Maintenance; Cleaning - Noraxon TeleMyo 2400T V2 User Manual

Noraxon U.S.A., Inc.

Maintenance

It is recommended that, weekly, the 2400T transmitter be left 'on' until its batteries are completely
discharged. Doing so eliminates the onset of battery "memory". The term "memory" describes the effect
whereby, a battery remembers its usual discharge point. For example, if the transmitter batteries are used
to 40% capacity every time before recharging, eventually the batteries will not run below that 40% mark.
The effect of battery "memory" will be noticed by a significant decrease in the amount of time the
transmitter will operate in-between chargings. If this is observed, the transmitter should be charged and
fully discharged several times to clear the unwanted memory effect.
With normal use, the transmitter battery pack will operate properly through at least 300 charge/discharge
cycles. Plug-in replacement battery packs are available from Noraxon. Detailed instructions are provided
with the replacement battery pack. Alternately, the transmitter can be sent to Noraxon for servicing.
Only use replacement battery packs available from Noraxon. Use of
unauthorized battery packs may create a safety hazard.
The transmitter battery packs are not user replaceable. Only qualified
technical personnel may perform the maintenance.
Care should be exercised not to place or stack objects (especially liquids) on top of the TeleMyo 2400T
case.

Cleaning

The instrument case and cables can be wiped down with a damp cloth using a mild soap or detergent and
water. Isopropyl alcohol can be safely used to remove tape or other adhesive residues from the cables.
Before cleaning any portion of the system, the instrument should be unplugged from the wall power outlet.
Cleaning, Disinfecting & Sterilization of Electrode Cables
The electrodes, whether disposable or reusable, surface, fine wire or needle, make the only intimate contact
with the patient or subject. However, the electrode cables can and do make physical contact with the
individual. For sanitary purposes, it is advisable to clean the cables on a regular basis. Electrode cables
can be cleaned with a solution of mild soap or detergent and water. Isopropyl alcohol can be used to
remove adhesive residue from electrodes or tape.
The electrode cables are not constructed to withstand repeated application of any disinfectant solution.
Likewise the cables are not warranted against exposure to any of the conventional forms of sterilization.
Users wishing to utilize this equipment in a sterile environment, such as an operating theater, should
consult Noraxon for other options. In certain cases, cable extenders can be provided to accommodate the
attachment of sterile terminal leads to the patient.
Sterilizing Electrodes
Noraxon provides high quality disposable surface electrodes for single use applications. Different types of
electrodes: fine wire, needle, vaginal, rectal, or esophageal probes are available from other reputable
manufacturers. Consult the product documentation for each specific manufacturer on the advisability and
proper means to sterilize reusable electrodes.
