The Monitor must be kept dust-free.
Regular cleaning of the monitor shell and the screen is strongly recommended. Use only non-caustic deter-
gents such as soap and water to clean the monitor shell.
Note
• Please pay special attention to the following items:
1. Avoid using ammonia-based or acetone-based cleaners such as acetone.
2. Most cleaning agents must be diluted before use. Follow the manufacturer's directions carefully to avoid
damaging the monitor.
3. Don't use the grinding material, such as steel wool etc.
4. Don't let the cleaning agent enter into the chassis of the system.
5. Don't leave the cleaning agents at any part of the equipment.
10.3 Cleaning Agents
Examples of disinfectants that can be used on the instrument casing are listed below:
• Diluted Ammonia Water
• Diluted Sodium Hyoichlo (Bleaching agent).
Note
• The diluted sodium hyoichlo from 500ppm(1:100 diluted bleaching agent) to 5000ppm (1:10 bleaching
agents) is very effective. The concentration of the diluted sodium hyocihlo depends on how many
organisms (blood, mucus) on the surface of the chassis to be cleaned.
1. Diluted Formaldehyde 35% -- 37%
2. Hydrogen Peroxide 3%
3. Alcohol
4. Isopropanol
• The monitor and sensor surface can be cleaned with hospital-grade ethanol and dried in air or with crisp
and clean cloth.
• Our company has no responsibility for the effectiveness of controlling infectious disease using these
chemical agents. Please contact infectious disease experts in your hospital for details.
10.4 disinfection
To avoid long-term damage to the device, we suggest to disinfect the device only necessary during the
maintenance plan. And we suggest to clean the device first before disinfection.
Advised disinfection material: ethanol group, aldehyde group
Please refer to relative chapters for the disinfection of ECG lead, SpO
Caution
• Do not use EtO gas or formaldehyde to disinfect the monitor.
• Dilute the disinfectant according to manufacture's instruction or adopt the disinfectant with concentration
as low as possible.
• Do not let any liquid ingress into the device.
• Do not immerse any part of the device in any liquid.
• During disinfection, do not pour any liquid on the device.
• Do not leave any disinfectant on the surface of device, wipe it up immediately with a wet cloth.

11.1 What is eCG Monitoring
Monitoring the ECG produces a continuous waveform of the patient's cardiac electric activity to enable
an accurate assessment of his current physiological state. Only proper connection of the ECG cables can
ensure satisfactory measurement. On the Normal Display, the monitor provides display of 2-channel ECG
waveforms.
• The patient cable consists of 2 parts;
The cable that connects to the monitor;
The lead set that connects to the patient.
sensor, NIBP cuff and TEMP probe.
