Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaners that will damage the housing.
Vision display, Vision base, and Link Auxiliary Base (LAB) should all be cleaned as required per hospital
procedures. Follow these guidelines when cleaning Vision Central Station:
•
Use only a lint free, nonabrasive cloth, which has been slightly dampened with mild detergent. A glass
cleaner (non-ammonia) or a non-alcoholic based solvent is recommended. If you are unsure about
cleaning solution, apply a small amount to cloth and test an area on side of base unit housing. If no

The ESCORT Vision central station and Link Auxiliary Base (LAB) should be located in an area that
allows ample air circulation. It should be away from possible sources of electrical/magnetic
interference and extreme temperatures. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended to
prevent system from resetting during brief power outages or testing of hospital backup power systems.
•
Visual inspection of mechanical integrity of all cables and power cords should be performed per
hospital procedures.
•
Biomedical inspection should be performed to check for acceptable equipment performance and
electrical safety according to protocol set forth by your hospital’s administration.
