Water (Do not immerse)
•
Mild dish soap
CAUTION:
Unapproved cleaning products should not be used. These cleaning agents may cause
damage to PAL Device and the PAL Sensors.
