11 Maintenance, servicing
and troubleshooting
The Tempus Pro is designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. The only user-replaceable and user-
serviceable parts in the Tempus Pro are those listed in this section of the manual.
More details on maintenance are given in the Tempus Pro Maintenance Manual, which is available from
RDT, see “RDT contact details”.
The Tempus Pro Maintenance Manual contains the necessary technical information, schematics, parts
designation and process description for specified maintenance and testing to be performed.
WARNING
Do not open the battery case or in any way disassemble, modify or repair the battery.
CAUTION
All leads, cables and accessories should be checked before and after use to ensure that
such parts are not subject to wear, fraying, tears, knots or other signs of damage. Damaged
or worn parts should be replaced.
CAUTION
The ECG cables contain components to protect against the effect of a defibrillator. The
ECG cables should be measured on an annual basis (or more frequently at the user’s
discretion if they are subject to a high number of defibrillation discharges) to ensure that
they retain a resistance of 1 k ±10% as per AAMI EC53. Cables should be replaced if this
resistance is not maintained.
Note
If the Tempus Pro is no longer serviceable and is beyond repair, it may be scrapped.
Scrapping the device and its accessories must be performed in compliance with applicable
local regulations. It should be noted that special conditions may apply to the rechargeable
battery if it is required to be scrapped. The battery should be discharged before scrapping
and should not be crushed or incinerated.
