7. Maintaining the recorder
Caution
For proper care of the PROlink and patient cables, do not wrap the
cables around the PRO recorder during storage.
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 longer period of time.
Do not expose the recorder to temperatures lower than -15° C or higher than 45° C, 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.
Keep the USB connector attached to the PC USB port to protect the PROlink cable‟s
USB connector. If your workflow requires repeatedly disconnecting the PC from the
PROlink cable, use a USB extension cable to connect the PROLink cable to the PC.
Disconnect the extension cable from the PC USB connector to protect the PROlink cable
connector.
7.1. 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 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%).
Caution
Do not: Clean the patient or PC interface cables with pure alcohol.
Alcohol can cause the plastic to become brittle and may cause
the cable to fail prematurely.
Do not: Autoclave the cables or use ultrasonic cleaners.
Do not: Immerse the patient or PC interface cables.
Do not: Wet the connectors.
7.2. Replace the battery of the recorder
Note: After you have replaced or charged the batteries, let the Welch Allyn Cardio Perfect
software run in Monitor mode for a few seconds. This verifies that the recorder functions
properly and the optical cable is undamaged.
