10 After using the Tempus
Pro
10.1 Inspecting the Tempus Pro
After using the Tempus, always inspect the device, its accessories (including power supplies, mains cable,
batteries and charger) for signs of damage or wear. While doing this ensure that you check the strain reliefs
of cables and connectors to ensure they remain fit for use. Check that all connectors engage properly and
that cable securements work acceptably. Also remember to check connector covers (if fitted) and
particularly the Capnometer door, to ensure they close and latch acceptably.
Inform any signs of wear, damage or malfunction to your service department.
At least once per year completely inspect the whole device and in particular the mains power supply and
battery charger, for signs of extreme damage. This inspection should be performed by appropriately trained
and equipped personnel who are able to perform locally prescribed safety tests.
In addition, RDT recommends the device is tested by an appropriately trained and equipped Electro-
Biomedical Engineer to confirm the medical and other functions of the device function within specification
and within locally prescribed safety limits.
Note
Users should note that particular calibration curves exist for use of specific SpO
2
simulators
with the Tempus’ Masimo
®
pulse oximeter. Please contact RDT for details. Such functional
testers should not be used to determine the accuracy of the device, only its correspondence
to the particular calibration curve provided by the tester.
10.2 Cleaning the Tempus Pro
It is necessary to clean the Tempus Pro after use.
CAUTION
If you suspect that dirt or fluids have entered the battery compartment, see the Tempus Pro
Maintenance Manual.
Note
If the Tempus is soiled, it is the user’s responsibility to ensure it is withdrawn from use and
properly decontaminated prior to re-deployment. In this instance users are recommended to
replace the handle – for the appropriate part number, see “12 Accessories list of the
Tempus Pro”.
