6.2. Transportation and Storage 

Please  follow  these  recommendations  to  ensure  safe  transportation  and  storage  of  your 

BITalino

 equipment and sensors to prevent any damaging of your system. 

 
The 

BITalino

those are not being used. 
 

  Relative humidity: up to 95% with no condensation 

  Ambient temperature: 10°C to 30°C 

  Atmospheric pressure between 500hPa and 1060hPa 

 
Whenever the equipment needs to be transported, it should be placed in the original box, since 
this was designed and tested to ensure the equipment and accessories are securely stored. 
 
Take  care  while  handling  the  transportation  of  the  system  and  avoid  dropping  it,  since  the 
device is not shock-proof and should not be placed under stress or sudden acceleration. 
 

6.3. Cleaning 

Please  follow  these  cleaning  instructions  to  prevent  any  damage  of  the  system  or  the  user 
because of conducting cleaning methods that may cause any damage. 
 

  The 

BITalino

 and sensors should be visually checked before each use and cleaning 

process to ensure that no mechanical damage occurred. 

 

  The 

BITalino

 equipment and sensors (including the cables) should be cleaned with a 

slightly damp cloth or suitable absorbent paper, ensuring no liquid enters the equipment 
of sensors. Do not use detergent or any type of cleaning liquid as these may damage 
your equipment and/or sensor. 

 

  Do not clean or re-use detection surfaces (electrodes). They are only suitable for single 

use, and should be disposed of after usage except indicated otherwise.
