Recommended Minimum Preventive Maintenance Schedule

Operational Tests should be performed at regular intervals. The Operational Tests augment the
automated self-tests that the X Series unit performs to help ensure readiness. For more
information, see the Operational Tests in the X Series Service Manual.

Annually

In addition to Daily/Shift Check Procedure and Operational Tests, the following is
recommended:

Perform NIBP calibration check.

Perform CO

2

calibration check.

The NIBP and CO

2

calibration checks should be performed annually or according to local

requirements (to be performed by a qualified Biomedical Equipment Technician (BMET))
as described in the X Series Service Manual.

Guidelines for Maintaining Peak Battery Performance

Each battery should be identified with a number or letter. An identification mark is useful in
tracking battery performance.

Keep extra batteries in the SurePower Charger Station where their status can be quickly
determined. Illumination of the Ready light is the most positive indication of a fully charged
battery.

Always carry at least one fully charged spare battery. If no other source of back-up power is
available, two spare batteries are advisable.

Rotate spare batteries routinely. The charge level gradually diminishes in a battery after it is
removed from the charger even if it is not used. Regular battery rotation helps to avoid
incidents where a low battery condition is encountered because the battery has not been
recharged or used in more than 30 days.

Whenever possible, recharge a partially depleted battery. This can be accomplished
following any incident that involves patient monitoring. It ensures maximum operating time
for each use, without reliance on spares. The need for a spare can then serve as an alert when
an aging battery fails to provide normal operating time.

Keep discharged batteries separated from spare batteries that are charged. When removing a
discharged battery from the monitor, never place it in the location intended to carry a
charged spare.

Caution

DO NOT leave X Series battery packs in a depleted state. Damage to the battery packs can occur
if they are left in a depleted state for more than 14 days.
