C. Maintenance and Storage of the ECG Module

Preventative Inspection

A preventative inspection should occur prior to each use of the ECG module to verify

that there is no visible damage to the unit that may cause it to malfunction.

Visual inspection should include the module and all cables for signs of damage and

deterioration, including but not limited to cracks, cuts, discoloration or oxidation. If a

cable or other accessory exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it prior to using the

ECG module.

Cleaning

Clean the outside of the ECG module with a mild solution of detergent and water using a

soft cloth. Avoid using excessive amounts of solution, which may infiltrate the

connectors, battery compartments or ECG module. If necessary, use a mild sterilizing

detergent with low alcohol content, such as those generally used in hospitals. Verify

that all equipment, including accessories, are completely dry before using.



CAUTION: Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons, rubbing alcohol, or chlorinated

solvents for cleaning the ECG module.

Storage

To prevent damage to the IQmark Digital ECG module due to battery leakage or

oxidation, remove all batteries if the IQmark Digital ECG module is not to be used for a

long period of time. Avoid extreme humidity and heat during storage.



CAUTION: To prevent damage to the cables, do not hang the IQmark ECG module by

the interface cable or the patient cable.

D. Maintenance and Storage of 10-Lead Resting ECG Patient Cable

Instructions for Use
