140 Maintenance Welch Allyn Propaq LT Vital Signs Monitor
Inspecting and cleaning the monitor and accessories
Before cleaning the monitor, cradle, AC power adapter, or any accessories, thoroughly
inspect them.
• Look for any signs of damage and any improper mechanical function of buttons or
connectors.
• Gently bend and flex cables, inspecting them for damage or extreme wear,
exposed wires, or bent connectors.
• Confirm that all connectors engage securely.
Immediately report any sign of damage or malfunction to your service department.
At least once per year, thoroughly inspect the cradle and the AC adapter power cord for
damage or extreme wear.
To clean the monitor, the cradle, or any accessories, follow these steps:
1. Wipe the equipment with a cloth slightly moistened (not wet) with one of the
approved cleaning solutions listed in
Table 11 on page 141.
2. Thoroughly wipe off any excess cleaning solution. Do not let the cleaning solution run
into or accumulate in connector openings, latches, or crevices. If liquid gets into
connectors, dry the area with warm air, and then check the equipment to confirm that
it operates properly.
WARNING Do not incinerate, submerge, crush, disassemble, or autoclave the
lithium-ion battery.
Caution Do not remove or replace the battery unless you are a Welch Allyn
qualified service technician.
Caution Do not use the monitor while the battery is being replaced.
WARNING Do not autoclave the monitor, the cradle, the AC power adapter, or
any accessories.
WARNING Do not immerse the monitor, the cradle, or the AC power adapter in
liquid when cleaning. Do not immerse accessories in liquid when cleaning unless
the accessory manufacturer’s cleaning instructions explicitly instruct you to do so.
WARNING Fire and electrical shock hazard. Always unplug the AC power
adapter from the electrical power outlet before inspecting or cleaning the cradle,
the AC power adapter, or the monitor. Exposing any of these to liquids, such as
cleaning solutions, while they are connected to electrical power could result in
electrical shock or fire.
Caution Use only a cleaning solution recommended by Welch Allyn for this
equipment. Use of any other cleaning solutions which have a high acid content or
are otherwise inappropriate can cause damage to the equipment, including
cracking and deterioration of the plastic case.
Caution Always follow the mixing/diluting instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the cleaning solution.
