6. Maintaining the recorder
6.1 About maintaining the recorder
To keep your Welch Allyn CardioPerfect recorder in good working condition, please observe
the following:
Remove the battery when you do not use the recorder for a long period of time.
Do not expose the recorder to temperatures lower than -15 ºC or higher than 45 ºC,
at a maximum non-condensing humidity of 95%.
Clean the cables regularly.
Replace the battery of the recorder when the power indicator light is red.
6.2 Cleaning the Patient cables and PC interface cables
When you use electrodes that need electrode gel, make sure that the cables and the non-
disposable electrodes are cleaned regularly. Otherwise, the gel may build up on the wires.
Clean the cables and the non-disposable electrodes with a soft cloth moistened with a
recommended disinfectant or cleaning agent.
Cleaning cables: patient cables, plugs and power cords should be kept clean using lukewarm
soapy water or a neutral cleaner.
Disinfecting the cables: use chemical disinfectants containing ethanol (70%-80%), propanol
(70%-80%) or aldehydes (2%-4%).
Do not: Clean the patient cable with pure alcohol. Pure alcohol
can cause the plastic to become brittle and may cause
the cable to fail prematurely.
Caution
Do not: Autoclave the cable or use ultrasonic cleaners.
Do not: Immerse the
patient cable.
Do not:
Wet the c
onnectors.
6.3 Replace the battery of the recorder
6.3.1. Welch Allyn CardioPerfect MD recorders
The Welch Allyn CardioPerfect MD recorders get their power from a 9V alkaline battery or
optionally from an AC-mains adapter. If a 9V battery is used, you need to replace it when the
power indicator light becomes red instead of green. Do not use the recorder when the power
indicator led is red.
