5.25% sodium hypochlorite) or any other cleaning solution not recommended.
To surface clean the Rad-97:
• Wipe the outer surfaces using a dampened soft cloth with one of the
recommended cleaning solutions twice or until the surfaces are free of any visible
residue.

• Repeat the above cleaning step using a fresh wipe.
• Allow the Rad-97 to dry thoroughly before using again.

The NomoLine capnography adapter may be cleaned using a cloth moistened (not wet) with
max 70% ethanol or isopropyl alcohol.

analyzer through its sampling gas inlet connector, keep the sampling line fitted while
cleaning Rad-97.
Performance Verification
Under normal operation, no internal adjustment or recalibration is required. Safety tests and
internal adjustments should be done by qualified personnel only. Safety checks should be
performed at regular intervals or in accordance with local and governmental regulations.
To test the performance of the Rad-97 following repairs or during routine maintenance, follow
the procedure outlined in this chapter. If the Rad-97 fails any of the described tests,
discontinue its use and correct the problem before returning the device back to the user.
