SECTION 5 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, CARE AND CLEANING
______________________________________________________________________
5-5
1.
Unplug A/C line cord from the BIS VIEW monitor.
2.
Lay the monitor screen-side-down on a scratch-free work surface so that the
Battery/Power Supply cover is accessible.
3.
Remove 4 screws from the Battery/Power Supply cover and remove the cover. The
power supply is located inside the cover.
4.
Unplug (squeeze and pull to remove) the battery and the power supply connectors.
5.
Remove screws from the power supply bracket and remove the old power supply.
6.
Insert new power supply into the cover, lining up the A/C power receptacle with the
cutout in the cover.
7.
Reconnect the power supply.
8.
Reconnect the battery.
9.
Replace the cover and 4 screws (hand-tighten only) and reconnect the A/C power
cord.
5.2.6
Checking Leakage Current
Leakage current is a primary indicator of electrical shock hazard to personnel making contact
with any exposed outer surface of the equipment. Each BIS VIEW monitor is carefully
checked at the factory to verify that leakage current meets the UL60601-1 and IEC60601-1-1
safety standards.
The BIS VIEW monitor should be checked routinely for leakage current at least once
a year.
Always have the leakage current checked after a saline or blood spill, or immediately after a
major surge in the house electrical system and after every time the monitor case has been
opened.
Keep in mind that liquids such as saline and Ringer’s as well as blood are all excellent
conductors of electricity. Avoid touching any part of the system with wet hands. Always
work with clean, dry hands.
WARNING:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: THE MANUFACTURER’S
INSPECTION OF THIS APPARATUS VERIFIED THAT THE
GROUND LEAKAGE CURRENT AND THE PATIENT SAFETY
CURRENT WERE LESS THAN THE SPECIFIED LIMITS
ESTABLISHED BY THE APPLICABLE SAFETY STANDARDS. AS
A MATTER OF SAFE PRACTICE, THE INSTITUTION SHOULD
CONDUCT PERIODIC TESTS TO VERIFY THESE CURRENTS.
WHENEVER AN EVENT SUCH AS SPILLAGE OF BLOOD OR
SOLUTIONS OCCURS, RE-TEST LEAKAGE CURRENT BEFORE
FURTHER USE.
The BIS VIEW Monitoring unit
does not
contain a
Protective Earth Stud (GND Stud)
.
Since the exposed metal parts on the rear of the BIS VIEW Monitor (Communication serial
port and USB ports) are separated from live parts by double insulation, a ground continuity
test does not apply to these parts. The components of the BIS VIEW Monitor that are
connected to protective earth are contained within its enclosure and are not accessible to the
