All information contained herein is subject to the rights and restrictions on the title page.
Cleaning
1. Wipe the leadset with a solution of soap and water.
2. Use a cloth moistened with distilled water to rinse away the cleaning solution.
3. Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
Disinfecting
Use hospital-approved disinfecting procedures such as those recommended by AAMI
or AORN.
1. Wipe the leadset with a fresh 10% solution of chlorine bleach and water or a
2% gluteraldehyde solution such as Cidex.
2. Use a cloth moistened with distilled water to rinse away the cleaning solution.
3. Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
Sterilization
Leadsets may be sterilized by EtO, when indicated. Use the hospital-approved proce-
dure for EtO sterilization, such as those recommended by AAMI. The Leadsets are
designed to remain effective after up to 10 exposures to EtO sterilization Cycles.
Use and Maintenance
Transceiver Storage
Store the transceiver with the leadset attached and hanging freely. If that is not possi-
ble, then wrap the leadset loosely around the transceiver. Wrapping the leadset tightly
around the transceiver can damage the wires.
Note: The DT-4500 Ambulatory Transceiver contains no user-serviceable parts.
Thus, maintenance service is not needed.
Attaching and Removing a Leadset from the Transceiver
To attach, carefully grasp the leadset connector cover, holding it with the small knob
facing upward, and push the leadset into the ECG lead wire connector. Make sure that
the leadset is completely inserted into the connector and is flush with the DT-4500
chassis.
To remove the leadset, grasp hold of the sides of the leadset connector cover and pull
straight out. If the leadset is difficult to remove, then you can slightly move the leadset
cover side-to-side until it is released.
Internal Antenna
The DT-4500 transmits in the 608-614 MHz frequency range. The omnidirectional
antenna is a part of the leadset system, with each lead wire paired with an antenna
wire. Transceiver output power and system operation requirements are defined by the
FCC. Therefore, it is essential that the leadset provided not be modified or altered
in any way.
