16.2 Safety Information
CAUTION
• The responsible hospital or institution shall carry out all cleaning and
disinfection procedures specified in this chapter.
• Be sure to shut down the TM80/TM70 before cleaning the equipment.
• Non-medical equipment does not provide the same level of protection
against electrical shock. Do not touch the patient and any part of
nonmedical equipment at the same time. Some examples of non-
medical equipment are laser printers and nonmedical computers.
• Avoid use of cleaners, materials or chemicals that may damage
equipment surfaces, labels, or cause equipment failures.
• During cleaning and disinfection, using a wrong disinfectant in the
wrong disinfection method will damage accessories after cleaning and
disinfection, which will result measurement failure.
• Do not pour or spray any liquid directly on the equipment or accessories
or permit fluid to seep into connections or openings.
• Keep your equipment and accessories free of dust and dirt. To avoid
damage to the equipment, follow these guidelines:
◆ Always dilute according to the manufacturer’s instructions or use
lowest possible concentration.
◆ Do not immerse any part of the equipment or accessories into liq-
uid. Do not pour liquid onto the equipment or accessories.
◆ Do not allow liquid to enter the case and the equipment interior.
◆ Never use abrasive materials (such as steel wool or silver polish), or
erosive cleaners (such as acetone or acetone-based cleaners).
