Care and Maintenance
Special care is necessary when servicing, maintaining, and storing the device and
its accessories to maintain the functionality of the device and its accessories.
9.1
Mechanical Component Check
In order to guarantee stability and to maintain the performance capability, it is
necessary to check that all screws in the stand system are tight and otherwise to
tighten them. For this purpose use the wrench that is mounted at the bottom of
the support plate.
Check for
• the central tightening screw underneath the stand base and the screws
around the cone holder,
• the alignment of the components to one another,
• the alignment of the load controller and its tightness,
• the tight positioning of the O-rings found in the load controller, and their lack
of contact to the scale pole.
The locking screw for the display unit has to be tightened in such a way as to allow
for easy movement of the display unit while maintaining the locked position.
9.2
Cleaning the Device
• Use the ON/OFF key to turn the device off.
• Remove the power cable.
• Use a surface disinfectant with a non-alcohol base. The concentration of the
disinfectant depends on the information provided by the manufacturer of the
disinfectant. Wipe the surface of the device with a soft cloth moistened with
the disinfectant. Make sure moisture does not enter the device.
Do not sterilize the device.
9.3
Cleaning the Reusable Tube Set
1. Dismantle the tube set.
2. Wash the parts carefully under running water.
3. Clean and rinse the parts with demineralized water.
4. Let all parts drip off and dry them with a sterilized soft cloth.
9.4
Disinfecting the Reusable Tube Set
1. Only a thoroughly cleaned tube set may be disinfected.
2. Place all tube set components into a disinfectant for a short period. The
concentration and application duration of the disinfectant depends on the
information provided by the manufacturer of the disinfectant. The tube set
can be damaged if the concentration is too high.
Do not leave silicone tubes or other silicone parts in the solution for more than
30 minutes. Silicon absorbs various disinfectants and thus can be damaged when
sterilized with steam.
3. Place remaining individual parts into the disinfection solution. Do not stack parts.
4. Remove the parts from the solution using forceps with a soft edge.
5. Remaining disinfection solution should be rinsed off with sterile water under
sterile conditions.
6. Dry all parts with a sterile cloth and wrap each part in a separate sterile cloth.
7. Assemble all components before sterilization.
8. Place the tube set in a sterile container if stored for a longer period of time.
