Care and Cleaning

Chapter 9 - Maintenance and Performance Assurance
The following should be routinely performed (approximately every 12
months) by the user or qualified service personnel:
• Mechanical inspection of cables, and connectors to the fetal monitor.
Do not use any that show signs of damage.
• Check and clean the transmitter and receiver housings.
For more details on maintenance and performance assurance, refer to the
Series 50 T Service Manual.
Keep the outside surfaces of the transmitter and receiver clean and free of
dust and dirt. Use soap and water or ETHANOL 70%.
Caution
Although the transmitter and receiver are chemically-resistant to
most common hospital cleaners and non-caustic detergents,
different cleaners are not recommended and may stain the
transmitter and receiver.
Many cleaners must be diluted before use. Follow the
manufacturer's directions carefully to avoid damaging the
transmitter and receiver. Never use an abrasive material such as steel
wool or metal polish.
Do not allow any liquid to enter the transmitter and receiver cases
and avoid pouring liquid on the receiver while cleaning. Do not
immerse the transmitter.
