Clean, Care and Maintenance
8.1 Clean
CAUTION :
Turn off the power before cleaning and disinfection. Mains supply must be switch off if it has been in use.
8.1.1 Clean the Main Unit and Patient Cable
The surface of the main unit and patient cable can be wiped with a clean soft cloth damped in soapy water or
non-caustic neutral detergent. After that, remove detergent remainder with a clean dry cloth.
8.1.2 Clean the Electrodes
Remove the remainder gel from the electrodes with a clean soft cloth first. Take the suction bulb and mental cup
of chest electrodes apart, and take the clamp and the metal part of the limb electrodes apart. Clean them in warm
water and be sure there is no remainder gel. Dry the electrodes with a clean dry cloth or air dry naturally.
8.1.3 Clean the Print Head
Dirty and soiled thermal print head will deteriorate the record definition. So it should be cleaned at least once
a month regularly. Open the recorder casing and remove the paper. Wipe the print head gently with a clean soft
cloth damped in 75% alcohol. For stubborn stain, soak it with a little alcohol first and wipe it off with a clean soft
cloth. After air dried, load the record paper and shut the casing of the recorder.

CAUTION :
Prevent the detergent from seeping into the main unit while cleaning. Do not immerse the unit or patient cable
into liquid under any circumstances.

CAUTION : Do not clean the unit and accessories with abrasive fabric and avoid scratching the electrodes.
8.2 Disinfection
To avoid permanent damage to the equipment, disinfection can be performed only when it has been considered
as necessary according to your hospital’s regulations. Before disinfection clean the equipment first. Then wipe the
surface of the unit and patient cable with hospital standard disinfectant.

CAUTION :
Do not use chloric disinfectant such as chloride and sodium hypochlorite etc.

8.3 Care and Maintenance

8.3.1 Recharge and Replacement of Battery
1) Capacity Identification
Current capacity of the rechargeable battery can be identified according to the battery symbol in the top
right corner on LCD screen.
: Full capacity
: Capacity is limited, and recharge should be taken into account
: Battery is weak; and warning message “BAT WEAK” will be displayed on LCD screen. The bat-
tery should be recharged immediately
2) Recharge
6208 View/ 6208 View Plus is equipped with recharge control circuit together with built-in rechargeable lithium
battery. When connect with the mains supply, the battery will be recharged automatically. And then the battery
recharge indicator lamp ( ) and the mains supply indicator lamp ( ) will be lit at the same time. During

45
 the course of recharging, the symbol “ ” will flash in the top right corner of LCD screen. When the capacity of
battery is full, the symbol “ ” will stop flashing, and the battery recharge indicator lamp ( ) will usually be
black. But if 6208 View/ 6208 View Plus is power off, the lamp will still lit just because the equipment will not
monitor the recharge status; so you need to power on the device to verify the status.
Because of the capacity consumption during storage and transport, the capacity of battery is not full while using
at the first time. Battery recharge should be considered before first usage.
Note: If the battery has not been used for two or three months above, recharge should be done before use the
bat tery again.
3) Replacement
When the useful life of battery is over, or foul smell and leakage has been found, please contact with manufac-
turer or local distributor for replacement of battery.

WARNING :
Only qualified service engineer authorized by BPL can open the battery compartment and replace the
bat tery. And the battery of same model and specification provided by manufacturer must
be used.
Danger of explosion -- Do not reverse the anode and cathode when connecting the battery.
When the battery’s useful life is over, contact with the manufacturer or local distributor for disposal or
dispose the battery according to local regulations.
8.3.2 Record Paper
Note: Record paper provided by manufacturer should be used. Other paper may shorten thermal print head’s life.
And the deteriorated print head may lead to illegible ECG record and block the advance of paper etc.
Storage requirements:
Record paper should be stored in dry, dark and cool area, avoiding excessive temperature, humidity and
sunshine.
Do not put the paper under fluorescence for long time.
Be sure that there is no polyvinyl chloride or other chemicals in the storage environment, which will l
ead to color change of the paper.
Do not overlap the recorded paper long time, or else the ECG record may trans-print each other.
8.3.3 Maintenance of Main Unit, Patient Cable & Electrodes
The following safety checks should be performed at least every 24 months by a qualified person who has ad-
equate training, knowledge, and practical experience to perform these tests.
a) Inspect the equipment and accessories for mechanical and functional damage.
b) Inspect the safety relevant labels for legibility.
c) Inspect the fuse to verify compliance with rated current and breaking characteristics.
d) Verify the device functions properly as described in the instructions for use.
e) Test the protection earth resistance according to IEC/EN 60601-1: Limit 0.2ohm.
f) Test the earth leakage current according to IEC/EN 60601-1: Limit: NC 500uA, SFC 1000uA.
g) Test the patient leakage current according to IEC/EN 60601-1: Limit: 10uA (CF).
h) Test the patient leakage current under single fault condition with mains voltage on the applied part ac
cording to IEC/EN 60601-1: Limit: 50uA (CF).
The leakage current should never exceed the limit. The data should be recorded in an equipment log. If the de-
vice is not functioning properly or fails any of the above tests, the device has to be repaired.

WARNING : Failure on the part of the responsible individual hospital or institution employing the use of this
equipment to implement a satisfactory maintenance schedule may cause undue equipment failure and possible
health hazards.
1) Main Unit
Avoid excessive temperature, sunshine, humidity and dirt.
Put on the dustproof coat after use and prevent from shaking violently when moving it to another place.
Prevent any liquid from seeping into the equipment, for it will affect the safety and performance of elec
trocardiograph.

46
2) Patient Cable
Integrity of patient cable, including main cable and lead wires, should be checked regularly. And be sure
that it is conductible.
Do not drag or twist the patient cable with excessive stress while using. Hold the connector plugs in
stead of the cable when connect or disconnect the patient cable.
Align the patient cable to avoid twisting, knotting or crooking in closed anglen while using.
Store the lead wires in bigger wheel to prevent any people from stumbling.
Once damage or aging of the cable patient has been found, replace it with a new one immediately.
3) Electrodes
Electrodes must be cleansed after use and be sure there is no remainder gel on them.
Keep the suction bulb of chest electrode from sunshine and excessive temperature.
After long-term use, the surface of electrodes will be oxidized because of erosion and other causes. By
this time, electrodes should be replaced to achieve high-quality ECG.

CAUTION :
The equipment and reusable accessories can be sent back to the manufacturer for recycling or proper disposal
after their useful lives.
