9 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 Cleaning the Device
The manufacturer recommends that the device is cleaned after every procedure
as follows:
1. Use the ON/OFF switch to turn the device off.
2. Remove the power cable.
3. Wipe the surface of the device with a soft cloth moistened with the surface
disinfectant based on alcohol or aldehyde (for example Meliseptol® rapid).
The concentration of the used disinfectant depends on the information pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the disinfectant. Make sure moisture does not
enter the device.
NOTE!
Do not sterilize the device.
9.2 Maintenance Intervals
The manufacturer stipulates that qualified personnel or hospital technicians
must regularly test the device to assess its functionality and technical safety. This
check must be carried out once a year. The tests are described in chapter 10 An-
nual Inspection.
Regular inspections will assist in early detection of possible malfunctions. This
helps preserve the device and increases its safety and service life.
NOTE!
Service or maintenance work may not be carried out during surgery.
9.3 Maintenance Carried out by Authorized Service Technician
An authorized service technician must inspect and service the device at appropri-
ate intervals to ensure the safety and functionality of the device. The device must
be serviced at least once every two years depending on frequency and duration
of use. If the service interval is not maintained, the manufacturer does not as-
sume any liability for the operational safety of the device.
The device displays the next maintenance due date during the automatic self-
test.
A sticker located on the rear panel of the device lists the next service or mainte-
nance date.
Authorized service technicians are trained and certified only by the manufactur-
er.
All of the service tasks, such as changes, modifications, repairs, calibrations, etc.
may be carried out only by the manufacturer or manufacturer-approved trained
and skilled technicians. The technical documentation (service instructions, val-
ues for calibration, etc.) may be provided by the manufacturer to authorized ser-
vice technicians.
The manufacturer is not liable for the operational safety of the device if unau-
thorized persons conduct this maintenance or any other service tasks.
Unauthorized opening of the device and repairs performed by unauthorized per-
sonnel or third parties and/or changes or modifications release the manufactur-
er of any liability concerning the operational safety of the device.
