ApexPro FH Transceiver: Maintenance
Cleaning the ECG Leadsets
The transceiver ECG Leadsets are manufactured by Affinity Medical.
Contact your technical support representative for additional leadsets.
WARNINGS
 ECG lead wires must be dressed and secured to the
patient to prevent the possibility of them encircling
the patient’s neck and causing strangulation.
 Do not use leadsets which exhibit signs of wear or
damage such as cracking or degradation of the
connectors or cable insulation.
 Do not sterilize using steam or gamma radiation.
Damage to the leadsets will result.
CAUTIONS
 To increase the life of the leadsets, do not pull on the
leadsets to disconnect. Pull gently by grasping the
connectors.
 Do not immerse the leadsets in water or other liquid
to clean. Immersion may cause damage to the
leadsets.
 Repeated exposure to EtO sterilization will shorten
the effective life of the leadset. The leadsets should be
sterilized only when indicated by specific patient or
hospital requirements.
 Make sure that the wires are not twisted around each
other; since, this can interfere with transmission and
produce noise.
 Make sure that the lead wires are not inadvertently
pinched in the bed rails. This may cut the insulation
or break the leadset.
