6.2 Care and maintenance
Your CardioDock blood pressure module is a high-
precision instrument. Handle with care to avoid da-
maging the electronics and prevent defects.
Observe the following instructions:
•
Never use strong detergents or hard brushes.
•
Clean the unit using a soft cloth lightly moistened
with a mild soapy solution. Do not allow any water
to get into the unit. Do not use the unit again until it
is completely dry.
•
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, and pro-
tect it from dust and moisture.
•
Only inflate the cuff when it is in position around the
upper arm.
•
Keep the cuff clean. If it gets dirty, separate it from
the device and clean it with mild soapy water. Rinse
it thoroughly with cold water and let it dry in the air.
Do not put the cuff in a dryer and do not iron it.
•
Even if you do not use the device for a long time,
charge it fully once a month.
•
Put the module back in its carrying case after each
use.
•
Servicing and calibration
The unit has been calibrated by the manufacturer
for a period of two years' use. In the case of com-
mercial use, the unit must be serviced and recali-
brated at least once every two years. This cali-
bration will be charged for and can be carried out by
an appropriate authority or an authorised service
centre - in accordance with the regulations for users
of medical equipment.
